General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The main objective of the trial is the validation and identification of markers and evaluation of the biological effects on these markers as well as the tolerance and safety of a combination of antioxidants (NAC, lipoic acid and vitamin E), in patients with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) . This is the study of a combination of drugs in a new therapeutic indication.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
A physical examination and measurement of vital signs of the subjects has been done at each visit. Also biochemical and hematological tests will be requested at each visit including: blood count, ionogram, kidney function, liver function, proteins, lipid profile and urine analysis.

Recruitment
|
|||||||
Recruitment details |
13 AMN subjects were recruited through the patient association (ELA-España, Spanish Association against Leukodystrophies). Visits were done in the Bellvitge University Hospital were recruited from September 2011 to December 2011. | ||||||
Pre-assignment
|
|||||||
Screening details |
Symptomatic subjects over 18 years of age, with confirmed diagnosis of AMN by elevation in VLCFA and the presence of a mutation in the ABCD1 gene. Subjects with cerebral inflammatory disease verified with gadolinium enhancement were excluded. | ||||||

|
||||||
|
|||||||
Notes [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period. Justification: Patients showing normalization of biomarkers with Dose A, the treatment was restarted for 12 months at the same dose (only 1 patient). Patients showing no normalization of oxidative damage biomarkers with Dose A, the dosage was increased to dose B for 3 months: NAC (2400 mg), LA (600 mg), and vit E (300 IU) (the other 12 patients) |

In the eventuality that protein oxidative damage biomarkers were not reduced, the patient was considered a non-responder, and the treatment was discontinued at that point. | ||||||

The reference values were calculated according to the sample distribution of 25 healthy individuals. The point that defines a superior moderate outlier in the sample of controls was taken as the reference limit (Q75 + 1.5 × IQR, Q75 = 75% percentile, IQR = interquartile range). 25 healthy subjects were used to determine the control biomarker values.

MDAL | ||||||||||||||||
End point description |
MDAL (Nepsilonmalondialdehyde-lysine) is a lipid peroxidation-derived product. MDAL was tested in the plasma by GC/MS according to the methodology described by Fourcade et al. (Hum Mol Genet 2008;17:1762–1773). The reference values were calculated according to the sample distribution of 12 healthy individuals. The point that defines a superior moderate outlier in the sample of controls was taken as the reference limit (Q75 + 1.5 × IQR, Q75 = 75% percentile, IQR = interquartile range). 25 healthy subjects were used to determine the control biomarker values.

End point timeframe |
MDAL was measured in plasma at baseline, after 2 months with dose A (13 subjects) and after 3 months with dose B in subjects who do not normalize oxidative biomarkers (12 subjects)

6MWT | ||||||||||||
End point description |
6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT): this test is used as a physical performance‐based measure of global responses of all systems to submaximal exercise. It measures the distance an individual is able to walk over a total of six minutes on a hard, flat surface. The goal is for the individual to walk as far as possible in six minutes. The individual is allowed to self‐pace and rest as needed as he traverses back and forth along a marked walkway.

A sub-study is introduced in which all patients who want to freely participate are offered the possibility of performing a 2-[F-18] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose or PET-FDG. The objectives of the sub-study are:
1-Determine if the use of PET-FDG has diagnostic or prognostic interest in AMN patients with MRI without conclusive findings in Flair and T1IR sequences.
2-Determine if the use of PET-FDG provides new information useful in monitoring the evolution of brain lesions compared to that obtained with MRI, and is modulable with the treatment proposed in this or in future clinical trials. |
||
Interruptions (globally) |
|||
Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No | |||
Limitations and caveats |
|||
Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data. | |||
None reported | |||
