Active clinical trials for "Restless Legs Syndrome"

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of pregabalin and pramipexole versus placebo in the treatment of restless legs syndrome and associated sleep disturbance.

This study was designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic profile and efficacy in Restless Legs Syndrome patients.

This is a multi-center, open-label extension trial conducted at the same European sites that participated in trial SP 709 (NCT00243217). The trial is designed to collect long-term safety and tolerability, efficacy correlates, and quality of life data in subjects with idiopathic Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). The duration of treatment is approximately 5 years. Subject will be up-titrated to their optimal dose (administration of 1 patch per day, 5 different doses and patch sizes).

The primary objective of the current study will be the evaluation of long-term efficacy of a 26-weeks treatment with pramipexole in patients with idiopathic moderate to severe Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in comparison to placebo. The key secondary objectives are to assess the effects on clinical global impressions - global improvement (CGI-I) (based on CGI-I responder rate) and on RLS (based on IRLS responder rate) for 26 weeks under pramipexole in comparison to placebo. Further secondary objectives are to investigate the incidence and severity of augmentation and rebound and to assess the effects on patient global impression (PGI) (based on PGI responder rate), on RLS symptoms (based on the RLS-6 scales), on associated mood disturbance (based on item 10 of the IRLS), on pain in limbs (based on a visual analogue scale (VAS)), on quality of life in RLS (based on Johns Hopkins RLS-QoL), on general quality of life Short Form 36 (SF-36) and on safety (based on adverse events (AE) profile) of pramipexole in comparison to placebo.

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a common sensori-motor disorder that causes sensory discomfort and motor restlessness, most often in the legs, which improves with movement. Although medications are available to treat the disorder, many people either experience side effects that prevent them from continuing on the medication or do not sufficiently respond to current RLS medications. Recently, botulinum toxin type A (BNT) has been reported to relief RLS in patients with severe symptoms but this was not confirmed by other anecdotal reports. The investigators propose to test the efficacy of BNT on RLS symptoms by designing a more controlled study. Ultimately, this may lead to extend the therapeutic arsenal of this disorder.

The primary objective of this trial is to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of XP13512 (Gabapentin Enacarbil) taken once daily for the treatment of patients suffering from Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) study in adults comparing immediate release ropinirole with extended release ropinirole over 12 weeks

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ropinirole XR in the treatment of adults with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).

The primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate that rotigotine (SPM 936) is efficacious in subjects with idiopathic restless leg syndrome (RLS). Additional objectives are to investigate the safety and tolerability of rotigotine. The primary variables are the absolute change from Baseline in the International Restless Legs Severity Scale (IRLS) sum score and Clinical Global Impression-Global Improvement (CGI) Item 1 (severity of illness) score at the end of the Maintenance Period. Subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo, 2.25, 4.5 or 6.75 mg/day rotigotine in a 1:1:1:1 (active:placebo) fashion. Approximately 450 subjects will be enrolled in this trial, participating at approximately 50 sites. The maximum duration of the trial is approximately 8 months (3-week Titration Period, 6-month Maintenance Period, 7-day Taper Period, and 30-day Safety Follow-Up Period). Subjects who complete the 6-month Maintenance Period will be eligible to participate in an open-label extension trial. Subjects who do not complete the 6-month Maintenance Period or who choose not to participate in the open-label extension trial will complete a 3-day Safety Follow-Up Period. Two different patch sizes will be used (5 and 10 cm2). Active patches will contain either 2.25mg (5cm2) or 4.5mg (10cm2) of rotigotine.

This is a multicenter, open-label trial to assess safety and tolerability of rotigotine (SPM 936) in subjects with idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), administered at an optimal dose for up to 1 year. Subjects who successfully completed the Maintenance Period and the Taper Period of SP792 are allowed to enroll in this trial. All subjects will begin the Titration Period at a daily dosage of 1.125mg rotigotine (2.5cm2 patch). Subjects will be up-titrated at 7-day intervals in 1.125mg (2.5cm2 increments, initial titration step only) and 2.25mg intervals (5cm2) increments to a maximum dose of 6.75mg/day (15cm2) rotigotine. The maximum length of titration is 28 days (±3 days), although not all subjects will require 28 days to reach their optimal dose. A subject's dose may be increased or decreased, as needed by the investigator to maintain a subject's effective dose during the Maintenance Period. A Taper Period is provided to allow for safe, gradual withdrawal from trial medication
