简要总结

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mexiletine hydrochloride in patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does mexiletine hydrochloride improve the ALSFRS-R score in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patients?

Participants will:

Take mexiletine hydrochloride or a placebo every day for 3 months Visit the hospital once every 4 weeks for evaluations.

  • Patients who are at least 18 years old and less than 80 years old at the time of consent
  • Patients who give their voluntary written consent after having received adequate information on this study (However, if the patient is unable to sign the consent form due to the condition of the disease, a person equivalent to a regal representative must be present to provide written explanation, the prospective candidate must verbally consent to participate in the study, and a person equivalent to a regal representative must sign the consent form on behalf of the patient. The person who is to be the regal representative may sign the document on his/her behalf, noting the circumstances and his/her relationship to the subject.)

结局指标

主要结局

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) score

时间窗: at 4weeks

The ALSFRS-R is a comprehensive severity index comprising 12 items covering bulbar, upper limb, lower limb, and respiratory symptoms to evaluate the ADLs of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Each item is rated on a five-point scale from 0 (worse) to 4 (better), and a total score (miniimum 0point and maximum 48 point) is calculated.

次要结局

  • ALSFRS-R Score(up to 12 weeks)
  • Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy Functional Rating Scale (SBMAFRS) score(up to 12 weeks)
  • Grip strength(up to 12 weeks)
  • Tongue pressure(up to 12 weeks)
  • Timed walk test (4.6 meters)(up to 12 weeks)
  • 6-minute walk test(up to 12 weeks)
  • Respiratory function test (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC))(up to 12 weeks)
  • Respiratory function test (Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF))(up to 12 weeks)
