Efficacy of 3,4-DAP in Fatigue Associated With Multiple Sclerosis

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis
• Interventions: Drug: 3,4-diaminopyridine

• Registration Number: NCT00190268
• Lead Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Brief Summary

Rational of study : 3,4-diaminopyridine is suspected to improved the fatigue associated in patient's multiple sclerosis.

In order to confirm this hypothesis, a randomized, controlled versus placebo, double blinded study is performed.

Detailed Description

We proposed a randomized controlled trial between 3,4-diaminopyridine and placebo .

The main objective : improvement of fatigue by diminution of EMIF-SEP score between the arm treatment and placebo arm. The hypothesis tested is that the 3,4-DAP is efficacy in the fatigue of multiple sclerosis.
