fenfluramine and Autistic Disorder

fenfluramine has been researched along with Autistic Disorder in 59 studies

Fenfluramine: A centrally active drug that apparently both blocks serotonin uptake and provokes transport-mediated serotonin release.
fenfluramine : A secondary amino compound that is 1-phenyl-propan-2-amine in which one of the meta-hydrogens is substituted by trifluoromethyl, and one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is substituted by an ethyl group. It binds to the serotonin reuptake pump, causing inhbition of serotonin uptake and release of serotonin. The resulting increased levels of serotonin lead to greater serotonin receptor activation which in turn lead to enhancement of serotoninergic transmission in the centres of feeding behavior located in the hypothalamus. This suppresses the appetite for carbohydrates. Fenfluramine was used as the hydrochloride for treatment of diabetes and obesity. It was withdrawn worldwide after reports of heart valve disease and pulmonary hypertension.

Autistic Disorder: A disorder beginning in childhood. It is marked by the presence of markedly abnormal or impaired development in social interaction and communication and a markedly restricted repertoire of activity and interest. Manifestations of the disorder vary greatly depending on the developmental level and chronological age of the individual. (DSM-V)

Trial Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measurements to Determine Efficacy of Treatment With CM-AT Versus Placebo for Changes in the Aberrant Behavior Checklist Subscale for Irritability / Agitation (ABC-I) Between Baseline and Week 12/Termination Visit

Primary outcome measurements to determine efficacy of treatment with CM-AT versus Placebo for changes in the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) - Community sub scale for Irritability/Agitation (ABC-I) between baseline (subject's initial measurement) and Week 12/Termination (subject's final measurement) visit. Participants were between 3 through to 6 years old inclusive and took 900mg CM-AT or Placebo three times daily. The ABC-I is one of five discrete sub scales measured by the ABC. The scale range is 0-45. A higher score reflects higher severity of symptoms (irritability). Scores are obtained via Parent Rated Questionnaire. Parents respond to a series of questions on a scale directly into an electronic data capture system (EDC), responding: 0 = not at all a problem 1 = the behavior is a problem but slight in degree 2 = the problem is moderately serious 3 = the problem is severe in degree. The score was automatically calculated by the EDC. (NCT02410902)
