midodrine and Autonomic Failure, Progressive

midodrine has been researched along with Autonomic Failure, Progressive in 7 studies

Midodrine: An ethanolamine derivative that is an adrenergic alpha-1 agonist. It is used as a vasoconstrictor agent in the treatment of HYPOTENSION.
midodrine : An aromatic ether that is 1,4-dimethoxybenzene which is substituted at position 2 by a 2-(glycylamino)-1-hydroxyethyl group. A direct-acting sympathomimetic with selective alpha-adrenergic agonist activity, it is used (generally as its hydrochloride salt) as a peripheral vasoconstrictor in the treatment of certain hypotensive states. The main active moiety is its major metabolite, deglymidodrine.

Trial Outcomes

Gait Analysis - Gait Velocity

"Using a gait mat, participants were instructed to walk self-paced on the mat, turn around, and walk back. Their velocity was measured in cm/sec.~This output was compared pre- and post- 6 week dosing with study medication." (NCT04510922)
Timeframe: 6 weeks

Interventioncm/sec (Mean)
Droxidopa112.1

Gait Analysis - Single Leg Stance Time

Using a gait mat, participants were instructed to walk self-paced along the mat. The sensors in the mat automatically extracted the percentage of time a participant stood on a single leg. The output was compared pre- and post- 6 week dosing with study medication. (NCT04510922)

PDQ-39 Score

"The Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) assesses how often people with Parkinson's experience difficulties across 8 dimensions of daily living including mobility, activities of daily living, emotional well-being, stigma, social support, cognition, communication, and bodily discomfort.~The scale consists of 39 items ranked on a 5-point ordinal scale (Never=0, Occasionally=1, Sometimes=2, Often=3, Always=4).~Each dimension total score range from 0 (never have difficulty) to 100 (always have difficulty). Lower scores reflect better Quality of Life.~Dimension score = sum of scores of each item in the dimension divided by the maximum possible score of all the items in the dimension, multiplied by 100.~Overall score = sum of dimension total scores divided by 8.~Scores were compared pre- and post- 6 weeks dosing with medication." (NCT04510922)
Timeframe: 6 weeks

Interventionscore on a scale (Mean)
Droxidopa31

Postural Analysis - Postural Sway

Using a gait mat, postural sway was measured in cm on the X-axis while participants were asked to stand eyes open and eyes closed for 30 seconds. This output was compared pre- and post- 6 weeks dosing with study medication. (NCT04510922)
Timeframe: 6 weeks

Interventioncm (Mean)
Droxidopa35.8

Tinetti Score

"he Tinetti assessment tool is an easily administered task-oriented test that measures an older adult's gait and balance abilities. Scoring: Items are scored either 0-1 or 0-2. 0 indicates the highest level of impairment, whereas a higher score (1 or 2) indicates the individuals independence.~There were 17 tasks (one task split into two sub-items and scored twice) that the scores were summed for a highest possible score of 28 (10 items scored on a 0-1 scale, and 8 items scored on a 0-2 scale).~The Tinetti assessment was compared pre- and post- 6 week medication dosing."

Frequency of Worsening Symptoms Noted in the Patient's Diary

A tailored questionnaire to examine symptoms over the treatment period and the used of as needed medications. Each day will have a designated page. Since nausea/vomiting and hypertension occur together in FD we will use a diary consisting of a simplified version of the Rhodes Index 44 symptoms of nausea/retching, with items addressing vomiting/throwing up omitted, as most participants will have had anti-reflux surgery to prevent vomiting (fundoplication), graded on a 5-point scale (appendix 2). The diary will also include space to write down any adverse events on a daily basis. (NCT02553265)
