riluzole and Adverse Drug Event

riluzole has been researched along with Adverse Drug Event in 7 studies

Riluzole: A glutamate antagonist (RECEPTORS, GLUTAMATE) used as an anticonvulsant (ANTICONVULSANTS) and to prolong the survival of patients with AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS.

Trial Outcomes

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

ALSFRS-R is a self-administered ordinal rating scale questionnaire (rating 0-4 for each question,4 is most functional,0-48 total)of 12 functional activities. The most functional total score is 48. ALSFRS-R done at baseline and weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48 & 52, dependent on enrollment duration. Number of subjects who failed by treatment group was evaluated. Failure was defined as 6-point drop in ALSFRS-R or death from baseline. (NCT00818389)
Timeframe: 9 months: Baseline to study termination (January 2009 - October 2009)

Secondary efficacy was evaluated by comparing the mean rate of decline of ALSFRS-R score by treatment group. (NCT00818389)
Timeframe: 9 months: Baseline to study termination (January 2009 - October 2009)

InterventionScores on a scale (Mean)

Vital Capacity (VC) (Percent of Predicted Normal)

Secondary efficacy was measured by comparing the rate of decline of mean VC by treatment group. (NCT00818389)
