Energy Metabolism in Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Pilot Trial of Pyruvate, Creatine, and Niacinamide in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

Brief Summary

      This study intends to study the safety and tolerance of the combination of pyruvate,
      creatine, and niacinamide over 6 months in patients with PSP.
    

Detailed Description

      There are no effective symptomatic or biologic treatments for progressive supranuclear palsy
      (PSP), a relatively rare neurodegenerative disease that presents late in life with relentless
      progressive postural balance disturbances, non-levodopa responsive parkinsonism, supranuclear
      vertical gaze palsy, pseudobulbar palsy, and frontal behavioral and dysexecutive symptoms. In
      light of currently proposed etiopathogenic mechanisms in PSP and based on successful
      experiments inhibiting cellular neurotoxicity, it is hypothesized that preservation of brain
      energy homeostasis may allow endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms to reverse or impede free
      radical injury or other neurotoxic events leading to neurodegeneration in this disease. An
      emerging literature has described the neuroprotective effects of pyruvate, (as a neuronal
      energy fuel and free radical scavenger); niacinamide, (which boosts cofactor NAD), and
      creatine, (which buffers and selectively parcels cellular energy utilization) in various
      animal models of brain injury or degeneration.

      Ajay Verma et al. have further demonstrated a synergistic neuroprotective effect of these
      three nutrients in various neural injury models. We thus propose using these nutrients as a
      novel and safe neuroprotective approach for treating PSP patients. This randomized,
      double-blind, placebo, control pilot study will test the safety and tolerance of this
      nutrient combination over 6 months in patients with PSP, and will measure their transport
      across the blood brain barrier. In addition to clinical and neuropsychological outcome
      measures, brain creatine will also be evaluated using magnetic resonance spectroscopy before
      and after therapy

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  All subjects must meet the clinically definite or probable NINDS-SPSP PSP diagnostic
             research criteria that includes the presence of postural instability at disease onset,
             as well as supranuclear vertical ophthalmoparesis.

          -  All subjects must be able to tolerate oral feedings and be ambulatory

          -  All subjects or their caregivers must be able to read and understand the consent

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Any contraindications to the use of pyruvate, creatine, and niacinamide

          -  the presence of a medical condition that can reasonably be expected to subject the
             patient to unwarranted risk or require frequent changes in medication.

          -  Pregnancy, nursing, or lack of effective contraception, if still at child-bearing age.

          -  History of prior sever traumatic brain injury or other severe neurologic or
             psychiatric condition, such as psychosis, stroke, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord
             injury, which will interfere with outcome evaluation, in the opinion of the local
             principal investigator

          -  Subject unable to discontinue prohibited medication, which includes antiparkinsonian
             medications with potential neuroprotective effects such as amantadine, deprenyl, and
             vitamin E supplements > 400 IU per day.
