Scientific titleA single-center, blinded, placebo-controlled randomized study of the effect of CRX-150 on serum C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and inflammatory cytokines compared to placebo in subjects with severe adult periodontitis
Study acronymPerio-04-17
Study objectivesThis study aims to assess the effect of CRx-150 (amoxapine and dipyridamole) on serum C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and inflammatory cytokines compared to placebo in adult with severe periodontitis. This is both the first study of the anti-inflammatory effects of CRx-150 in a subject population with a chronic inflammation, and also the first study of this combination in human.
Ethics approval(s)University College London Hospital Ethics Committee alpha, ref: 04/Q0505/58
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPeriodontitis
InterventionDaily CRx-150 (150 mg amoxapine and 200 mg dipridamole) administered orally or placebo for 8 weeks.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)CRx-150 (amoxapine and dipyridamole)
Primary outcome measureReduction in CRP levels in subjects with severe adult periodontitis treated with CRx-150 compared to placebo over the course of six weeks.
Secondary outcome measures1. Changes in inflammatory cytokine profiles, measured at each visit, 10 visits in total during the intervention
2. Change in periodontal pocket depths between baseline and 8 weeks
3. Changes in CRP levels following SRP, measured between Visit 7 and 8

4. Subject must have voluntarily signed the informed consent.
Key exclusion criteria1. Female subject is pregnant or lactating or of child bearing potential not using acceptable methods of birth control (hormonal, barriers or abstinence).
2. Subject is currently taking any anti-depressants or anti-seizure medication.
3. Subject has a history of seizure disorders.
4. Subject has a history of asthma.
5. Subject had a myocardial infarction within six months of enrollment.
6. Subject has received periodontal treatment in the last three months, including Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), Arestin, Periochip, Atridox and/or Periostat.
7. Subject is currently taking a statin, and has not been on stable dosing for 6 months prior to entering into the trial.
8. Subject is on chronic treatment (i.e., two weeks or more) with any medication known to affect periodontal status (e.g., phenytoin, dihydropyridine calcium antagonists, cyclosporine, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) within one month of baseline visit.
9. Subject is on concomitant therapy of warfarin (coumadine), clopidogrel, ticlopidine or once daily aspirin of more than 81 mg.
10. Subject has any known diseases (not including controlled diabetes mellitus), infections or recent surgical procedures within 30 days of study initiation.
11. Subject knowingly has HIV or Hepatitis.
12. Subject has undergone administration of any investigational drug within 30 days of study initiation.
13. Subject has history of serious drug-related reactions, including hypersensitivity to tri-cyclic anti-depressants.
14. Subject has limited mental capacity or language skills such that simple instructions cannot be followed or information regarding adverse events cannot be provided.
