Thyrotropin-releasing hormone has been reported to increase strength in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). DN-1417 is an analog of thyrotropin-releasing hormone, which has less endocrinologic activity, but more anterior horn cell stimulating effect (with no "autorefractory state"). However, 2 mg DN-1417, IM twice a day for 1 month in an open-label trial, produced no objective improvement of strength in nine patients with ALS. No patient entered the double-blind, placebo-controlled phase of the trial.
据报道,促甲状腺激素释放激素可增强肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)患者的肌力。DN - 1417是促甲状腺激素释放激素的类似物,其内分泌活性较低,但对前角细胞的刺激作用更强(无“自身不应期”)。然而,在一项开放标签试验中,9例ALS患者每天两次、每次2毫克肌内注射DN - 1417,持续1个月,肌力并未出现客观改善。没有患者进入该试验的双盲、安慰剂对照阶段。
