Published Studies Related to Salagen (Pilocarpine)
A 12-week, double-masked, parallel-group study of the safety and efficacy of travoprost 0.004% compared with pilocarpine 1% in Chinese patients with primary angle-closure and primary angle-closure glaucoma. [2011.08]
OBJECTIVE: To examine the intraocular pressure-lowering efficacy and safety of travoprost 0.004% and pilocarpine 1% in Chinese patients with primary angle-closure (PAC) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) after laser iridotomy in China... CONCLUSIONS: Travoprost 0.004% once daily provides effective IOP-lowering efficacy with significantly greater IOP reduction from baseline when compared with pilocarpine 1% 4 times daily at 4 PM over the 12-week period. Travoprost 0.004% once daily is safe and well tolerated in PAC or PACG patients.
A phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of pilocarpine for vaginal dryness: North Central Cancer Treatment group study N04CA. [2011.05]
Vaginal dryness is a common problem for which effective and safe nonestrogenic treatments are needed. Based on preliminary promising data that pilocarpine attenuated vaginal dryness, the current trial was conducted... Toxicity evaluation revealed more nausea, sweating, rigors, and urinary frequency with the pilocarpine arms compared with the placebo arm.
Tramadol-induced oral dryness and pilocarpine treatment: effects on total protein and IgA. [2011.04]
Pilocarpine induces a profuse flow of saliva, and it may re-establish saliva production in cases of drug-induced oral dryness. The aim of the study (a sub-study to the previous trial investigating the pilocarpine fluid effects in individuals suffering from drug-induced dry mouth) was to search for saliva quality changes induced by the treatments.
A phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of pilocarpine for
vaginal dryness: North Central Cancer Treatment group study N04CA. [2011]
Vaginal dryness is a common problem for which effective and safe nonestrogenic
treatments are needed. Based on preliminary promising data that pilocarpine
attenuated vaginal dryness, the current trial was conducted... Toxicity evaluation revealed more nausea, sweating, rigors, and urinary frequency
with the pilocarpine arms compared with the placebo arm.
Comparison of the effects of pilocarpine and cevimeline on salivary flow. [2009.05]
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of low-dose pilocarpine and cevimeline as stimulants for salivary flow in healthy subjects... CONCLUSION: Both drugs showed efficacy in increasing the salivary flow in healthy volunteers, but cevimeline was more effective than pilocarpine.
Clinical Trials Related to Salagen (Pilocarpine)
A Study to Investigate the Effect of Oral Doses of Pilocarpine on Salivary Secretion and Static Pupillometry in Healthy Subjects [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamic effect of oral doses of
pilocarpine on salivary secretion in healthy male and female subjects. In addition,
pharmacodynamic effect on static pupillometry will be evaluated as well as pharmacokinetics
and safety and tolerability of oral doses of pilocarpine in healthy subjects.
A Comparison of Orally Pilocarpine and Artificial Saliva in Xerostomy Treatment [Completed]
Trial Comparing Oral Pilocarpine (Salagen) Versus Submandibular Salivary Gland Transfer Protocol, For the Prevention of Radiation (XRT) Induced Xerostomia in Head and Neck Cancer Patients [Completed]
This is a study to see whether the drug Salagen or salivary gland transfer is better for the
prevention of dryness of the mouth in patients with head and neck cancer receiving radiation
treatment.
Dose, Effects and Characteristics of Pilocarpine [Completed]
The purpose of this investigation, in which pilocarpine was given in repeated doses, was to
evaluate: Part I - the effects of different concentrations of pilocarpine hydrochloride on
intraocular pressure. Part II - the effects on intraocular pressure of glaucomatous patients
to pilocarpine 2% when given once, twice and four daily. In addition, we studied various
attributes of the eye which may serve as indicators of responsiveness of individual patients
to pilocarpine.
Effect of 0.1% Pilocarpine Mouthwash on Xerostomia [Completed]
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of 0. 1% pilocarpine mouthwash on subjective
dryness, minor salivary flow rates and unstimulated whole salivary flow rate in xerostomic
patients.
