Poms Medical Director Dorsey Laboratories Box 1113 Lincoln, Nebraska 68501 markay: initial dismsims in June, preliminary protocol for the Dorsey-£93 study. Following our we established a It was our purpose to measure the EEG changes induced by 1cm dosages of pyrcvalsmne, and to mare the with placebo for a prospective study the changes th those induced by mhetmins. Our initial trials were with 30 m and 60 mg pymvalerme. mess (bosses were selected as We related to the clinical state Whidl interested you and Imioh was similar to the studies published by Dr. Halliday. In View of the problem of behavioral control in our first study, we decided that the initial trials (hiring the smr would be varied with regard to the mum of behavioral control. For this purpose we selected a reaction time model. Four subjects were initially introduced to the study program it necessary to vary the behavioral pamtem, two of the subjects were exmed and await the definitive study itself. In two subjects we varied the behavioral pmters and foam of eminetim in numerous trials. but as we fund Initially, we studied the effects of a cmtinuous performance task with the auditory signal applied on e mndm basis thrmglmxt the four hom- ssssim. In later trials we mod the stimulus on a block basis and by the and of our experimental studies decided that the best control was provided by ten stimli presented every 12 minutes. The stimlus is a 1000 cps signal. undertook tumty studies during the two and one-half south sumsr period and of these , thirteen are satisfactory for our present initial analyses. ”these are equally divided between pymvalerone 30 mg, pymvslem 60 mg, inactive placebo and m active placebo We (papevwinediks contra. vasodilator). EEG were recorded. M lead oombimtims for 'Ihe EEG analyses were mcbr'taken principally for the occipital—frontal lead destinatim, but in four records , the bi-frmtel leads were also studied. �Dr. Pogge November 2, 1965 ~2~ lbs effects of the active placebo and inactive placebo were indistinguishable in the later behavioral controlled experiments . In the experimsnts earlier, when the stimulation was continuous , subjects failed to respond and developed drowsiness and in one instance fell asleep despite the stimlaticn. In the later exparimants , the periodic stimulation provided better behavioral control and the EEG variables did not show changes beyond one standard doviatim from the pre—traatmnt record. Both the 30 mg am: 60 mg pymvalemne dosages demonstrated changes in average fmquenoy whim was prominent during the first hwmdagainduringthethirdandfourthhomsofthe experiment. In each instance the average fmqumoy appeared to increase so that the records showed periods with mom than 1 1/2 standard deviations shift from the pre-tmatmt baseline. The observations were cleaner for 60 mg than for 30 mg doses. , The changes induced by pymvalem were smaller than those induced by bazbitmmtes on visual analysis, and the variability appeared to be water in these, two subjects. As a consequence, we feel the changes in fmquencies ad in average frequency mich may distinguish pyrovalcmne foam placebo will be observed only for the group data using the statistical techniques which were successful in the barbitm'sto study. For this masm, so are pre~ pared to undertake a full trial of pyrovalamne against placebo in volunteers , estimating that 12 subjects would be the initial population for malyses. The behavioral cmtrol in such a study should follow the experiences mien we had in tho latest experimts. of this review were sumarized in a protocol dated its modificatimwflmber 1. This protocol moompassas your momdations, cspeoially with regard to dietary control. A ”the results 10—21455, and copy is enclosed. ' ~ While the 60 mg pymvalerme would probably give a better discriminatim than placebo, we are preparing trials with the 30 mg dosage form to provide data which is comparable to that of Dr. Halliday. If this protocol (10-21-65) is satisfactory, we mold be pleased to undertake the definitive study. “thank you very and: for visiting our laboratories.
