Noninterventional Study Evaluating Parkinson's Disease Diary Use

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the frequency of assessments on the variability over time, reliability, and compliance for the Parkinson's disease (PD) diary in patients with PD in whom medications do not provide adequate control of symptoms.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

- ≥ 39 to ≤ 70 years of age at signing of informed consent.

- Diagnosis of clinically established PD as defined by the Movement Disorder Society
(MDS) Clinical Diagnostic Criteria for PD.

- Marked levodopa responsiveness at screening per investigator's judgment (e.g., an
estimated ≥30% improvement of MDS-UPDRS Part III score in the off-medication versus
on-medication state).

- A minimum of 3 years and a maximum of 18 years from time of PD diagnosis to the date
of screening.

- Receiving optimized and stable PD medical therapy for ≥1 month prior to screening or
demonstrated intolerance to PD medications per investigator's judgment in agreement
with the medical monitor.

- ≥3 hours of average daily OFF-time assessed within 3 months of screening by PD diary
or per investigator's judgment.

- Hoehn and Yahr Stage of 1 to 3 while on PD medication assessed within 3 months of
screening or at screening.

- Normal cognition as determined by the investigator after review of relevant testing
(eg, Montreal Cognitive Assessment score of ≥ 26, or ≥ 22 if no significant cognitive
impairment as determined by neuropsychological testing).

Exclusion Criteria:

- PD with risk of recurrent falls or only tremor-based symptoms.

- Diagnosis of primary mitochondrial disorder, epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, or
clinical features suggestive of a neurodegenerative disease other than PD such as
Alzheimer's disease.

- Any available evidence inconsistent with dopamine deficiency (eg, 18F-DOPA positron
emission tomography [PET] or dopamine transporter single-photon emission computed
tomography [DAT-SPECT] imaging if performed).

- Moderately severe dyskinesia per investigator's judgment.

- Receiving dopamine receptor-blocking agents, including typical neuroleptics,
prochlorperazine, and metoclopramide at the time of screening or within 3 months prior
to screening.

- Treatment with intrajejunal or subcutaneous infusion therapies for PD within 2 months
of screening.

- History of PD therapy with deep brain stimulation, lesion therapy, gene therapy, or
cell therapy.

- Prior surgical or radiation therapy to the brain or spinal cord.

- Receipt of another investigational therapy or device within 2 years of screening
unless approved by the medical monitor.
