Movement DisordersPhase 2NCT00001929
Treatment of Parkinson's Disease With Eliprodil
A Phase 2 study testing Eliprodil in people with Movement Disorders and Parkinson Disease, run by National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Patients with Parkinson's disease are missing the chemical neurotransmitter dopamine. This occurs as a result of destructive changes in an area of the brain responsible for making dopamine, the basal ganglia. Patients with the disease experience, rigid muscles, stooped posture, and a shuffling-type walk (gait). Read more about this study

All patients will carry a diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's Disease based on the presence of a characteristic clinical history and neurologic findings. Most will have relatively advanced disease with associated motor response complications.
Males and females between the ages of 18-75.
No presence or history of any medical condition that can reasonably be expected to subject the patient to unwarranted risk.
No patients with baseline QTc prolongation (greater than 440 msec).

About this study
Official title: NMDA-Receptor Blockade With Eliprodil in Parkinson's Disease
Patients with Parkinson's disease are missing the chemical neurotransmitter dopamine. This occurs as a result of destructive changes in an area of the brain responsible for making dopamine, the basal ganglia. Patients with the disease experience, rigid muscles, stooped posture, and a shuffling-type walk (gait).
In this study researchers plan to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug eliprodil for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. Eliprodil works by blocking special receptors (NMDA) that are associated with the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease.
Read the detailed description
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the acute effects of the NR2B subtype-selective NMDA antagonist eliprodil on levodopa-associated motor response complications in patients with advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Eliprodil in people with Movement Disorders and Parkinson Disease, run by National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00001929, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Mar 2008.
