About this study

Official title: Placebo-Controlled , Double-Blind , Exploratory Study of KW-6002(Istradefylline) in the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease. [Adjunctive Therapy to Levodopa]

To establish the efficacy of 20 mg/day and 40 mg/day doses of istradefylline for reducing the percentage of OFF time in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with levodopa.

Read the detailed description

To establish the efficacy of 20 mg/d and 40mg/d doses of istradefylline for reducing the percentage of OFF time in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with levodopa. Patients who meet entry criteria will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to double blind treatment with oral doses of 20 or 40mg/d istradefylline or matching placebo. Patients will be treated for 12 weeks and will have interim visits and end of treatment visit to assess the efficacy and safety of istradefylline.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To establish the efficacy of 20 mg/d and 40mg/d doses of istradefylline for reducing the percentage of OFF time in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with levodopa/DCI.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. To evaluate the efficacy of 20 mg/d and 40mg/d dose of istradefylline for reducing the total hours of OFF time.

  2. To evaluate the change in percentage of ON time (without dyskinesia, with dyskinesia, with non-troublesome dyskinesia, and with troublesome dyskinesia).

  3. To evaluate the change in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS).

  4. To evaluate change in the Clinical Global Impression - Improvement scale (CGI-I).

  5. To evaluate change in the Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness scale (CGI-S).

  6. To evaluate the safety of 20 mg/d and 40mg/d doses of istradefylline.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Istradefylline (KW-6002) in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2014. 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 Japan. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To establish the efficacy of 20 mg/d and 40mg/d doses of istradefylline for reducing the percentage of OFF time in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with levodopa/DCI.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 May 2014.
