Who may be able to join

  • Patients selected for this study will be at least 30 years of age and will have been diagnosed with advanced Parkinson's disease as determined by UK Parkinson's Disease Society (UKPDS) criteria and the Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale. The patients will have been receiving levodopa treatment for at least one year, may be taking other antiparkinsonian drugs, will have an average of at least three hours OFF time as recorded in two 24-hour ON/OFF diaries, and if female, must be non-pregnant and non-nursing.

About this study

Official title: A 16-week, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomised, Parallel-Group, Multicentre, International Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of 40 mg/Day KW-6002 (Istradefylline) and That of Entacapone Versus Placebo as Treatment for Parkinson's Disease in Patients With Motor Response Complications on Levodopa Therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 40 mg a day of istradefylline (KW-6002) for reducing the percentage of awake time spent in the OFF state in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease treated with levodopa.

Read the detailed description

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive motor disease characterized by bradykinesia or akinesia, rigidity, and resting tremor. Levodopa is still the most widely used treatment for PD, but as the disease progresses the drug tends to become less helpful. This is because of the development of motor response complications such as end-of-dose deterioration or wearing-off, peak dose dyskinesias, and ON-OFF phenomenon.

Comparison(s): The safety of 40 mg/d istradefylline and the efficacy for reducing the percentage of OFF time in patients with advanced PD treated with levodopa will be compared to placebo. The safety and efficacy of Entacapone will also be compared to placebo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Istradefylline (KW-6002) in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 25 Apr 2024. 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 Kingdom. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

OFF time assessed by patient diaries at endpoint.. 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 25 Apr 2024.
