About this study

Official title: A 12-week, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Parallel Group, Multicenter, Fixed Dose Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a 20 mg/d Oral Dose of KW-6002 (Istradefylline) as Treatment for Parkinson's Disease in Patients With Motor Response Complications on Levodopa/Carbidopa Therapy.

To establish the efficacy of a 20 mg/day dose 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 a 20 mg/d dose 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 to 1 ratio to either 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 as compared to placebo.

What is being measured

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

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

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. To evaluate the efficacy of a 20 mg/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) Motor Examination score (part III) and/or in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score (part II).

  4. To evaluate the change in Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) and Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36).

  5. To evaluate the change in the Patient Global Impression - Improvement scale (PGI-I).

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

  7. To evaluate the safety of a 20 mg/d dose of istradefylline.

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, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 7 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 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 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?

To establish the efficacy of a 20 mg/d dose of istradefylline for reducing the percentage of OFF time in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with levodopa/carbidopa.. 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.
