About this study

Official title: Etude Observationnelle Des Valvulopathies Chez Les Patients Parkinsoniens Traites Par Pergolide Par Rapport a Une Population Temoin

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with Parkinson's disease and treated with pergolide have a higher risk of heart valve disease compared to patients with Parkinson's disease not treated with pergolide.

Read the detailed description

Pergolide is an ergot dopamine receptor agonist with demonstrated efficacy in Parkinson's disease. Last year, two studies showed that pergolide can induce unexpected heart valve disease potentially severe and frequent. The late discovery of this unknown side effect had dramatic consequences in Parkinson's disease management and the French drug agency (AFFSAPS) has recently published guidelines for its prescription. Little is known about the prevalence and the molecular mechanisms leading to this adverse event. To determine the prevalence, evolution, and potential risk factors of pergolide-induced heart valve disease, we propose an echocardiographic observational study in parkinsonian patients taking pergolide compared to matched controls. This clinical study will be performed in the Clinical Investigation Centre in collaboration with the Institute of Cardiology of the Salpétrière Hospital

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease and Pergolide, run by Société Française de Cardiologie at 1 site in France.

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 4 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 6 Dec 2011. 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 France. 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.

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 NCT00202657, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Dec 2011.
