About this study

Official title: A Phase 3b, Open-Label, Multicenter, Multinational Trial to Evaluate the Effects of Rotigotine Transdermal Patch on Early Morning Motor Impairment and Sleep Disorders in Patients With Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease

The objective of this trial is to assess the effect of rotigotine (SPM 962) on the control of early morning motor impairment and sleep disorders in subjects with idiopathic PD.

Subjects who meet eligibility criteria will begin treatment with rotigotine transdermal patches. Trial medication will be titrated to an optimal daily dose, or to the maximal dose. Following a Titration period of up to 8 weeks, subjects will be maintained on the optimal or maximal dose for 4 weeks. After the Maintenance period, subjects will have the option to enter into an open-label extension study.

The first subject was enrolled in December 2004. The last subject was enrolled in April 2005 and the last subject visit was conducted in July 2005. This study is now closed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Rotigotine in people with IDIOPATHIC PARKINSON'S DISEASE, run by UCB Pharma at 1 site in Germany.

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 23 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 Sep 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 Germany. 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?

Motor performance; Sleep disorders; Clinical Global Impression; Patient Global Impression; Safety & Tolerability. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00243945, 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 25 Sep 2014.
