About this study

Official title: A Multi-centre, Multi-national, Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Double-dummy, 3- Arm Parallel Group, Placebo- and Pramipexole- Controlled Trial of the Efficacy and Safety of Rotigotine Patch in Subjects With Advanced Stage, Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease Who Are Not Well Controlled on Levodopa

Male and female patients aged ≥ 30 years with advanced stage idiopathic Parkinson's disease, not well controlled on existing levodopa will take part in a research study at approximately 82 sites in Europe, Israel, South Africa, Australia and new Zealand.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of the rotigotine patch (SPM 962) at an individual patient's optimal dose for a period of 4 months

Read more

Each patient who qualifies and chooses to participate in the study will receive either rotigotine, pramipexole, or placebo at gradually increasing doses over a period of up to 7 weeks, and then maintain their optimal dose for 4 months.

The study clinic visits will include a medical history and physical exam, ECG, blood and urine sample collection, completion of various questionnaires, and completion of a diary to record the severity of their Parkinson's symptoms.

Patients who complete the study may enroll in an extension trial and receive active study drug.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing SPM 962 in people with Parkinson Disease, Idiopathic, 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 1 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00244387, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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.
