About this study

Official title: Placebo-Controlled , Crossover , Double-Blind Study of KW-6002(Istradefylline) in the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease. [Monotherapy]

To establish the efficacy of 40 mg/day doses of istradefylline for the change in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part-III (Motor examination) score in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Read the detailed description

To establish the efficacy of 40mg/d doses of istradefylline for the change in UPDRS part-III (Motor examination) score in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Patients who meet entry criteria will be randomly assigned to receive study drug in 1 of 2 arms: Condition A (doses of 40mg/d istradefylline) in Period 1 followed by Condition B (matching placebo) in Period 2 (putting 4 weeks interval phase between two periods ) or Condition B in Period 1 followed by Condition A in Period 2(putting 4 weeks interval phase between two periods ). Patients will be participated for 12 weeks and will have interim visits and end of treatment visit to assess the efficacy and safety of istradefylline.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

What does the primary outcome measure?

To establish the efficacy of 40mg/d doses of istradefylline for the change in UPDRS part-III (Motor examination) score in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).. 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.
