About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Extension Trial to Investigate the Safety and Tolerability of Long-Term Treatment With Transdermal Rotigotine in Subjects With Idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome

This is a multicenter, open-label trial to assess safety and tolerability of rotigotine (SPM 936) in subjects with idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), administered at an optimal dose for up to 1 year. Subjects who successfully completed the Maintenance Period and the Taper Period of SP792 are allowed to enroll in this trial.

All subjects will begin the Titration Period at a daily dosage of 1.125mg rotigotine (2.5cm2 patch). Subjects will be up-titrated at 7-day intervals in 1.125mg (2.5cm2 increments, initial titration step only) and 2.25mg intervals (5cm2) increments to a maximum dose of 6.75mg/day (15cm2) rotigotine. The maximum length of titration is 28 days (±3 days), although not all subjects will require 28 days to reach their optimal dose.

A subject's dose may be increased or decreased, as needed by the investigator to maintain a subject's effective dose during the Maintenance Period. A Taper Period is provided to allow for safe, gradual withdrawal from trial medication

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability will be assessed by adverse events, changes in laboratory tests, changes in vital signs, physical and neurological examination, changes in menstrual and sexual function, global subject rating

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To obtain data on changes in severity in RLS symptoms and quality of life over a one year maintenance period.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Rotigotine in people with Restless Legs Syndrome, run by UCB Pharma 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 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?

Safety and tolerability will be assessed by adverse events, changes in laboratory tests, changes in vital signs, physical and neurological examination, changes in menstrual and sexual function, global subject rating (time frame: 1 year). 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 Sep 2014.
