About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Two-arm, Parallel-group, Sleep Lab Trial to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Transdermal Rotigotine in Subjects With Idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome

The objective of this trial is to demonstrate that rotigotine (SPM 936) is effective in subjects with idiopathic RLS based on the PLMI (Periodic Limb Movements Index)(PLMs/total time in bed) as measured by polysomnography (PSG). The primary variable is the reduction of PLMI at the end of the Maintenance Period compared to Baseline. PLMI data will be obtained from PSGs.

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 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 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 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?

Efficacy is assessed by reduction of Periodic Limb Movement Index, which will be obtained from polysomnographic measurements.. 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 NCT00275236, 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.
