About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, 12-Week, Double-Blind, Dose-Finding, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of a Range of SCH 420814 Doses in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Parkinson's Disease Experiencing Motor Fluctuations and Dyskinesias

The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of a range of doses of SCH 420814 (preladenant) when used together with a stable dose of L-dopa/dopa decarboxylase inhibitor to treat Parkinson's disease. In this study, we will be comparing 3 doses (1 mg, 2 mg, and 5 mg taken twice a day) of preladenant with placebo (sugar pill). Following an Interim Analysis (temporary hold for new enrollment-ongoing subjects will continue on treatment) to review drug safety, a new dose group of 10 mg (taken twice a day) may be added.

Approximately 160 participants will be randomized in this study in approximately 22 study centers worldwide for the first part of this study. Following the Interim Analysis, 40 new participants may be added, for a total of 200 participants. The study is double blind, which means neither you nor your study doctor will know whether you are receiving the study medication or placebo.

Being tested
Preladenant, Placebo, L-dopa, Other Parkinson's Disease treatments
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline to Endpoint of 12 Weeks in the 3-day Average of Awake Time Per Day Spent in the "Off" State

    "Off" time refers to periods of inadequate control of Parkinson disease symptoms (worsening or presence of symptoms). For baseline and the 12 weeks treatment period, hours spent in the "off" state during awake time were recorded in half-hour time intervals using a daily diary at least 3 full days before scheduled visits. For baseline, the 24-hour average over 3 consecutive days was derived for Week -1. For endpoint, the 24-hour average was derived for the last available 3 consecutive days with postbaseline data available during the treatment period. Change from baseline in least squares (LS) means and pooled standard deviation (SD) were obtained from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with effect for treatment and baseline covariate. A negative change from baseline signifies less time spent in the "off" state.

    Measured: Baseline (Week -1) and up to 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. Change From Baseline in Awake Time Per Day Spent in the "Off" State at Each Visit

    "Off" time refers to periods of inadequate control of Parkinson disease symptoms (worsening or presence of symptoms). Hours spent in the "off" state during awake time were recorded in half-hour time intervals using a daily diary at least 3 full days before scheduled visits. For baseline, the 24-hour average over 3 consecutive days was derived for Week -1. For treatment period visits, the 24-hour average was derived for the final 3 consecutive days with data available for the particular visit. Change from baseline in LS means and pooled SD were obtained from an ANCOVA model with treatment effect and baseline covariate. A negative change from baseline signifies less time spent in the "off" state.

    Measured: Baseline (Week -1) and Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

  2. Change From Baseline in Awake Time Per Day Spent in the "on" State

    "On" time refers to periods of adequate control of Parkinson disease symptoms (symptoms better or absent). Hours spent in the "on" state during awake time were recorded in half-hour time intervals using a daily diary at least 3 full days before scheduled visits. For baseline, the 24-hour average over 3 consecutive days was derived for Week -1. For endpoint, the 24-hour average was derived for the last available 3 consecutive days with postbaseline data available during the treatment period. For treatment period visits, the 24-hour average was derived for the final 3 consecutive days with data available for the particular visit. Change from baseline in LS means and pooled SD were obtained from an ANCOVA model with effect for treatment and baseline covariate. A positive (+) change from baseline signifies more time spent in the "on" state.

    Measured: Baseline (Week -1) and Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

  3. Change From Baseline in Awake Time Per Day Spent in the "on" State (no Dyskinesias)

    "On" time refers to periods of adequate control of Parkinson disease symptoms (better/absent). Dyskinesias refers to maintenance therapy (e.g., L-dopa) side effects of chorea, dystonia, or in combination. Hours spent in the "on" state with no dyskinesias during awake time were recorded in half-hour time intervals using a daily diary at least 3 full days before scheduled visits. For baseline, the 24-hour average over 3 consecutive days was derived for Week -1. For endpoint, the 24-hour average was derived for the last available 3 consecutive days with postbaseline data available during the treatment period. For treatment period visits, the 24-hour average was derived for the final 3 consecutive days with data available for the particular visit. Change from baseline in LS means \& pooled SD were obtained from an ANCOVA model with effect for treatment \& baseline covariate. A (+) change from baseline signifies more time spent in the "on" state (no dyskinesias).

    Measured: Baseline (Week -1) and Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

  4. Change From Baseline in Awake Time Per Day Spent in the "on" State (With Troublesome Dyskinesias)

    "On" time refers to periods of adequate control of Parkinson disease symptoms (better/absent). Troublesome dyskinesias refers to maintenance therapy side effects of chorea, dystonia, or in combination that impair function. Hours spent in the "on" state with troublesome dyskinesias during awake time were recorded in half-hour time intervals using a daily diary at least 3 full days before scheduled visits. For baseline, the 24-hour average over 3 consecutive days was derived for Week -1. For endpoint, the 24-hour average was derived for the last available 3 consecutive days with postbaseline data available during the treatment period. For treatment period visits, the 24-hour average was derived for the final 3 consecutive days with data available for the particular visit. Change from baseline in LS means \& pooled SD were obtained using ANCOVA with treatment effect \& baseline covariate. A (+) change from baseline signifies more time spent in the "on" state (troublesome dyskinesias).

    Measured: Baseline (Week -1) and Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

  5. Change From Baseline in Awake Time Per Day Spent in the "on" State (Without Troublesome Dyskinesias)

    "On" time refers to periods of adequate control of Parkinson disease symptoms (better/absent). Troublesome dyskinesias refers to maint. therapy side effects of chorea, dystonia, or in combination that impair function. Hours spent in the "on" state without troubles. dyskinesias during awake time were recorded in half-hour time intervals using a daily diary at least 3 full days before scheduled visits. For baseline, the 24-hour average over 3 consecutive days was derived for Week -1. For endpoint, the 24-hour average was derived for the last available 3 consecutive days with postbaseline data available during the treatment period. For treatment period visits, the 24-hour average was derived for the final 3 consecutive days with data available for the particular visit. Change from baseline in LS means \& pooled SD were obtained using ANCOVA with treatment effect \& baseline covariate. A (+) change from baseline signifies more time spent in the "on" state (without troubles. dyskinesias).

    Measured: Baseline (Week -1) and Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

  6. Change From Baseline in Absolute Duration of Dyskinesias

    Dyskinesias refers to maintenance therapy side effects of chorea, dystonia, or in combination (that occur in the ON time). Hours spent with dyskinesias (troublesome and not troublesome) were recorded in half-hour time intervals using a daily diary at least 3 full days before scheduled visits. For baseline, the 24-hour average over 3 consecutive days was derived for Week -1. For endpoint, the 24-hour average was derived for the last available 3 consecutive days with postbaseline data available during the treatment period. For treatment period visits, the 24-hour average was derived for the final 3 consecutive days with data available for the particular visit. Change from baseline in LS means \& pooled SD were obtained using ANCOVA with treatment effect \& baseline covariate. A negative change from baseline signifies less time spent with dyskinesia.

  7. Change From Baseline in Total Sleep Time

    Hours spent in the sleep state were recorded using a daily diary at least 3 full days before scheduled visit. For baseline, the 24-hour average over 3 consecutive days was derived for Week -1. For endpoint, the 24-hour average was derived for the last available 3 consecutive days with postbaseline data available during the treatment period. For treatment period visits, the 24-hour average was derived for the final 3 consecutive days with data available for the particular visit. Change from baseline in LS means \& pooled SD were obtained using ANCOVA with treatment effect \& baseline covariate. A positive change from baseline means more time asleep and a negative change means less time asleep.

    Measured: Baseline (Week -1) and Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

  8. Change From Baseline in Frequency of Sleep Attacks at Week 2

    Sleep attacks are uncontrollable episodes of sleep that occur during the daytime lasting a few seconds to several minutes. A questionnaire to determine sleep attacks over the prior 2 week period was administered at baseline and at 2-week intervals during the treatment period. Frequency of sleep attacks over the two-week treatment period intervals were tabulated in relation to the baseline assessment. Results are presented as participants showing the respective change in frequency of sleep attacks at baseline to the week of assessment (Week 2) (as reported by the participant). For example, someone who had >2 sleep attacks at BL who had a decrease of 1-2 by Week 2 would be reported as BL >2 to WK2 1-2. BL = baseline. WK = week.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Preladenant, L-dopa and Other Parkinson's Disease treatments in people with Parkinson Disease and Movement Disorders, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 9 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Feb 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline to Endpoint of 12 Weeks in the 3-day Average of Awake Time Per Day Spent in the "Off" State (time frame: Baseline (Week -1) and up to 12 weeks). 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 NCT00406029, 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 9 Nov 2018.
