What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With at Least One Adverse Event During This Open-label Extension Study

    Adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences in a subject administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to treatment.

    Measured: five years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Subjects Who Withdrew From the Trial Due to an Adverse Event

    Adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences in a subject administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to treatment.

    Measured: five years

  2. Mean Epworth Sleepiness Scale Score During the Open-label Extension

    The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a self-administered questionnaire with 8 questions. The total ESS score is the sum of 8 item-scores and can range between 0 and 24. The higher the score, the higher the person's level of daytime sleepiness.

    Measured: Visit 13 (end of year 1), Visit 17 (end of year 2), Visit 21 (end of year 3), Visit 25(end of year 4)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Rotigotine in people with Advanced Stage Parkinson's Disease, run by UCB Pharma at 53 sites in 17 countries.

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 2 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 53 sites in Italy, Poland, Australia, Czechia, Norway and 12 more countries. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jan 2010). 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?

Number of Subjects With at Least One Adverse Event During This Open-label Extension Study (time frame: five years). 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 2 Oct 2014.
