What is being measured

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

  1. Unified Parkinson's Disease (PD) Rating Scale (UPDRS) Total Activities of Daily Living Scores (Intent-to-Treat Population)

    The UPDRS is a clinician-based scale used to assess the longitudinal course of PD. Two of the six sections were assessed (Part II, Activities of Daily Living (ADL); Part III, Motor Examination). Both consist of a number of items (ADL, 13 items; Motor Exam., 17 items), and each item has a choice of 5 responses that are numerically scored 0-4, with 0 as the least severe response and 4 as the most severe response. ADL final score is a sum of the 13 items and may have a value between 0 (no impairment of overall activities) and 52 (severe impairment of overall activities). LTT, long-term treatment.

    Measured: Screening; Week 4; Months 3, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33, 39, 45, 51, 57, 63, 69, 75, and 78

  2. Number of Participants With the Indicated Number of Adverse Events (AEs)

    AEs, defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, were collected to obtain data on the safety, tolerability, and benefit of ropinirole XL. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), defined as AEs that are either fatal, life threatening, disabling/incapacitating, resulting in hospitalization or prolongation of a hospital stay, a congenital abnormality/birth defect, or any important medical occurrence that the investigator regards as serious based on medical judgment, were also collected. st. med., study medication.

    Measured: Every study visit from baseline to market availability (Month 78)

    Measured: Screening; Months 3, 9, 15, 27, and 78

  2. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Total Activities of Daily Living Scores (Maintained Responder Population)

    The UPDRS is a clinician-based scale used to assess the longitudinal course of PD. Two of the six sections were assessed (Part II, Activities of Daily Living (ADL); Part III, Motor Examination). Both consist of a number of items (ADL, 13 items; Motor Exam., 17 items), and each item has a choice of 5 responses that are numerically scored 0-4, with 0 as the least severe response and 4 as the most severe response. ADL final score is a sum of the 13 items and may have a value between 0 (no impairment of overall activities) and 52 (severe impairment of overall activities). LTT, long-term treatment.

  3. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Motor Examination Score (ITT Population)

    Two of the six UPDRS sections (Part II, Activities of Daily Living (ADL); Part III, Motor Examination) were assessed in this study. The Motor Exam has 17 items, some of which are assessed in both the left and right extremities. Each item has a choice of 5 responses that are numerically scored 0-4 (0 as the least severe, 4 as the most severe). The final score is a sum of the 17 items, with some sections requiring multiple grades assigned to each extremity, and has a value ranging from 0 (no motor impairment) to 108 (severe motor impairment).

    Measured: Screening and Month 78

  4. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Motor Examination Score (Reponder Population)

    Measured: Screening and Month 78

  5. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Motor Examination Score (Maintained Responder Population)

    Two of the six UPDRS sections (Part II, Activities of Daily Living (ADL); Part III, Motor Examination) were assessed in this study. The Motor Exam has 17 items, some of which are assessed in both the left and right extremities. Each item has a choice of 5 responses that are numerically scored 0-4 (0 as the least severe, 4 as the most severe). The final score is a sum of the 17 items, with some sections requiring multiple grades assigned to each extremity, and has a value ranging from 0 (no motor impairment) to 108 (severe motor impairment).

    Measured: Screening and Month 78

  6. Number of Participants With the Indicated Responses for CGI Global Impression (CGI-I) (ITT Population)

    The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale comprises the following three components (CGI-Severity, CGI-Improvement, Index); where only the CGI-S and CGI-I were assessed in this study. CGI-I is a global improvement scale that scores the clinician's view of the participant's global functioning prior to and after initiating a study medication from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). 2, much improved; 3, minimally improved; 4, no change; 5, minimally worse; 6, much worse.

    Measured: Week 2, Month 12, Month 78

  7. Number of Participants With the Indicated Responses for CGI Global Impression (CGI-I) (Responder Population)

    The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale comprises the following three components (CGI-Severity, CGI-Improvement, Index); where only the CGI-S and CGI-I were assessed in this study. CGI-I is a global improvement scale that scores the clinician's view of the participant's global functioning prior to and after initiating a study medication from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). 2, much improved; 3, minimally improved; 4, no change; 5, minimally worse; 6, much worse.

    Measured: Week 2, Month 12, Month 78

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ropinirole XL (formerly CR) in people with Parkinson Disease, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 10 sites 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 6 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Apr 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?

Unified Parkinson's Disease (PD) Rating Scale (UPDRS) Total Activities of Daily Living Scores (Intent-to-Treat Population) (time frame: Screening; Week 4; Months 3, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33, 39, 45, 51, 57, 63, 69, 75, and 78). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00650104, 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 6 May 2013.
