About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Multiple Dose-ascending, Placebo-controlled Study in Healthy Volunteers and Parkinson's Disease Patients to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and PK of Daily Oral Administration of Cogane™ Over One Month

Phytopharm plc is developing Cogane™ which is a new medicine for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). The purpose of the study is to find out if Cogane is safe and well tolerated in both healthy volunteers and Parkinson's disease patients and to determine if there is a difference in the way that the body deals with Cogane (pharmacokinetics) between these two groups.

It is expected that the study will prove that Cogane™ is safe and well tolerated and will provide us with a pharmacokinetic profile for both subject groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cogane™ (PYM50028) in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Phytopharm at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 21 Aug 2009. 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 Kingdom. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

To investigate the safety and tolerability of Cogane™ oral solution (time frame: Throughout 28 day dosing period). 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 21 Aug 2009.
