What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline to endpoint in the modified AIMS (Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale) total score

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Disability due to dyskinesias as measured by change from baseline to endpoint in the PDYS-26 (26-Item Parkinson Disease Dyskinesia Scale) total score

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Change from baseline on patient's dyskinesia, disability caused by the dyskinesia and the underlying symptoms of PD as assessed by a clinician-rated (CGIC) and a patient-rated (PGIC) global impression of change

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Anti-dyskinetic efficacy as measured by items 32 and 33 of Part IV of the UPDRS (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale)

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Worsening of underlying symptoms of PD as measured by: UPDRS Part III; patient diary (dyskinesias); patient/clinician assessments of change in PD symptoms; AEs related to worsening of PD

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AFQ056 in people with Parkinson Disease and Dyskinesias, run by Novartis at 47 sites in 8 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 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 23 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 47 sites in Germany, Canada, Japan, Australia, Finland and 3 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. 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?

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?

Change from baseline to endpoint in the modified AIMS (Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale) total score (time frame: 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 NCT00986414, 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 23 Feb 2017.
