About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Crossover Study Comparing the Safety and Tolerability of Two Dose Regimens of Oromucosal Fipamezole ODT in Adult Patients With Parkinson's Disease Who Are Receiving Levodopa
The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the safety and tolerability of two dose regimens of fipamezole in adult patients with Parkinson's Disease who are receiving levodopa.
Read the detailed description
Parkinson's Disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. While treatment with dopaminergic agents like levodopa, the mainstay of treatment, is effective in the early phases of the disease, their benefits decrease with disease progression, and problems such as dyskinesia and on-off phenomenon begin to manifest. This study investigates the safety and tolerability of fipamezole at two dose levels in patients with Parkinson's Disease.
The sampling method used was simple random sampling.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Fipamezole ODTDrug
Subjects will receive fipamezole ODT 15 mg three times daily for 1 week followed by fipamezole ODT 30 mg three times daily for 1 week, followed by a 2-week washout period. Beginning at Visit 5, subjects will receive fipamezole ODT 30 mg three times daily for 2 weeks.
Fipamezole ODT Cohort 2Drug
Subjects will receive fipamezole ODT 30 mg three times daily for 2 weeks, followed by a 2-week washout period. Beginning at Visit 5, subjects will receive fipamezole ODT 15 mg three times daily for 1 week followed by fipamezole ODT 30 mg three times daily for 1 week.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To compare the safety and tolerability of two dose regimens of fipamezole orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) in adult patients with Parkinson's Disease who are receiving levodopa
Safety will be evaluated by assessing adverse events (AEs), vital signs (supine and orthostatic systolic and diastolic blood pressure, radial pulse rate), 12-lead ECG, blood and urine laboratory panels, and physical examination. Signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease will be assessed using Hoehn and Yahr scale during the 'on' state.
Measured: Days -14 to 49
