About this study

Official title: A CLINICAL EVALUATION OF A RECHARGEABLE DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION SYSTEM AS AN ADJUNCTIVE TREATMENT FOR REDUCING SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS OF ADVANCED, LEVODOPA-RESPONSIVE PARKINSON'S DISEASE THAT ARE NOT ADEQUATELY CONTROLLED WITH MEDICATION

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a rechargeable Deep Brain Stimulation as an adjunctive treatment for reducing some of the symptoms of advanced, levodopa-responsive Parkinson's disease that are not adequately controlled with medication.

This is the first observational study for the use of the BRIO™ rechargeable constant current device, using a lead with an active electrode tip for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson subjects. The current study was designed to conform to normal medical practices, taking into consideration the current day economic constraints, while assessing the best set of circumstances for the successful sustained reduction of some of the symptoms of advanced, levodopa-responsive Parkinson's disease that are not adequately controlled with medication.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as a prospective, observational, non-randomized, multi-centered study for a total of 10 years in duration. It is a 10 year study from system implantation and activation with a yearly database lock and report, with the subjects being used as their own control. The primary outcome assessment will occur at three months. Following completion of the primary outcome assessment, patients will have an annual visit up to 10 years post implant.

Comparison of measures within the same person from pre-treatment to post-treatment will be performed.

During the implantation procedure, each subject will undergo a trial of stimulation in the operating room among other potential assessments to determine proper lead placement. The device may be internalized after a successful intra-operative trial or at a later date according to investigator site practice. The date that all components are implanted and programmed will be classified as "Day 0". After system activation the subject will return to clinic for post-operative evaluations at 1 month (+/-14 days), 3 months (+/-14 days), 6 months (+/-14 days) and 12 months (+/-30 days). Thereafter, a long term data collection program will be followed for 10 years post-implant.

Brio DBS SystemEligible subjects in this study will be screened to confirm that they meet the strict guidelines for advanced, levodopa-responsive Parkinson's disease that are not adequately controlled with medication followed by bilateral surgery to implant the Brio™ deep brain stimulation system

What is being measured

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

  1. UPDRS motor scores

    Comparison of Parkinson's symptoms as demonstrated by the UPDRS motor scores in the medication 'Off' state at Baseline compared to the medication 'Off' with stimulation "On" 3 months after device implantation

    Measured: 3 months after device implantation

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. PDQ-8

    Quality of Life measurements through 3, 6 and 12 months as measured by the PDQ-8 compared to baseline

    Measured: 3, 6 and 12 months compared to baseline

  2. modified Schwab and England

    Activities of Daily Living measurement through 3, 6 and 12 months as determined from the modified Schwab and England, compared to baseline

    Measured: 3, 6 and 12 months compared to baseline

  3. Levodopa dose

    Comparison of Levodopa dose taken by the subject at baseline and 3, 6 and 12 month after device implantation

    Measured: baseline and 3, 6 and 12 month after device implantation

  4. Satisfaction of therapy

    Rate of subject and caregivers therapy satisfaction through 3, 6 and 12 months

    Measured: 3, 6 and 12 months

  5. IPG Recharging information

    Evaluation of the subjects/caregivers IPG Recharging information

    Measured: 3 and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Abbott Medical Devices.

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 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

UPDRS motor scores (time frame: 3 months after device implantation). 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 4 Feb 2019.
