Trial summary

The study population will include 100 parkinsonian patients in early stage of disease, with total duration not exeeding 5 years. The patients will undergo neurologic examination and evaluation of disease severity using the unified PD rating scale. Subsequently a brain SPECT will be performed using Tc-99m-Trodat1.

About this study

Official title: Association of Polymorphism in Genes Associated With Control of Dopamine Levels in Parkinson's Disease and Tc-99m-Trodat-1 SPECT Imaging.

The study population will include 100 parkinsonian patients in early stage of disease, with total duration not exeeding 5 years.

The patients will undergo neurologic examination and evaluation of disease severity using the unified PD rating scale. Subsequently a brain SPECT will be performed using Tc-99m-Trodat1.

Read the detailed description

The study sample will include 100 Israeli Jewish patients with early idiopathic PD who were not treated with anti-parkinson drugs. The clinical diagnosis will be based on the criteria of the United Kingdom Parkinson Disease Society Brain Bank.5 All patients will undergo Tc-99m-Trodat1 SPECT. The severity of the motor symptoms will be assessed with the Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS). Genomic DNA is extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes for genetic analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease severity versus genetic polymorphism

    Correlation of disease severity with polymorphism and with striatal affinity to the DAT ligand.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Severity of PD compared to specific striatal DAT activity as measures by Tc-99m Trodat SPECT.

    For each striatal ROI, mean counts will be measured, and specific TRODAT uptake will be calculated, according to the following formula: Specific TRODAT uptake = (mean activity in ROI - mean Activity in occipital cortex) / mean Activity in occipital cortex).

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Wolfson Medical Center at 2 sites in Israel.

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 1 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 9 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Israel. 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.

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?

Disease severity versus genetic polymorphism (time frame: 1 year). 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 9 Feb 2016.
