What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Modified Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (mAIMS)score

    Dyskinesia with a maximal score of 24.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 28

  2. Change in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) - Part III score

    Anti-parkinsonian effect in PD patients.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 28

  3. Safety and tolerability

    Safety and tolerability of AQW051 as measured by the number of participants with adverse events, any clinically significant abnormalities in safety labs or electrocardiograms (ECGs), and relevant orthostatic changes in blood pressure

    Measured: Up to Day 42

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Lang-Fahn Activities of Daily Living Dyskinesia Scale (LFADLDS)

    Assesses the degree to which dyskinesia interferes with five activities of daily living, with a higher score indicating more severe impairment.

    Measured: Up to Day 42

  2. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) - Part IV, #32-33

    Dyskinesias as a percentage of the day, and disability due to dyskinesia during the previous week.

    Measured: Up to Day 42

  3. Track-PD

    Objective measures of motor function.

    Measured: Up to Day 42

  4. CogState

    Cognitive function, including simple and choice reaction time, episodic visual and verbal memory, working memory, planning and strategy, and executive function.

    Measured: Up to Day 28

  5. Area under the curve (AUC[0-24hr]) of AQW051

    Measured: Day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AQW051 in people with Dyskinesias and Drug-induced, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 24 sites in 4 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 4 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 24 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in France, Germany, United States, Italy. 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 in Modified Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (mAIMS)score (time frame: Baseline, Day 28). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01474421, 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 24 Dec 2020.
