About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Effect of Treatment Pathways, Adherence, and Treatment Efficacy in Parkinson's Disease Subjects Randomized to SPECT Imaging of the Dopamine Transporter (Ioflupane I123 Injection)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of imaging the brain as a diagnostic tool in the management of early Parkinson's disease (PD).

Read the detailed description

The imaging drug used in this study is Ioflupane (123I) Injection, also referred to as DaTscan. DaTscan is FDA approved.

Being tested
Group A - Early Imaging, Group B - Delayed Imaging
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Group A - Early ImagingRadiation

    Also called [123I]-FP-CIT SPECT

    Total of 3 scans

  • Group B - Delayed ImagingRadiation

    Also called [123I]-FP-CIT SPECT

    Total of 2 scans

Study groups in NCT01788696
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group A - Early ImagingActive comparatorGroup A will receive SPECT imaging 3 times during the study. The first scan will take place prior to the initiation of any treatment, followed by scans at week 26 and week 52.
Receives: Radiation: Group A - Early Imaging
Group B - Delayed ImagingActive comparatorGroup B will receive SPECT imaging 2 times during the study. Group B will not have the first scan (prior to the initiation of any treatment). Scan will take place at week 26 and week 52.
Receives: Radiation: Group B - Delayed Imaging

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient adherence to treatment plan

    Patient and treating physician agree on a treatment plan at visit 3. Patient adherence to medications will be evaluated based on pill count at each follow-up study visit. Additionally, each patient will record their adherence to therapy on the Patient Expectations and Disease-related Questionnaire (PEDQ) at each follow-up study visit, allowing the study team to track compliance with pharmacologic therapy as well as treatments including therapy exercise plans.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)

    Other outcome measures will be between any group differences in UPDRS.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Life Orientation Test - Revised (LOT-R)

    Other outcome measures will be between any group differences in LOT-R. This test assesses individual differences in generalized optimism versus pessimism.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Marlowe - Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MCSD)

    Other outcome measures will be between any group differences in MCSD. This test assesses the extent to which individuals attempt to depict themselves as similar to the norms and standards of their society and community.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Obsessive - Compulsive Inventory (OCI)

    Other outcome measures will be between any group differences in OCI. This self-report scale assesses distress from symptoms commonly experienced in obsessive-compulsive disorder.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Expectation of Global Response (EGCR)

    Other outcome measures will be between any group differences in EGCR.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Group A - Early Imaging and Group B - Delayed Imaging in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

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 9 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 12 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Patient adherence to treatment plan (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 12 Jun 2015.
