What is being measured

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

  1. The Percentage of Patients With Resolution of an 'OFF' Episode to an 'ON' State Following Administration of APL-130277

    Clinical confirmation of an 'OFF' state was assessed prior to dosing and confirmation of 'OFF' or 'ON' was assessed after dosing at Visits 3 - 5 by the Investigator. The first full 'ON' dose was defined as the earliest dose in which a patient achieved a full 'ON' state as assessed by the Investigator. The percentage of patients who achieved their first full 'ON' is presented for each timepoint, regardless of the dose received, and for the study overall (i.e. all post-dose timepoints).

    Measured: At 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after dosing at Visits 3 - 5.

  2. Time to 'ON' State From Time of Dosing of APL-130277

    Clinical confirmation of 'OFF' or 'ON' was assessed after dosing at Visits 3 - 5 by the Investigator. The time to the full 'ON' state from the time of dosing in minutes was calculated from timings noted by the Investigator and recorded in the electronic case report form (eCRF). The mean time taken for a patient to reach their first full 'ON' state following administration of APL-130277 is presented for patients who turned 'ON' for the study overall.

    Measured: At 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after dosing at Visits 3 - 5.

  3. Duration of 'ON' Response From Time of Dosing of APL-130277

    Clinical confirmation of 'OFF' or 'ON' was assessed after dosing at Visits 3 - 5 by the Investigator. The duration of the 'ON' response was defined as the length of time in which a patient was confirmed 'ON' within a dose, and was calculated from the time noted by the Investigator and recorded in the eCRF. The mean duration of the first full 'ON' response following administration of APL-130277 is presented for patients who turned 'ON' for the study overall.

    Measured: At 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after dosing at Visits 3 - 5.

  4. Percentage of Patients Who Completed the Trial and Experienced an 'ON' Episode

    Clinical confirmation of 'OFF' or 'ON' was assessed after dosing at Visits 3 - 5 by the Investigator. For the overall study, the percentage of patients who completed the trial, and who experienced an 'ON' episode is presented.

    Measured: At 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after dosing at Visits 3 - 5.

  5. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Evaluation: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    The mean Cmax values are presented for each dosage administered at Visits 3, 4, and 5 for which data was available.

    Plasma concentrations of the active substance of APL-130277, apomorphine, were analysed using a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay, with a lower limit of quantification of 0.020 nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL).

    Measured: Just prior to dosing and at 10, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after each dose at Visits 3 - 5.

  6. PK Evaluation: Time of Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

    The median Tmax values are presented for each dosage administered at Visits 3, 4, and 5 for which data was available.

    Plasma concentrations of the active substance of APL-130277, apomorphine, were analysed using a validated LC-MS/MS assay, with a lower limit of quantification of 0.020 ng/mL.

    Measured: Just prior to dosing and at 10, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after each dose at Visits 3 - 5.

  7. PK Evaluation: Time to Last Analytically Quantifiable Concentration (Tlast)

    The mean Tlast values are presented for each dosage administered at Visits 3, 4, and 5 for which data was available.

    Plasma concentrations of the active substance of APL-130277, apomorphine, were analysed using a validated LC-MS/MS assay, with a lower limit of quantification of 0.020 ng/mL.

    Measured: Just prior to dosing and at 10, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after each dose at Visits 3 - 5.

  8. PK Evaluation: Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve, From Time 0 to 90 Minutes (AUC0-90)

    The mean AUC0-90 values are presented for each dosage administered at Visits 3, 4, and 5 for which data was available.

    Plasma concentrations of the active substance of APL-130277, apomorphine, were analysed using a validated LC-MS/MS assay, with a lower limit of quantification of 0.020 ng/mL.

    Measured: Just prior to dosing and at 10, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after each dose at Visits 3 - 5.

  9. PK Evaluation: Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve, From Time 0 to the Last Measurable Non-zero Concentration (AUClast)

    The mean AUClast values are presented for each dosage administered at Visits 3, 4, and 5 for which data was available.

    Plasma concentrations of the active substance of APL-130277, apomorphine, were analysed using a validated LC-MS/MS assay, with a lower limit of quantification of 0.020 ng/mL. The AUClast was calculated by a combination of linear and logarithmic trapezoidal methods (linear up/log down method).

    Measured: Just prior to dosing and at 10, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after each dose at Visits 3 - 5.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage Change in MDS-UPDRS Section III Score From Pre-dose Assessment

    The Motor Function section (Section III) of the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) included 33 scores based on 18-items, each anchored with 5 responses: 0 = normal, 1 = slight, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe. The scale range was from 0 to 132, with a lower score indicating better motor function and a higher score indicating more severe motor symptoms. The percent change in the MDS-UPDRS Section III score from pre-dose to the first full ON dose or last dose for non-responders is presented. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement.

    Measured: At 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after dosing at Visits 3 - 5.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing APL-130277 in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. at 4 sites 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 9 inclusion and 20 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 30 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Jul 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

The Percentage of Patients With Resolution of an 'OFF' Episode to an 'ON' State Following Administration of APL-130277 (time frame: At 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after dosing at Visits 3 - 5.). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Jul 2020.
