What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Parkinson signs and symptoms by means of a 4-point rating scale

    Measured: up to 6 weeks

  2. Occurrence of tremor (rest and postural) by means of a 4-point rating scale

    Short Parkinson's Evaluation Scale (SPES)

    Measured: up to 6 weeks

  3. Change in severity of kinetic tremor assessed by tremor spiral test

    Measured: up to 6 weeks

  4. Occurrence of depression by means of a 4-point SPES rating scale

    Measured: up to 6 weeks

  5. Change in severity of depression by means of an 8-point rating scale

    Clinical Global Impression (CGI) rating scale

    Measured: up to 6 weeks

  6. Self-Assessment of depression by patient by means of six different visual analogue scales (VAS)

    VAS (10 cm)

    Measured: up to 6 weeks

  7. Assessment of efficacy by investigator on a 5-point rating scale

    Measured: after 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of patients with adverse drug reactions

    Measured: up to 6 weeks

  2. Assessment of tolerability by investigator on a 5-point scale

    Measured: after 6 weeks

  3. Assessment of tolerability by patient on a 5-point scale

    Measured: after 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 4 Sep 2014. 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 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 Parkinson signs and symptoms by means of a 4-point rating scale (time frame: up to 6 weeks). The study lists 7 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 4 Sep 2014.
