What participants receive

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

  • Stalevo®Drug

    Also called Levodopa/Carbidopa/Entacapone

    • Sleep disorders in Parkinson's disease
    • Analysis by Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale(PDSS) scores.
    • If the PDSS score is improving at least 15 percent than the baseline score, It can be determined to be effective.

What is being measured

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

  1. The correlation of the genetic variants of central circadian clock and narcolepsy genes with regard to the treatment effect of Stalevo® in sleep disturbance of parkinson's disease.

    To determine whether the genetic variants of clock and narcolepsy genes are associated with the effectiveness of Stalevo® in bedtime on the quality of sleep in PD patients with motor fluctuation.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The effectiveness of Stalevo® in bedtime on the quality of sleep in PD patients with motor fluctuation (using Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale)

    To determine whether Stalevo® in bedtime improves the quality of sleep in PD patients with motor fluctuation using Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale.

    Measured: up to 3 months from enrollment.

  2. The effectiveness about improving the EDS(Excessive daytime sleepiness) in PD patients with motor fluctuation after taking Stalevo® in bedtime.

    Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is characterized by persistent sleepiness and often a general lack of energy, even after apparently adequate or even prolonged night time sleep. EDS can be considered as one of features of sleep disturbance in parkinson's disease. It will be assessed using a composite measurement consisting of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Hoehn and Yahr stage, Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Parkinson's Disease Wearing Off Questionnaire-9 (PDWOQ-9), and Parkinson's Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39).

    Measured: up to 3 months from enrollment.

  3. The effectiveness about improving the morning motor symptoms in PD patients with motor fluctuation after taking Stalevo® in bedtime.

    To determine whether Stalevo® in bedtime improves the morning motor symptoms in PD patients with motor fluctuation. It will be assessed using a composite measurement consisting of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Hoehn and Yahr stage, Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Parkinson's Disease Wearing Off Questionnaire-9 (PDWOQ-9), and Parkinson's Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39).

    Measured: up to 3 months from enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stalevo® in people with Parkinson Disease and Sleep Disorders, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2016. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sun Ju Chung, Professor (82-2-3010-3988, sunjubrain@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The correlation of the genetic variants of central circadian clock and narcolepsy genes with regard to the treatment effect of Stalevo® in sleep disturbance of parkinson's disease. (time frame: 2 years). 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 13 Jul 2016.
