About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study of Cu(II)ATSM Administered Orally to Patients With Early Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease

Multicenter, open-label dose-escalation study

Read the detailed description

Multicenter, open-label, phase 1 study of Cu(II)ATSM administered orally to patients with early idiopathic Parkinson's disease. The study will be conducted in two phases. In the first phase, dose cohorts of six patients each will receive escalating daily doses of Cu(II)ATSM to establish the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). The starting dose will be 12 mg/day, which has been shown to be well tolerated in an ongoing phase 1 pharmacokinetic and dose-finding study of Cu(II)ATSM in patients with ALS (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02870634). In the second phase of the study, an expansion cohort of 20 patients will be treated at the RP2D to confirm tolerability and assess preliminary evidence of efficacy.

In both the dose escalation and expansion cohorts, once the first 28 days of treatment are completed, at the discretion of the investigator a patient may continue to receive Cu(II)ATSM treatment for a maximum of six 28-day treatment cycles.

  2. Treatment-related changes in motor function

    Treatment related changes in motor function assessed by the UPDRS Part III score and UPDRS ambulatory capacity subscore

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Treatment-related changes in cognitive function

    Treatment related changes in cognitive function assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessments (MoCA)

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Treatment-related changes in quality of life

    Treatment related changes in quality of life assessed by the 39-item Parkinson Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39)

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Treatment-related changes in constipation

    Treatment related changes in constipation assessed by the Wexler Constipation Score

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cu(II)ATSM in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Collaborative Medicinal Development Pty Limited at 2 sites in Australia.

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 11 inclusion and 12 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 17 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Australia. 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?

Recommended phase 2 dose (time frame: 6 months). 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 17 Mar 2020.
