About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the eON-OFF Mobile Application and Four Actigraphy Devices in Subjects With Parkinson's Disease

Clinical assessments can only offer a snapshot of daily life with Parkinson's Disease, while wearable devices can offer immensely more information that can improve the understanding of this disease. With recent advancements in technology, investigators are now able to use watch-like devices to more effectively measure the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease outside of the doctor's office. The present study is designed to evaluate the usability, applicability, and interpretability of an electronic VA Patient Motor Diary (eON-OFF), MC10 BioStampRC actigraphy sensor, APDM actigraphy sensor and the GENEActiv Watch in persons with Parkinson's Disease. There is no placebo/control group.

Read the detailed description

The proposed study will be comprised of at least four sessions in the Spivack Center (Rm. X-140) on separate days (not counting recruitment, screening, or consent activities), each lasting approximately 1-2 hours. Subjects will commence a 1-week testing period during which they will wear the 3 actigraphy devices in their normal schedule and daily environment. On Days 2, 3, 4, and 5, subjects will use the eON-OFF motor diary application to select their current Parkinson state (e.g. "on", "off"). ON and OFF states are subjective measures identified by subjects, and are commonly used words in Parkinson's Disease treatment and research to describe symptom states. Symptom severity is directly linked to medication effectiveness. "On" is when the medication is working and symptoms are not severe or troublesome. "Off" is when medication has worn off, and symptom severity increases. Subjects will also use the eON-OFF motor diary application to verbally record symptomology every 30 minutes while awake. Subjects will complete paper VA Patient Motor Diaries to record ON and OFF states on Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4. Subjects will then complete the outlined set of activities during Phase I in a second phase to take place approximately one month later. All questionnaires, training and interviews will be administered one-on-one by a trained research assistant. All UPDRS' will be administered by a clinician. Ideally, subjects will be administered the study activities on the days listed above, but they are allowed a flexibility of +/- 4 days for scheduling appointments.

What participants receive

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

  • MC10 BioStampRCDevice

    Subjects will fill out electronic diaries on a provisioned iPhone to capture "On" versus "Off" time on a daily basis while at home. In addition, subjects will be asked to wear three actigraphy devices.

  • APDM actigraphy deviceDevice

    Subjects will fill out electronic diaries on a provisioned iPhone to capture "On" versus "Off" time on a daily basis while at home. In addition, subjects will be asked to wear three actigraphy devices.

  • GENEActiv watchDevice

    Subjects will fill out electronic diaries on a provisioned iPhone to capture "On" versus "Off" time on a daily basis while at home. In addition, subjects will be asked to wear three actigraphy devices.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of eON-OFF mobile application ("eON-OFF app") in PD subjects.

    Subjects will use the eON-OFF motor diary application to select their current Parkinson state (e.g. "on", "off"). Subjects will also use the eON-OFF motor diary application to verbally record symptomology every 30 minutes while awake.

    Measured: 2 week long periods spaced a month apart

Secondary outcomes (2)

  1. Equivalence testing of the eON-OFF app on provisioned devices against established paper-based clinical assessment.

    Subjects will complete paper VA Patient Motor Diaries to record ON and OFF states. ON and OFF states are subjective measures identified by subjects, and are commonly used words in Parkinson's Disease treatment and research to describe symptom states.

    Measured: 2 week long periods spaced a month apart

  2. Evaluation of the usability and applicability of 3 wearable sensor systems in assessing clinical measures of PD.

    Subjects will undergo two, 1-week testing periods during which they will wear the 3 actigraphy devices in their normal schedule and daily environment.

    Measured: 2 week long periods spaced a month apart

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Boston 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 12 inclusion and 8 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 24 Jan 2019. 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.

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?

Assessment of eON-OFF mobile application ("eON-OFF app") in PD subjects. (time frame: 2 week long periods spaced a month apart). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03247387.

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 24 Jan 2019.
