  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Preoperative:
  • Subject has the ability to understand and provide written informed consent for participation in the study prior to the study-related procedures being conducted
  • Subject with levodopa-responsive PD of at least 4 years' duration, with symptoms not adequately controlled with medication, including individuals with motor complications of recent onset (from 4 months to 3 years) or with motor complications of longer-standing duration, and who are eligible for bilateral STN DBS surgery
  • Subject is ≥ 22 years of age at time of informed consent
  • Subject is a male or non-pregnant female. If female of child-bearing potential, and if sexually active, must be using, or agree to use, a medically-acceptable method of birth control as confirmed by the investigator
  • Subject has documented improvement in motor signs ON versus OFF dopaminergic medication, with a change in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III score of > 30% OFF to ON medication
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Based on the opinion of the Neurosurgeon, the subject is an acceptable candidate for implant of a DBS System that includes: bilateral DBS leads targeted to the STN, extensions, and neurostimulator
  • Subject can read and understand English
  • Subject is willing and able to attend all study-required visits and complete the study procedures
  • Subject is willing and able to be awake during left and right DBS lead implant surgery and for intraoperative LFP recordings
  • Intraoperative:
  • Required beta band (13 - 30 Hz) signal detected on left and right DBS leads

Who cannot join

  • Subject has tremor dominant PD ≥ 2 at rest in head, upper, or lower extremities as measured on the UPDRS Part III Question 20
  • Subject requires diathermy, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
  • Subject has a history of prior intracranial surgery (eg, DBS, lesioning, previous surgical ablation)
  • Subject is unable to undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the head for planning the surgical DBS lead implants
  • Based on the opinion of the Neurosurgeon, the subject has a clinically significant structural abnormality(ies) of the brain that would jeopardize subject safety during the DBS lead implant, conduct of the study, or confound the subject's assessments
  • Subject has a metallic implant in the head, (eg, aneurysm clip, cochlear implant)
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Subject has a major comorbidity increasing the risk of surgery (eg, prior stroke, severe diabetes, severe hypertension, immunocompromised, seizure disorder, active infection, need for chronic anticoagulation other than aspirin)
  • Subject has a neurocognitive impairment which exceeds the criteria for PD mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) as determined from the center's clinical neuropsychological evaluation prior to DBS for PD
  • Subject has, or plans to obtain, an implanted electrical stimulation medical device anywhere in the body (eg, cardiac pacemaker, defibrillator, spinal cord stimulator)
  • Subject has, or plans to obtain, an implanted medication pump (eg, DUOPATM infusion pump) and/or portable infusion pump
  • Based on the opinion of the investigator, the subject has an abnormal neurological examination that would preclude them from study participation
  • Subject is breast feeding
  • Subject has Mattis Dementia Rating Scale-2 (DRS-2) score ≤ 130
  • Subject has Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) > 25
  • Subject is currently participating, or plans to participate, in another investigational study unless written approval is provided by the Medtronic study team

About this study

Official title: Local Field Potential (LFP) Beta Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation (aDBS) Feasibility Study

The purpose of this study is to use local field potentials as control signals for adjusting DBS stimulation settings under varying patient states and to assess patient outcomes.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • The LFP Beta aDBS SystemDevice

    The LFP Beta aDBS System is intended for use in patients receiving DBS for Parkinson's Disease where LFPs may be recorded and analyzed.

Study groups in NCT03446833
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
All SubjectsExperimentalSubjects who meet the intraoperative criteria will receive The LFP Beta aDBS System.
Receives: Device: The LFP Beta aDBS System

What is being measured

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

  1. Operational Performance: Stimulation amplitude and LFP signals

    To characterize the stimulation amplitude and LFP signals during execution of the Medtronic LFP -based aDBS adaptive algorithm. Descriptive statistics will be reported across different PD medication states and subject activities.

    Measured: Approximately 6 months post implant

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Acute Clinical Effect: motor examination

    The UPDRS III motor exam score will be assessed. Descriptive statistics will be reported.

    Measured: Approximately 6 months post implant

  2. Acute Clinical Effect: speech

    UPDRS III item 18 will be used to score a standardized reading passage. Descriptive statistics will be reported.

    Measured: Approximately 6 months post implant

  3. Acute Clinical Effect: dyskinesia

    UPDRS IV item 33 will be used to assess dyskinesias. Descriptive statistics will be reported.

    Measured: Approximately 6 months post implant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing The LFP Beta aDBS System in people with Parkinson Disease, run by MedtronicNeuro at 2 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 12 inclusion and 15 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2019. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Business decision). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Operational Performance: Stimulation amplitude and LFP signals (time frame: Approximately 6 months post implant). 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 23 Sep 2019.
