About this study

Official title: Study About Personality, as a Predictive Factor of Therapeutic Response on Quality of Life After Continuous Perfusion of Dopaminergic Drugs (by Subcutaneous Apomorphine Infusion or Intrajejunal Infusion of Levodopa-carbidopa), in Parkinson's Disease

The aim of the study is to evaluate if patients' personality could be considerate as predictive factor of quality of life after the establishment of continuous infusion of dopaminergic treatments to observe if there are predictive personality's profiles of specific therapeutic response (Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) or continuous infusion).

Read the detailed description

Parkinson's disease leads to quality of life degradation, especially at level of motor complications. Second line treatment can be proposed to patients. There are deep brain stimulation and two treatments by continuous perfusion: subcutaneous apomorphine infusion and intrajejunal infusion of levodopa-carbidopa. These treatments allow improvement of end-of-dose akinesia, dyskinesia, and a diminution of treatments per os. Nonetheless, they also lead to some side effects and complications. Currently, there are no scientific data to compare the efficacy of these two techniques on motor and non-motor symptoms. Choice is made according to the profile of the patient mainly based on side effects risks, and practitioner's habits. There are still no predictive factors clearly defined to judge of the best efficacy of these treatments according to the patients. Moreover, in an additional study named PSYCHO-STIM, the investigator have discovered that personality can be a predictive factor of quality of life amelioration 1 year after deep brain stimulation. It's why the investigator would like to test personality as a predictive factor of therapeutic response after both continuous perfusions that are available for the patients. Thus, patients beginning a treatment by subcutaneous apomorphine infusion or intrajejunal infusion of levodopa-carbidopa will be included. The investigator will evaluate their personality with the questionnaire "TCI" (Temperament and Character Inventory) and the investigator will assess their quality of life (PDQ-39), looking for the percentage of amelioration 6 months after the treatment by continuous infusion started. As secondary criteria, depression (HAMD), anxiety (HAMA), apathy (LARS), motility (MDS-UPDRS) and clinic severity (CGIS) will also be accessed before the treatment change and six months later.

  • TCI scaleOther

    Also called Temperament and Character Inventory scale (TCI), Quality of life scale

    TCI scale : Evaluation of the patient's personality with the TCI before that the treatment by continuous infusion started.

  • PDQ-39 scaleOther

    Also called Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39)

    PDQ-39 scale: Comparison of life quality before and after the starting of he treatment by continuous infusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. percent of improvement of quality of life score at 6 months after the beginning of the second line treatment

    Evaluation of life quality using Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) scale before (day 1) and after (6 month) the starting of perfusion treatment

    Measured: day 1

  2. percent of improvement of quality of life score at 6 months after the beginning of the second line treatment

    Evaluation of life quality using PDQ-39 scale before and after the starting of perfusion treatment

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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 4 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 France. 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?

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?

percent of improvement of quality of life score at 6 months after the beginning of the second line treatment (time frame: day 1). The study lists 2 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 Jan 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
