About this study

Official title: Pilotstudy to Develop a Guideline for Hometitration With Doudopa for Patients With Parkinson Disease

The purpose of this study is to

  1. Create a guide for hometitration of Duodopa for patients with Parkinson's disease
  2. Outline which patients could be considered for "hometitration"
Read the detailed description

To start treatment with continuous intestinal levodopa infusion to the duodenum (Duodopa-pump) in patients with Idiopathic Parkinson Disease (IPD), it is usually required that the patient is hospitalised to test if Duodopa works for the patient and for the titration process to find the relevant dosage before operation and connection of the pump.

A hospitalisation is very costly. Experience shows, that this group of patients are often very stressed during hospitalisation because of noise, impaired sleep and unfamiliar surroundings. These conditions make fast and effective dosage titration very difficult, and experience also shows that the dosage often needs to be recalibrated once the patient is back home in familiar surroundings.

The use of TeleMedicin (TM) is on the rise in Denmark as well as other international health care systems.

These factors were the basis for the home-titration study where patients have their initial dosage titration done in their own home, supported by one visit from nursing staff, and one TM (video consultation) a day. The goal is to make the titration process more effective, reduce cost by treating the patient in their own home and making the patient more satisfied with the titration process.

What participants receive

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

  • Home titrationOther

    Patients have their initial dosage titration of duodopa done in their own home, supported by one visit from nursing staff, and one video consultation a day

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient satisfaction

    Satisfaction questionnaire specific for study. 10 questions with a scale from highly satisfied to not at all satisfied.

    Measured: 14 days after titration

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Hoehn Yahr staging of Parkinson's disease

    Scale to acces severity of symptoms of Parkinsons disease.

    1. Unilateral involvement only usually with minimal or no functional disability Unilateral involvement only 1.5 - Unilateral and axial involvement
    2. Bilateral or midline involvement without impairment of balance Bilateral involvement without impairment of balance 2.5 - Mild bilateral disease with recovery on pull test
    3. Bilateral disease: mild to moderate disability with impaired postural reflexes; physically independent Mild to moderate bilateral disease; some postural instability; physically independent
    4. Severely disabling disease; still able to walk or stand unassisted Severe disability; still able to walk or stand unassisted
    5. Confinement to bed or wheelchair unless aided Wheelchair bound or bedridden unless aided

    Measured: 2 month

  2. Montreal Cognitive Assesment (MOCA)

    Version 7.0, www.mocatest.org. Maximum points 30 (no sign of cognitive malfunction.

    Measured: 2 month

  3. Parkinsons Disease Questionnaire 39 (PD-Q39)

    39 questions for the patients to rate QoL in Parkinson's Disease.

    Measured: 2 month

  4. Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale III (UPDRS)

    Scale on assesment of severity of disease induced symptoms. A total of 199 points represents the worst (total) disability.

    Measured: 2 month

  5. Barthel-20 index

    Version 30/11-2017, Maximum score 20.

    Measured: 2 month

  6. Non-Motor Symptom Scale (NMSS)

    Scale to identify non-motor symptoms within 9 domains, score fra 0 to 3, where 0 are no symptoms in that area and 3 is severe.

    Measured: 2 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 2 Nov 2022. 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 Denmark. 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?

Patient satisfaction (time frame: 14 days after titration). 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 NCT04196647, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Nov 2022.
