Trial summary

The consequences of COVID-19 in these already fragile patients should be evaluated. It will be important to appreciate the confinement consequences imposed on the patient on the course and impact of the disease. These consequences can be assessed by the end of confinement and 6 months after the latter is lifted. Read more about this study

About this study

The consequences of COVID-19 in these already fragile patients should be evaluated. It will be important to appreciate the confinement consequences imposed on the patient on the course and impact of the disease.

These consequences can be assessed by the end of confinement and 6 months after the latter is lifted.

Read the detailed description

Adaptation capacities are necessary to cope with the brutal and drastic changes imposed by the pandemic and its consequences. In Parkinson's disease, where there are routine situations with difficulties adjusting to newness, patients in the current situation may be particularly affected and present anxiety due to great difficulties in adaptation.

The repercussions in terms of symptoms (motor and non-motor) of the disease could be very significant. In this population already widely exposed to anxio-depressive symptoms (depression being a common symptom of Parkinson's disease, affecting up to 30 to 40% of patients outside of crisis periods), we can expect a risk increased psychiatric decompensation. The psychiatric consequences could not be limited to the current period but also concern long-term patients, in particular if there is decompensation of other symptoms of the disease (motors, complications linked to treatment, etc.).

The consequences of COVID-19 in these already fragile patients should be evaluated. It will be important to appreciate the confinement consequences imposed on the patient on the course and impact of the disease.

These consequences can be assessed by the end of confinement and 6 months after the latter is lifted.

This is an observational, French multicenter study, of an uncontrolled cohort of parkinsonian patients followed by doctors from Parkinson Expert Centers in hospitals.

What participants receive

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

  • Questionnaire and interviewOther

    The questionnaires are Parkinson Disease Questionnaire-8 Items (PDQ-8) Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is visual analog scale visual numeric from 0 to 100, Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Questionnaire-Reduced (NPI-R) and Clinical Global Impression-Impairment (CGI-I).

What is being measured

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

  1. Impact of containment related to the Covid-19 pandemic.

    To compare quality of life using Parkinson Disease Questionnaire-8 Items (PDQ-8 ), during the period of confinement linked to the Covid-19 pandemic and 6 months after the end of the pandemic in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

    The minimum value is "never" and maximum value is "always"

    Measured: 6 months after the end of the pandemic

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Conditions of containment during the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Describe in a cohort of Parkinson's patients the conditions of confinement during the confinement period linked to the Covid-19 pandemic such as lifestyle (patient living alone, patient living with a caregiver, patient living in nursing home) and continuing paramedical care (physiotherapist, speech therapist), thanks to a psychosocial assessment

    Measured: Day 1

  2. The number of patients infected or possibly infected with Covid-19

    Infected patients will be defined as having had a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or compatible chest scanner. Patients potentially infected: patients who presented symptoms during the period which could suggest an infection by the Covid-19 virus: cough, fever and dyspnea

    Measured: 6 months after the end of the pandemic

  3. Symptoms modifications

    Patients will be asked to list the 3 main symptoms that have changed during the confinement period

    Measured: 6 months after the end of the pandemic

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease and COVID, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 8 sites 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 14 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites 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?

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?

Impact of containment related to the Covid-19 pandemic. (time frame: 6 months after the end of the pandemic). 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 NCT04466839, 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 14 Sep 2021.
