About this study
Official title: A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Flexible-Dose, 27-Week Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Tavapadon as Adjunctive Therapy for Parkinson's Disease in Levodopa-Treated Adults With Motor Fluctuations (TEMPO-3 Trial)
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of tavapadon on the change from baseline in total daily hours of "on" time without troublesome dyskinesia in L-Dopa-treated participants with Parkinson's Disease (PD) who are experiencing motor fluctuations.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
TavapadonDrug
Also called PF-06649751, CVL-751
Participants will be randomized to receive tavapadon 5 to 15 mg tablet QD orally for 27 weeks.
PlaceboDrug
Participants will receive placebo matching to tavapadon QD orally for 27 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Tavapadon | Experimental | Participants will receive a tavapadon tablet titrated 5 to 15milligrams (mg) once daily (QD)orally for 27 weeks. Receives: Drug: Tavapadon |
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Participants will receive placebo matching to tavapadon tablet QD orally for 27 weeks. Receives: Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in the Total "On" Time Without Troublesome Dyskinesia Based on the 2-day Average of the Self-completed Home Diary for Motor Function Status (Hauser Diary)
The Hauser diary assesses participant-defined clinical status over a period of time and provides a tool for assessment of the change in "off" time and "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia (which is a more accurate reflection of clinical response than "off" time alone). The Hauser diary asks participants to rate their mobility for each 30-minute period and to record their status for the majority of the period in 1 of 5 categories as: "on" time without dyskinesia, "on" time with nontroublesome dyskinesia, "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia, "off" time, or asleep. The total "on" time without troublesome dyskinesia will be assessed and reported at endpoint.
Measured: Week 26
Secondary outcomes (4)
Change From Baseline in Total Daily "Off" Time Based on the 2-Day Average of the Self-Completed Home Diary for Motor Function Status (Hauser Diary)
The Hauser diary assesses participant-defined clinical status over a period of time and provides a tool for assessment of the change in "off" time and "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia (which is a more accurate reflection of clinical response than "off" time alone). The Hauser diary asks participants to rate their mobility for each 30-minute period and to record their status for the majority of the period in 1 of 5 categories as: "on" time without dyskinesia, "on" time with nontroublesome dyskinesia, "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia, "off" time, or asleep. The total daily "Off" time will be assessed and reported at endpoint.
Measured: Week 26
Change From Baseline in the Total "On" Time Without Troublesome Dyskinesia Based on the 2-day Average of the Self-completed Home Diary for Motor Function Status (Hauser Diary)
The Hauser diary assesses participant-defined clinical status over a period of time and provides a tool for assessment of the change in "off" time and "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia (which is a more accurate reflection of clinical response than "off" time alone). The Hauser diary asks participants to rate their mobility for each 30-minute period and to record their status for the majority of the period in 1 of 5 categories as: "on" time without dyskinesia, "on" time with nontroublesome dyskinesia, "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia, "off" time, or asleep. The total "on" time without troublesome dyskinesia will be assessed and reported at different time points.
Measured: Week 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 18, 22, and 26
Change From Baseline in Total Daily "Off" Time Based on the 2-Day Average of the Self-Completed Home Diary for Motor Function Status (Hauser Diary)
The Hauser diary assesses participant-defined clinical status over a period of time and provides a tool for assessment of the change in "off" time and "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia (which is a more accurate reflection of clinical response than "off" time alone). The Hauser diary asks participants to rate their mobility for each 30-minute period and to record their status for the majority of the period in 1 of 5 categories as: "on" time without dyskinesia, "on" time with nontroublesome dyskinesia, "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia, "off" time, or asleep. The total daily "Off" time will be assessed and reported at different time points.
Measured: Week 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 18, 22, and 26
Change From Baseline in the Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Parts I, II and III Individual Score
The MDS-UPDRS rating tool was used to follow longitudinal course of Parkinson's Disease. It was made up of 4 parts: Part 1: Non-motor aspects of experiences of daily living (13 items. Score range: 0-52); Part 2: Motor aspects of experiences of daily living (13 items. Score range: 0-52); Part 3: Motor examination (18 items. Score range: 0-132); Part 4: Motor complications (6 items. Score range: 0-24. Part 4 was not collected in this trial). Each item has 0-4 rating on scale from 0 (normal) to 4 (severe). Higher values represent a worse outcome.
Measured: Week 26

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Mar 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Change From Baseline in the Total "On" Time Without Troublesome Dyskinesia Based on the 2-day Average of the Self-completed Home Diary for Motor Function Status (Hauser Diary) (time frame: Week 26). 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 NCT04542499, 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 4 Apr 2025.
