About this study

Official title: ELEGANCE - A Non-interventional Study on Long-term Effectiveness and Safety of Levodopa-Entacapone-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel (Lecigon®) in Patients With Advanced Parkinson's Disease in Routine Care

This observational study is designed to collect data on the use of the drug Lecigon® in daily clinical practice. The study is organised and funded by a pharmaceutical company called Britannia Pharmaceuticals Ltd (Britannia).

Lecigon® is prescribed by physicians in advanced Parkinson's disease when patients suffer from uncontrollable fluctuations in mobility, so-called motor fluctuations, which cannot be adjusted well with oral treatment, i.e. medication for swallowing.

In this study, data on the effect and possible side effects from everyday treatment with Lecigon® will be collected and scientifically evaluated. The study is intended to supplement the results of previous clinical studies with clinical data in routine medical care, collected from approximately 300 patients.

Read the detailed description

Study design:

Non-interventional study, primary data collection.

No visits or measurements will be made mandatory by the observational plan. The assignment of patients to Lecigon® not decided in advance by the study's observational plan but falls within current practice. Prescription of Lecigon® occurred before and independently of the decision to include the patient in the study.

The participating centres will offer participation in the ELEGANCE study to all patients who receive treatment with Lecigon® part of routine clinical practice. From patients, who switched to treatment with Lecigon® prior to signing of informed consent, baseline data will be collected retrospectively.

The planned non-interventional study aims to collect real-world data on the effectiveness and safety of Lecigon® as a therapy for advanced Parkinson´s Disease in routine care in Germany and Austria. The study will be expanded to additional European countries as soon as marketing authorisation in these countries and commercial stock will be available.

Primary Objectives:

  • Long-term effectiveness of Lecigon®
  • Long-term safety of Lecigon®

Secondary Objectives:

  • Patient non-motor symptoms and quality of life
  • Healthcare resource utilisation by patients

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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 57 sites in Germany, Romania, Belgium, Spain, Austria and 9 more countries. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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 in OFF time from baseline up to 24 months, or treatment or study discontinuation (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 9 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 6 Oct 2026.
