About this study

Official title: Examining the Effects of Unblocking the Full Potential of Medtronic PerceptTM PC IPG on Symptoms of Individuals with Parkinson's Disease

Population Size and Eligible Patients: The study will enroll patients with Parkinson's disease (n=30) who had an IPG replacement from Activa PC (older generation of neurostimulator) to Medtronic PerceptTM PC (newer generation of neurostimulator) as a part of their standard-of-care. No patient will be receiving the system for research purposes only.

Study Design: This is a prospective, double-blinded, randomized, cross-over clinical investigation to further investigate the efficiency of Medtronic PerceptTM PC neurostimulator. This study involves three in clinic visits. During the first study visit, the patients' neurostimulator will be reprogrammed using all the additional features the Percept PC has to offer. At the end of the visit, the patients will be randomized between their baseline program, ((Activa PC group) and the newly defined programming settings (Percept Group). During the second visit (1-month follow-up) the effect will be clinically assessed, and a crossover of the condition will happen. The third visit (2-month follow-up) will be a follow-up visit with no programming but only clinical assessment.

Study Duration: Expected study duration is 1 year with the possibility for renewals.

Objectives and outcome measures: The goal is the study is to define whether or what the benefit is of the Percept PC neurostimulator compared to the older Activa PC neurostimulator. The primary outcome is patient-reported global impression of change (PGIC). The secondary outcome measures are clinical scales assessing symptoms of Parkinson's disease (UPDRS-III and -IV) and quality of life (PDQ-39), the active problems list and amount of medication intake.

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

  • Programming DBS using Percept PC neurostimulator's full potentialOther

    This study aims to enroll patients who previously had Activa PC neurostimulator and underwent a battery change to Medtronic PerceptTM PC as standard-of-care. However, in this study, the investigators intent to fully utilize the programming potential of Medtronic PerceptTM PC to optimize treatment outcome.

What is being measured

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

  1. Patients' Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale

    the investigators expect to see an improvement of PGIC due to a decrease in (the severity of) active problems. The PGIC scale ranges from 1 to 7, with 1 indicating no change and 7 signifying a substantial improvement.

    Measured: First programming (Baseline) - Crossover programming (1 month Follow-up)- Third month Follow-up

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. MDS-UPDRS-III

    the investigators expect to see an improvement in the MDS-UPDRS-III. Part III: Motor examination: 0 to 132, with higher scores indicating greater motor impairment.

    Measured: First programming (Baseline) - Crossover programming (1 month Follow-up)- Third month Follow-up

  2. MDS-UPDRS-IV

    the investigators expect to see an improvement in the MDS-UPDRS-IV. The score ranges from 0-24. Higher scores indicate more severe impairment.

    Measured: First programming (Baseline) - Crossover programming (1 month Follow-up)- Third month Follow-up

  3. The Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39)

    the investigators expect to see an improvement in PDQ-39. 0 to 100; being the higher the score, the worse the quality of life.

    Measured: First programming (Baseline) - Crossover programming (1 month Follow-up)- Third month Follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Programming DBS using Percept PC neurostimulator's full potential in people with Parkinson Disease, run by University of Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 2 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 4 Nov 2024. 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 Canada. 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?

Patients' Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale (time frame: First programming (Baseline) - Crossover programming (1 month Follow-up)- Third month Follow-up). 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 Nov 2024.
