About this study

Official title: A Phase IIa, Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of MT101-5 in Subjects With Early Parkinson's Disease

A Phase IIa, Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of MT101-5 in Subjects with Early Parkinson's Disease. Primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MT101-5 400 mg and 600 mg oral tablet total daily dose compared to Placebo in subjects with Parkinson's Disease.

Read the detailed description

The study will include three phases: a 4-week Screening Phase, a 12-week Double-Blind Treatment Phase, and a 4-week Follow-up Phase.

Screening Phase (Day -28 to Day -1, up to 28 days):

Screening phase is designed to determine subject's eligibility to proceed to Randomization and the Treatment Phase of the study. During this phase, a series of assessments will be performed to determine subject eligibility as per inclusion and exclusion criteria.

At the Screening Visit, prior to any study-related procedures, a written informed consent will be obtained from the subject by the Investigator or suitable qualified personnel. Screening procedures will be conducted per the study schedule of events. All screening information will be documented in the case report forms.

Subjects who meet eligibility criteria, but have some abnormal laboratory values, based on PI review a repeat laboratory sample may be collected. The repeat laboratory reports should be reviewed by the PI to confirm eligibility prior to randomization.

Subjects who fail to meet eligibility criteria during the Screening phase will be considered screen failures and will be exited from the study. Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria will be scheduled for randomization visit.

Randomization and Double-Blind Treatment Phase (TV0- TV3, 12 weeks):

Subjects who have successfully completed the Screening phase will enter the Randomization and Double-Blind treatment phase of the study. Subjects will take the assigned randomized treatment, MT101-5 at 400 mg, 600 mg or placebo for 12 weeks. MT101-5 and matching placebo are oral tablets that will be taken as six tablets two times a day (b.i.d.) at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after meal in the morning and evening daily during this study.

Randomization/Treatment Visit 0 (TV0):

On Day 0 prior to randomization, the subject's continued eligibility will be evaluated. Subjects who continue to be eligible will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of the following treatment groups and assigned the study treatment kit:

  • Group 1: MT101-5 400 mg divided b.i.d. (Total daily dose of 400 mg, combination of four 50 mg MT101-5 tablets and two placebo tablets, taken as six tablets two times daily at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after meal).
  • Group 2: MT101-5 600 mg divided b.i.d. (Total daily dose of 600 mg, 50 mg tablets taken as six tablets two times daily at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after meal).
  • Group 3: Placebo tablet (0 mg MT101-5) divided b.i.d. (Total daily dose of 0 mg, 0 mg taken as six placebo tablets two times daily at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after meal).

Treatment Visits 1 (TV1) through 3 (TV3):

Clinic treatment visits TV1 through TV3 will be conducted every four (4) weeks (± window periods). During each of these visits, study evaluations will be conducted per the study schedule of events and sufficient supply of MT101-5 or placebo till the next treatment visit will be dispensed.

Treatment Visit 3 (TV3) will be the end of treatment (EOT) clinic visit. Study evaluations, review of the adverse events, concomitant medications and final study treatment accountability will be conducted.

Follow-up Phase (FUV, 4 weeks ± 3 days)

The follow-up phase will consist of a follow-up visit at the end of the Double-Blind Treatment phase.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable or unintended sign, symptom, or disease that occurs or is reported by the patient to have occurred, or a worsening of a pre-existing condition. An adverse event may or may not be related to the study treatment.

    Measured: Change from baseline to week 12 after the first study drug administration

    Measured: Change from baseline to week 12 after the first study drug administration

  4. Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)

    Suicidal ideation/suicidal behavior assessment tool. Score ranges from 2 to 25, with the higher number indicating more intense ideation.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) total score

    A multimodal scale assessing both impairment and disability. Score ranges from 0 to 260, with 0 indicating no disability and 260 indicating total disability

    Measured: Change from baseline to week 12 after the first study drug administration

  2. Schwab and England (S&E) Scale total score

    Scale that reflects the speed, ease, and independence with which an individual performs daily activities. Score range from 0% to 100%. Higher the percentage better the outcome.

    Measured: Change from baseline to week 12 after the first study drug administration

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

    Patient reported rating scale in Parkinson's disease. Score between 0 and 100. Lower scores reflect better quality of life.

    Measured: Change from baseline to week 12 after the first study drug administration

  4. Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) scale total score

    System for describing how the symptoms of Parkinson's disease progress. Score range from 0 to 5. Higher the score worse the outcome.

    Measured: Change from baseline to week 12 after the first study drug administration

  5. Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) and Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) scale score.

    The CGI measures global severity of illness at a given point in time. Score range from 1 to 7. Higher the score worse the outcome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MT101-5 in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Mthera Pharma Co., Ltd..

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 6 inclusion and 16 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Contact Anandkrishnan Balasubramanian ((301) 956-2531, anandb@amarexcro.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Change from baseline to week 12 after the first study drug administration). The study lists 12 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 16 Oct 2026.
