Trial summary

The goal of our trial is to evaluate the tolerance and efficacy of the STN radiosurgery in Parkinsonian patients presenting with the inclusion criteria for the STN stimulation but presenting also with clear contraindications to the implantation of the deep brain electrodes.

About this study

The goal of our trial is to evaluate the tolerance and efficacy of the STN radiosurgery in Parkinsonian patients presenting with the inclusion criteria for the STN stimulation but presenting also with clear contraindications to the implantation of the deep brain electrodes.

Read the detailed description

Subthalamic nucleus (SNT) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the reference treatment for severe drug resistant Parkinson's disease, responsible to dopaminergic therapy, to the state of complication. The efficacy of this therapeutic approach has transformed the functional prognosis of these patients. Unfortunately, those of the patients presenting with contraindications for anaesthesia or electrode implantation are excluded of these therapeutic hope.

Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a neurosurgical procedure going to operate in the brain of the patients without opening the skull without infection or bleeding risk.

Gamma Knife radiosurgical treatment will be done in two separate times (GK1 and GK2). Treatment of the second side (GK2) will be done at least 12 months after the treatment of the first side (GK1), in the same methodology as the first treatment. The major risk of onset of acute ballism although low is planned to be managed by the standard protocol by the recruiting team involved in the trial.

What participants receive

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

  • Gamma Knife radiosurgeryProcedure or surgery

    For patients presenting a contraindications for anaesthesia or electrode implantation, operate their brain without opening the skull without infection or bleeding risk.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the safety and efficacy

    Feasibility of this step is mandatory on the organization of a true randomized comparative trial witch should bring a higher lever of evidence, but in the present state immature from ethical point of view.

    Measured: 48 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gamma Knife radiosurgery in people with Parkinson's Disease and With Inclusion Criteria for STN Deep Brain Stimulation, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site 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 1 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 14 Apr 2023. 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 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?

Evaluation of the safety and efficacy (time frame: 48 months). 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 14 Apr 2023.
