What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs), Vital Signs, and Laboratory Parameters

    The safety of the long-term SPM 962 treatment was examined based on the incidence and severity of AEs, vital signs, and laboratory parameters.

    AEs of special interest (1-3) are defined as below:

    1. sudden onset of sleep
    2. obsessive-compulsive disorder or impulse-control disorder
    3. hallucination, delusion

    Application site reaction is scored as -, ±, +, ++, +++, or ++++. More + indicates a greater severity of symptoms. The worst score obtained throughout the evaluation period was to be assessed.

    Measured: Up to 55 weeks after dosing

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part 3 Sum Score

    Mean change (LOCF) from baseline in UPDRS Part 3 sum score (on state).

    UPDRS is a scale for monitoring Parkinson's Disease-related disability and impairment. The UPDRS consists of the following four sub-scales. Part 1: Mentation, Part 2: Activities of Daily Living, Part 3: Motor, Part 4: Complications. Part 3 assesses 14 items. Each item is scored from 0 (normal) to 4 (severe). The sum score serves as the sub-scale score. A higher score indicates a greater severity of symptoms. Thus a decrease in the scores means improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Up to 54 weeks after dosing

  2. UPDRS Part 2 Sum Score (Average of on State and Off State)

    Mean change (LOCF) from baseline in UPDRS Part 2 sum score (average of on state and off state).

    UPDRS sub-scale Part 2 assesses 13 items. Each item is scored from 0 (normal) to 4 (severe). The sum score serves as the sub-scale score. A higher score indicates a greater severity of symptoms. Thus a decrease in the scores means improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing

  3. Absolute Time Spent "Off"

    Mean number of hours in "off state" during a 24-hour period.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing

  4. UPDRS Part 1 Sum Score

    Mean change (LOCF) from baseline in UPDRS Part 1 sum score.

    UPDRS sub-scale Part 1 assesses 4 items. Each item is scored from 0 (normal) to 4 (severe). The sum score serves as the sub-scale score. A higher score indicates a greater severity of symptoms. Thus a decrease in the scores means improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing

  5. UPDRS Part 2 Sum Score (On State)

    Mean change (LOCF) from baseline in UPDRS Part 2 sum score (on state). A decrease in the scores means improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing

  6. UPDRS Part 2 Sum Score (Off State)

    Mean change (LOCF) from baseline in UPDRS Part 2 sum score (off state). A decrease in the scores means improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing

  7. UPDRS Part 4 Sum Score

    Mean change (LOCF) from baseline in UPDRS Part 4 sum score.

    UPDRS sub-scale Part 4 assesses 11 items. Each item is scored from 0 (normal) to 4 (severe). The sum score serves as the sub-scale score.

    A higher score indicates a greater severity of symptoms. Thus a decrease in the scores means improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing

  8. Total of UPDRS Part 1 Sum Score, UPDRS Part 2 Sum Score (Average of on State and Off State), UPDRS Part 3 Sum Score (on State), and UPDRS Part 4 Sum Score

    Mean change (LOCF) from baseline in total of UPDRS Part 1 sum score, UPDRS Part 2 sum score (average of on state and off state), UPDRS Part 3 sum score (on state), and UPDRS Part 4 sum score.

    A decrease in the scores means improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing

  9. The Modified Hoehn & Yahr Severity of Illness

    Change (LOCF) from baseline in the Modified Hoehn \& Yahr Severity of Illness. The Modified Hoehn \& Yahr criteria are measured on the following 8-point scale for staging: 0, No signs of disease; 1, Unilateral disease; 1.5, Unilateral plus axial involvement; 2, Bilateral disease without impairment of balance; 2.5, Mild bilateral disease with recovery on pull test; 3, Mild to moderate bilateral disease, some postural instability, physically independent 4, Severe disability, still able to walk or stand unassisted; and 5, Wheelchair bound or bedridden unless aided.

    The data at week 52 is shown.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing.

  10. Each Item of UPDRS Part 1

    The percentage of subjects with elevated scores for each item of UPDRS Part 1. The data at week 52 is shown.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing.

  11. Each Item of UPDRS Part 2 (on State)

    The percentage of subjects with elevated scores for each item of UPDRS Part 2 (on state). The data at week 52 is shown.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing.

  12. Each Item of UPDRS Part 2 (Off State)

    The percentage of subjects with elevated scores for each item of UPDRS Part 2 (off state). The data at week 52 is shown.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing.

  13. Each Item of UPDRS Part 2 (Average of on State and Off State)

    The percentage of subjects with elevated scores for each item of UPDRS Part 2 (average of on state and off state). The data at week 52 is shown.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing.

  14. Total of UPDRS Part 2 Sum Score (Average of on State and Off State) and UPDRS Part 3 Sum Score (on State)

    Mean change (LOCF) from baseline in total of UPDRS Part 2 sum score (average of on state and off state) and UPDRS Part 3 sum score (on state).

    A decrease in the scores means improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing

  15. Each Item of UPDRS Part 3 (on State)

    The percentage of subjects with elevated scores for each item of UPDRS Part 3 (on state). The data at week 52 is shown.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing.

  16. Each Item of UPDRS Part 4

    The percentage of subjects with elevated scores for each item of UPDRS Part 4. The data at week 52 is shown.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 54 weeks after dosing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing SPM 962 in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 8 sites in Japan.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Japan. 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.

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 19 Mar 2014). 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?

Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs), Vital Signs, and Laboratory Parameters (time frame: Up to 55 weeks after dosing). 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 19 Mar 2014.
