About this study

Official title: Behavioural Addictions Occurring During a Dopaminergic Treatment Prescribe Under Parkinson's Disease: Study of the Psychopathological, Neurological, Pharmacokinetic and Genetic Profiles.

This study is composed of a main study and an ancillary one. The objective of the main study is to define, on the psychopathological, neurological, pharmacokinetic and genetic plan, the predictive factors for developing a behavioural addiction (BA) secondarily to the dopaminergic treatment, associated or not to a dopamine dysregulation syndrome (DDS), in patients with Parkinson's disease.

3 particular profiles of patients will be established:

Read more
  • BA- : no secondary behavioural addiction
  • BA+/DDS-: secondary behavioural addiction, without dopamine dysregulation syndrome
  • BA+/DDS+: secondary behavioural addiction, with dopamine dysregulation syndrome

We wish in particular:

  • To differentiate, among the BA+ subjects, those for who is a DDS from those for who we can evoke a side effect of the dopaminergic treatment
  • To demonstrate that the BA+/DDS- subjects present pharmacokinetic particularities causing the occurrence of the BA.
  • To clarify the possible relationship between the dosage and the pharmacodynamics of the treatment (especially that of pramipexole) in one hand, and the developing of BA in the other hand.
  • Demonstrate that the subjects BA + / DDS- are individually genetic vulnerability (related to the dopamine system), originally from the occurrence of the BA.

This study has several levels of evaluation, we chose describe the methodology of the study in 3 axis : Psychopathology axis, Neurological axis and pharmacokinetic axis.

The pharmacokinetic aspects will be studied only on a part of the sample, in an ancillary study centered on the pharmacokinetic of the pramipexole (in its immediate release form).

Read the detailed description

This is a monocentric study with a recruitment period comprised between October 2012 and April 2016. The recruitment occurs during the consultations in the service of neurology. If the subjects are eligible, the study is proposed to them, and an evaluation is fixed in the next days. This evaluation consists in an individual face-to-face interview based on standardized and semi-structured questionnaires, during approximately one and a half hour. It's focused on the different characteristics of Parkinson's disease, and on psychiatric and addictive co morbidities. The evaluation is completed by a set of self-administered questionnaires focused on impulsivity and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

For the 80 patients participated to the ancillary study only, a blood sample will be realized when the patient will arrived, just before the intake of his treatment (to obtain the residual plasmatic concentration). A second sample will be realized at a different time for each patient, to cover the entirety of the kinetic between 2 intakes of pramipexole (immediate release form) via the entire sample. The second blood sample will be realized four hours after the first one at the most. After this second sample, the patient will have completed his participation to the study.

Secondly, monitoring including a self-questionnaire booklet and a saliva sample will be offered to all patients who completed the initial visit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Psychopathological axis : score of sensation seeking (S Score) of the impulsivity questionnaire "UPPS"

    This choice is founded on the fact that patients suffering of DDS are described as being impulsive, misusing their anti-parkinsonism treatment in the purpose of stimulate themselves, suggesting they have a high level of sensation and novelty seeking.

  2. Pharmacological axis : Area under the curve of the pramipexole concentration

    Area under the curve of the pramipexole concentration in function of the time between 2 intakes of pramipexole.

  3. Neurological axis : Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) III score

    UPDRS III score, with axial under-score in ON and OFF DOPA (Parkinson's disease severity)

  4. Genetic axis : distribution of allele frequencies and genotypic

    Distribution of allele frequencies and genotypic

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing questionnaires in people with Parkinson's Disease and Secondary Behavioural Addiction, run by Nantes University Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 8 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 15 Feb 2018. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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?

Psychopathological axis : score of sensation seeking (S Score) of the impulsivity questionnaire "UPPS". The study lists 4 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 15 Feb 2018.
