Trial summary

Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is observed in 30 to 50 % of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). It is a major complain and represents a socially relevant problem as unintended episodes of sleep can also occur while driving for example. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Post-prandial Hypotension and Sleepiness in Parkinson's Disease and Other Synucleinopathies: the Model of an Oral Glucose Load

Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is observed in 30 to 50 % of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). It is a major complain and represents a socially relevant problem as unintended episodes of sleep can also occur while driving for example. Arterial hypotension is frequently observed in patients with PD, DLB and MSA and considered as a marker of autonomic failure. Sleepiness is known to occur preferentially when patients are having arterial hypotension whatever the cause (i.e. postprandial period, administration of hypotensive medication such as dopamine agonists). We hypothesize that arterial hypotension is associated with abnormal sleepiness. We have observed this association in an on-going epidemiological survey Hyperglycaemia induced by oral glucose load - a standardized model simulating food intake during a meal - provokes arterial hypotension in the majority of Parkinson's disease patients with dysautonomia. It can be hypothesised that sleep attacks in these patients could be mediated by this fall in blood pressure.

Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is observed in 30 to 50 % of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). It is a major complain and represents a socially relevant problem as unintended episodes of sleep can also occur while driving for example. The exact pathophysiology of EDS in PD, DLB and MSA has not been fully elucidated so far, although pharmacological factors (dopaminergic medications) and pathological factors (neurodegeneration of sleep-wakefulness regulatory areas) have been identified. Arterial hypotension is frequently observed in patients with PD, DLB and MSA and considered as a marker of autonomic failure. Sleepiness is known to occur preferentially when patients are having arterial hypotension whatever the cause (i.e. postprandial period, administration of hypotensive medication such as dopamine agonists). We hypothesize that arterial hypotension is associated with abnormal sleepiness. We have observed this association in an on-going epidemiological survey (COPARK Cohort of 800 PD patients, manuscript in preparation). Hyperglycaemia induced by oral glucose load - a standardized model simulating food intake during a meal - provokes arterial hypotension in the majority of Parkinson's disease patients with dysautonomia. It can be hypothesised that sleep attacks in these patients could be mediated by this fall in blood pressure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of patients presenting a "sleep onset"

    Rate of patients presenting a "sleep onset", defined as the occurrence of at least 30 s of sleep at polysomnography or at patient's recall) with or without occurrence of hypotension (defined as a drop in systolic blood pressure level of at least 20 mmHg) during the 2 hours following oral glucose load or placebo fructose.

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. rate of patients without arterial hypotension nor a sleep episode within 120 minutes after oral solution administration ;

    rate of patients without arterial hypotension nor a sleep episode within 120 minutes after oral solution administration ;

    Measured: 120 minutes

  2. rate of patients that show a sleep episode but without arterial hypotension within 120 minutes after oral solution administration ;

    rate of patients that show a sleep episode but without arterial hypotension within 120 minutes after oral solution administration ;

    Measured: 120 minutes

  3. rate of patients that show arterial hypotension within 120 minutes after oral solution administration but not a sleep episode;

    rate of patients that show arterial hypotension within 120 minutes after oral solution administration but not a sleep episode;

    Measured: 120 minutes

  4. Occurrence of arterial hypotension and a sleep episode within 120 minutes following a standardized meal

    Occurrence of arterial hypotension (defined as a drop in systolic blood pressure level of at least 20 mmHg and a sleep episode (defined according to video-polygraphic parameters) within 120 minutes following a standardized meal (at lunch time)

    Measured: 120 minutes

  5. Changes in intestine-pancreatic neuropeptides including incretins (GLP-1 - GIP) following an oral glucose load, placebo fructose load, or standardized meal - correlation with the post-prandial BP drop.

    Changes in intestine-pancreatic neuropeptides including incretins (GLP-1 - GIP) following an oral glucose load, placebo fructose load, or standardized meal - correlation with the post-prandial BP drop.

    Measured: 120 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Parkinsonian Disorders, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 2 sites 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 11 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 25 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Rate of patients presenting a "sleep onset" (time frame: 2 hours). 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 25 Aug 2020.
