Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 22 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Individuals with levodopa responsive Parkinson's disease that are not adequately controlled by medication.

Who may be able to join

  • Indication of DBS for PD consistent with the country specific approved labeling.
  • Levodopa-responsive Parkinson's disease (UPDRS III ≥ 30% improvement on Levodopa challenge test).
  • Symptoms treatable by medications but not adequately controlled with medications (with persistent disabling symptoms, such as motor fluctuations, dyskinesia).
  • At least 22 years old.
  • Screening cranial MRI, performed within 12 months of entry into the study, that is normal or with a non-significant abnormality that does not present any incremental risks or concerns for the patient as a result of the DBS procedure.
  • Understand potential risk/benefit, consent to the study, study procedures, and agree to complete the study follow-up visits and comply with the study protocol requirements.

Who cannot join

  • Secondary Parkinson's disease, atypical syndromes.
  • Previous stereotactic functional neurosurgery or ablative therapy (e.g., pallidotomy, subthalamotomy), surgical contraindications related to DBS.
  • Dementia (Mattis Dementia Rating Scale ≤ 130), major depression with suicidal thoughts (Beck Depression Inventory II > 25), acute psychosis, active alcohol or drug abuse, terminal illness, and any major medical or psychological histories, diagnoses, conditions, or comorbidities that would interfere with participation in the study per the investigator's medical judgment.
  • Electrical or electromagnetic implant (e.g., Cochlear prosthesis, cardiac pacemaker).
  • Surgical or medical contraindications to DBS surgery or therapy (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension, advanced coronary artery disease).
  • Participation in a drug, device, or biologics trial within the preceding 30 days that may confound the study results.
  • Pregnant female.

About this study

Official title: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's Disease International Study (REACH-PD)

To gather data on DBS Therapy effectiveness in different geographic populations.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this prospective open label post market study of DBS for PD is to gather data on DBS therapy effectiveness as measured by clinician and patient reported health outcomes data through one year of follow-up in different geographic populations.

What participants receive

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

  • Medtronic DBS Therapy for Parkinson's diseaseDevice

    Also called Medtronic Activa DBS System

    Bilateral Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the Subthalamic Nucleus or Globus Pallidus interna.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Parkinson's disease-related quality of life, as measured by the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8).

    Measured: Baseline to 12 months

  2. Change in motor score, as measured by the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) III, off medication

    Measured: Baseline to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by MedtronicNeuro at 15 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 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 20 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Brazil, China. 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?

Change in Parkinson's disease-related quality of life, as measured by the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8). (time frame: Baseline to 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02937688, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Oct 2022.
