About this study

Official title: A Multinational, Multicentre, Prospective Non-interventional Study to Assess Safety and Effectiveness of Opicapone Plus Standard of Care in Elderly Patients With Parkinson's Disease

The purpose of this study is to describe the safety and efficacy of opicapone plus standard of care in elderly patients with PD in the real-world setting

Read the detailed description

This will be a multinational, multicentre, prospective non-interventional study in elderly patients with PD. Approximately 100 patients with PD will be recruited by specialists from approximately 37 sites in European countries. The total enrolment period will be one year, and each patient will be followed for up to one year after enrolment.

PD patients with end-of-dose motor fluctuations suitable for additional treatment optimization will be included in the study and split into 2 cohorts:

  • Cohort 1: 50 patients; standard of care (including L-DOPA) + starting opicapone
  • Cohort 2: 50 patients; standard of care (including L-DOPA Data will be collected at baseline (date of enrolment), 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months after enrolment.

This non-interventional study does not recommend the use of any specific treatments. Use of opicapone and of standard of care are only driven by the physician's decision.

Being tested
Opicapone, Levodopa (L-DOPA) + Standard care
Medical subject headings
Parkinson Disease

What participants receive

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

  • OpicaponeDrug

    Also called Ongentys

    Capsules, oral use - 50 mg Use of opicapone is only driven by the physician's decision.

  • Levodopa (L-DOPA) + Standard careDrug

    Levodopa (immediate- or controlled-release) + Standard care. Use of Levodopa and standard of care are only driven by the physician's decision.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients having at least one Adverse Event (AE)

    All AEs reporting

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I)

    hange of score from baseline at each follow-up visit (from 0=good health to 100=poor health).

    Measured: at Follow-up visit at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months

  2. Parkinson Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8)

    hange of score from baseline at each follow-up visit (from 0=good health to 100=poor health).

    Measured: at baseline, Follow-up visit at 6,12 months

  3. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)

    change from baseline at each follow-up visit for each of the 4 sections and for the total score (from 0=no disability to 199=total disability).

    Measured: at baseline, Follow-up visit at 6,12 months

  4. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)

    change from baseline at each follow-up visit (30-point test; score >26 is normal).

    Measured: at baseline, Follow-up visit at 6,12 months

  5. Patients' Global Impressions of Change (PGI-C)

    Percentage of patients for each item at each follow-up visit (from 1=very much improved since the initiation of treatment to 7=very much worse since the initiation of treatment).

    Measured: at Follow-up visit at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Bial - Portela C S.A. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 4 Oct 2021. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Percentage of patients having at least one Adverse Event (AE) (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 4 Oct 2021.
