About this study

Official title: Dopaminergic Mechanism of Temporal Working Memory Impairment in Parkinson's Disease

The cognitive impairment of Parkinson's disease is non amnestic, which is characterized by working memory impairment and executive dysfunction. The current drug therapy (such as levodopa, dopamine receptor agonists) and surgical treatment (such as deep brain electrical stimulation, thalamic lesion) not only can not effectively alleviate cognitive impairment, but also may aggravate cognitive and speech behavior abnormalities. This project will explore how dopamine regulates temporal working memory in human research by combining drug intervention, neuroimaging and cognitive tasks.

Read the detailed description

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease in the elderly. The incidence rate of China's disease is 1.7% in the population over 65 years old. The latest research shows that Parkinson's disease is not a simple motor disorder, but a multi organ dysfunction disorder with both motor symptoms and non motor symptoms. With the development of the disease, more than 80% of the PD patients will develop dementia. Different from the amnestic cognitive impairment of Alzheimer's disease, the cognitive impairment of Parkinson's disease is non amnestic, characterized by working memory impairment and executive dysfunction. The current mainstream drug therapy (such as levodopa, dopamine receptor agonists) and surgical treatment (such as deep brain electrical stimulation, thalamic lesion) can not effectively alleviate cognitive impairment, and may even aggravate cognitive and speech behavior abnormalities, We should first understand the neurochemical (molecular) mechanisms of working memory impairment and executive dysfunction in Parkinson's disease. A prospective single blind randomized controlled design was used. Newly diagnosed PD patients were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: Madopar monotherapy group (n = 50), senfrol monotherapy group (n = 50) and placebo group (n = 50). Objective to study the performance of temporal working memory in PD patients and reveal the dopaminergic mechanism of temporal working memory.

What participants receive

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

  • Madopar monotherapyDrug

    In addition to basic treatment, the patient also received Madopar treatment

  • senfrol monotherapyDrug

    In addition to the basic treatment, the patient also received the rofosson treatment

  • placebo monotherapyDrug

    In addition to basic treatment, the patient also received selegiline treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of cognition function

    The score of MontrealCognitiveAssessment(MoCA),ranging from 0-30,with higher socre means better outcome

    Measured: 12 months after the trail

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Task state fMRI scanning

    Measured: Before drug treatment

  2. Task state fMRI scanning

    Measured: 4 weeks after receiving drug treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Madopar monotherapy and senfrol monotherapy in people with Parkinson Disease and Memory Impairment, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 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 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. 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yingshuang Zhang (18511650863, zhangys0317@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of cognition function (time frame: 12 months after the trail). 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 20 Jul 2021.
