Randomized Evaluation of the 24-Hour Coverage: Efficacy of Rotigotine

This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by UCB, October 2008

Sponsored by: UCB
Information provided by: UCB
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00474058
  Purpose

The objective of this trial is to assess the effects of rotigotine on the control of early morning motor function and sleep disorders compared to placebo in subjects with idiopathic Parkinsons´s disease. In addition, effects of rotigotine on specific nocturnal and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson´s disease will be evaluated.

Study Design:   Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Placebo Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:   Phase 3B, Multicenter, Multinational, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, 2-Arm Trial to Evaluate the Effect of the 24-Hour Transdermal Delivery of Rotigotine on the Control of Early Morning Motor Function, Sleep Quality, Nocturnal Symptoms, and Non-Motor Symptoms in Subjects With Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease

Further study details as provided by UCB:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Early morning motor performance; sleep quality [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of maintenance ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Nighttime symptoms [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of maintenance ]

Estimated Enrollment:   400
Study Start Date:   May 2007
Estimated Study Completion Date:   May 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date:   May 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental
Rotigotine transdermal patch
Drug: ROTIGOTINE
2mg/24h - 16mg/24h, once daily
2: Placebo Comparator Other: Placebo
placebo once daily

Detailed Description:

The objective of this trial is to assess the effects of rotigotine on the control of early morning motor function and sleep disorders compared to placebo in subjects with idiopathic Parkinsons´s disease. In addition, effects of rotigotine on specific nocturnal and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson´s disease will be evaluated.

After a Screening Period of up to 28 days subjects will be hospitalized for two nights. After the second overnight stay, subjects will be randomly assigned either to rotigotine patch or placebo patch. Afterwards patients will be titrated to their optimal dose. After subjects have reached their optimal dose (or the highest dose) they will be maintained on this dose for a certain period. At the end of maintenance the subjects will be hospitalized for two nights. Afterwards the doses will be continuously decreased.

Efficacy will be assessed by application of sleep quality scores, motor examination scores, and scores to evaluate non-motor symptoms of Parkinson. Safety assessments include adverse events, 12-lead electrocardiograms, blood pressure and heart rate assessments, and laboratory checks.

The last subject is planned to be enrolled in November 2008.
