Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44235   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7336   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To compare the efficacy of one dose strength (4 mg) of E2007 with that of placebo on motor function in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who are on optimised and stabilised therapy and experience end-of-dose “wearing off” motor fluctuations.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    To demonstrate that the efficacy of entacapone on motor function in patients with PD who are on optimised and stabilised therapy and experience end-of-dose “wearing off” motor fluctuations, is consistent with what has been reported in other clinical trials.

    To compare the safety and tolerability of E2007 to that of placebo.

    Other:
    To assess the efficacy of E2007 on levodopa induced dyskinesias as measured by the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Score (UPDRS) part IV dyskinesia items and the patient diary.
    To compare the effects of E2007 to that of placebo on levodopa
    use.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1. Male or female patients with idiopathic PD fulfilling the (United Kingdom [UK])
    Parkinson’s disease Society Brain Bank diagnostic criteria, with a good response to levodopa.
    2. Patients must have been diagnosed with idiopathic PD at ≥ 30 years of age. In
    addition the onset of symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease must have
    occurred ≥ 30 years of age.
    3. Patients must have predictable motor fluctuations of the wearing OFF type with the presence of at least 2 hrs of OFF time during the waking day (excluding the morning OFF time) as evidenced by diary cards completed at screening and confirmed by diary data collected in the 3-day diaries completed before randomisation.
    4. Before patients are randomised, they must be able to show that they are able to
    accurately complete the diary cards. During the diary-training period at Screening
    Visit 1, there must be diary evidence of at least one transition of OFF to ON or from
    ON to OFF.
    5. Patients must rate between II-IV on the Hoehn &Yahr scale when in an OFF state.
    6. Patients must be taking optimised levodopa (plus dopamine decarboxylase inhibitors [DDI]) therapy (according to the Investigator’s opinion) at least 3 times during the waking day (not including bedtime/night time dose) up to a maximum of 8 doses daily (including bedtime/night time dose).
    7. Patients who are treated with DA or MAOB inhibitors or other anti-PD drugs must be on optimised and stable doses for at least 4 weeks prior to the Screening visit and must remain stable throughout the study. (revised per Amendment 02) Only levodopa dosage can be adjusted downwards in the first 6 weeks of the double-blind treatment phase.
    8. In the Investigator’s opinion, patients must be able to distinguish their own motor
    states and the absence or presence of troublesome or non-troublesome dyskinesias.
    9. In the Investigator’s opinion, patients are able to complete the study including the completion of the home diary cards and are capable of giving full written informed consent.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Pregnant or lactating women.
    2. Women of child-bearing potential unless infertile (including surgically sterile) or
    practicing effective contraception (e.g. abstinence, intrauterine device or barrier
    method plus hormonal method). These patients must have a negative serum β-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-HCG) test at the initial screening visit (Visit 1) and a negative urine pregnancy test at the baseline visit (Visit 3). These patients must also be willing to remain on their current form of contraception for the duration of the
    study. Postmenopausal women may be recruited but must be amenorrhoeic for at
    least 1 year to be considered of non-child-bearing potential as determined by the
    Investigator.
    3. Patients with a past or present history of drug or alcohol abuse as per Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th edition; DSM IV) criteria.
    4. Patients with a past (within 1 year) or present history of psychotic symptoms
    requiring anti-psychotic treatment. Patients may be taking anti-depressant
    medication; however, the dose must be stable for 4 weeks prior to the Screening visit.
    Use of anti-psychotic medication including clozapine and quetiapine is prohibited.
    5. Patients with a past (within 1 year) or present history of major depression, suicidal
    ideation or suicide attempts.
    6. Patients with unstable abnormalities of the hepatic, renal, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastro-intestinal, haematological, endocrine or metabolic systems that might complicate assessment of the tolerability of the study medication.
    7. Patients who have a past or present history of liver impairment, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis or pheochromocytoma.
    8. Patients with significantly elevated liver enzymes (abnormal bilirubin or serum
    transaminase levels of more than 1.5 times the upper normal limit).
    9. Patients with current or prior treatment (within 4 weeks prior to the Screening visit) with medication known to induce the enzyme CYP3A4 (refer to Section 9.8.2 for list of prohibited medications).
    10. Current or prior treatment (within 4 weeks prior to the Screening visit) with pergolide (only applies to patients entering after April 5, 2007), cabergoline (effective as of the date of the IRB/IEC approval of this amendment), tolcapone, methyldopa, budipine, reserpine, quetiapine or intermittent use of either liquid forms of levodopa or subcutaneous apomorphine. (revised per Amendment 02)
    11. Current treatment with non selective MAOA/B or combination of selective MAOA
    and selective MAOB inhibitors.
    12. Patients with a known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the
    excipients of entacapone.
    13. Patients with previous stereotactic surgery (e.g. pallidotomy) for PD or with planned stereotactic surgery during the study period.
    14. Patients receiving or with planned (next 6 months) deep brain stimulation.
    15. Patients who have received entacapone previously or are currently using entacapone.
    16. Patients who have received an investigational product within 4 weeks prior to the Screening visit or patients who have participated in a previous study with E2007.
    (revised per Amendment 02)
    17. Patients with clinically significant cognitive impairment (Mini-Mental State
    Examination [MMSE] <24 or fulfilling DSM IV criteria for dementia due to PD).
    18. Patients with conditions affecting the peripheral or central sensory system unless
    related to PD (such as mild sensory or pain syndromes limited to OFF periods) that
    could interfere with the evaluation of any such symptoms caused by the study drug.
    19. Patients with any condition that would make the patient, in the opinion of the
    Investigator, unsuitable for the study.
