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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to provide, under well-controlled conditions, continued access to LCIG treatment to subjects who had already participated in an open-label efficacy and safety study with the same treatment (Study S187-3-003 [2006-000578-53], Study S187-3-004 [2006-005186-18]), and in whom the need for such continuation is indicated, as confirmed by periodic evaluation, until the product becomes commercially available.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Enrollment began in November 2009 and was completed in October 2012. Participants were enrolled at 61 sites in 11 countries: Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Israel, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, the Russian Federation, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    This study was an open-label extension study for participants with Parkinson's disease (PD) who had completed prior study S187.3.003 or S187.3.004. Participants were to receive continued access to levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) in the extension study until treatment became commercially available in their home country.

    Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel
    Arm description
    Participants received levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG), continuously administered through a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with jejunal extension tube (PEG-J) directly into the jejunum via a portable pump during 16 hours of wakefulness. Initial dosing was based on the dosing regimen that the participant received during the previous LCIG study. Dosing was individually optimized and adjusted as clinically indicated. In addition to a morning dose (to prime the intestinal tube and rapidly achieve the therapeutic dose level) of 5 to 10 mL (100 to 200 mg levodopa), and the continuous infusion usually 2 to 6 mL/hour (40 to 120 mg levodopa/hour), participants were allowed to self-administer additional doses of LCIG to address immediate subjective needs (eg, deterioration of motor function). Participants received LCIG until it became commercially available.

    Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events [1]
    End point description
    Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are defined as adverse events (AEs) which started on or after the date of the first LCIG Infusion in this study and within 30 days of the date of the last PEG-J exposure. At least possibly drug-related is defined as TEAEs assessed as having a "Possible," "Probable" or missing relationship to study drug. Serious AEs included any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect. The severity of all AEs was characterized as mild, moderate or severe according to the following definitions: Mild: usually transient and do not interfere with daily activities. Moderate: low level of inconvenience or concern to the subject, may interfere with daily activities. Severe: events interrupt the subject's usual daily activity.

    Change in Average Daily "Off" Time Based on the Parkinson’s Disease Symptom Diary at End of Treatment
    End point description
    The PD symptom diary asks participants (or their caregivers) to indicate their status upon waking and every 30 minutes during their normal waking time according to the following categories: asleep, "off", "on" without dyskinesia, "on" with non-troublesome dyskinesia, or "on" with troublesome dyskinesia. "Off" time was defined as time when medication had worn off and was no longer providing benefit with regard to mobility, slowness, and stiffness. PD diary times were normalized to a 16-hour waking day and averaged for the 3 days prior to each study visit. A negative change for "off" time indicates improvement. The PD diary assessment was implemented with Protocol amendment 4 (December 2013) for participants at United States (US) sites only.

"On" time is when medication is providing benefit with regard to mobility, slowness and stiffness. Dyskinesia is involuntary twisting, turning movements which are an effect of medication and occur during "on" time. Non-troublesome dyskinesia does not interfere with function or cause meaningful discomfort. "On" time without troublesome dyskinesia is the sum of "on" time without dyskinesia and "on" time with non-troublesome dyskinesia. PD diary times were normalized to a 16-hour waking day and averaged for the 3 days prior to each study visit. A positive change indicates improvement.

    Change in Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) Scores at End of Treatment
    End point description
    The PDQ-39 is a self-administered questionnaire that comprises 39 items addressing the following 8 domains of health that patients consider to be adversely affected by the disease: •Mobility (e.g., fear of falling when walking) - 10 questions; •Activities of daily living (ADL) - 6 questions; •Emotional well-being (EMO; e.g., feelings of isolation) - 6 questions; •Stigma (e.g., social embarrassment) - 4 questions; •Social support (SOC) - 3 questions; •Cognition - 4 questions; •Communication (COM) - 3 questions; •Bodily discomfort (BOD) - 3 questions. Each question is answered on a 5-point scale from 0 (Never) to 4 (Always / Cannot Do At All). Domain scores are calculated by summing the answers to the questions in the domain and then converting to a scale from 0 to 100. Higher scores are associated with the more severe symptoms of the disease such as tremor and stiffness. The PDQ-39 summary index includes responses to all 39 items. A negative change indicates improvement.

    Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel
    Reporting group description
    Participants received LCIG continuously administered through a PEG-J directly into the jejunum via a portable pump during 16 hours of wakefulness. Initial dosing was based on the dosing regimen that the participant received during the previous LCIG study. Dosing was individually optimized and adjusted as clinically indicated. In addition to a morning dose (to prime the intestinal tube and rapidly achieve the therapeutic dose level) of 5 to 10 mL (100 to 200 mg levodopa), and the continuous infusion usually 2 to 6 mL/hour (40 to 120 mg levodopa/hour), participants were allowed to self-administer additional doses of LCIG to address immediate subjective needs (eg, deterioration of motor function). Participants received LCIG until it became commercially available.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    28 Oct 2009
    Amendment 1 implemented the following non-administrative changes: ● The number of study sites has been changed from 20 to 30 to approximately 70 sites. The number of subjects (planned) was changed from approximately 100 to approximately 275 subjects. ● Clarification was made in the inclusion criteria to ensure that enrolled subjects were: (1) completers of Study S187-3-003 or Study S187-3-004, and (2) in the principal investigator's opinion, would continue deriving benefit from long-term LCIG treatment. Clarification was also made in exclusion criteria to exclude those subjects who, in the investigator's opinion, had clinically significant findings (medical, laboratory, psychiatric, or surgical issues) that would interfere with the subject's long-term participation. ● Changed the description of the total daily dose administration. Deleted "bolus" terminology in the morning bolus dose, the continuous maintenance dose, and extra bolus doses given as needed. ● Replacement of PEG-J was changed: Previous device labeling recommended an annual replacement. The new tube labeling no longer required annual replacement. It was to be replaced on the basis of the judgment of the study gastroenterologist and performed as per local practice. A yearly check by the study gastroenterologist was to be included in the schedule of assessments including an evaluation of the tube to ensure the functionality of the tube. ● The list of prohibited medication became less restrictive in recognition of the open-label nature of study treatment and due consideration given to the potential pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interaction with LCIG. ● The efficacy parameters, PD Diary, PDQ-39, and CGI-I, were removed from the clinical study protocol. A routine neurological exam was to be performed every 6 months to assess the continued benefit of LCIG treatment.
    27 Jul 2011
    Amendment 2 implemented the following non-administrative changes to ensure consistency within the protocol and LCIG program and to provide further clarifications of study design, assessments, and processes: ● Updated inclusion criteria. ● For Canada, subjects who either completed Study S187-3-004 or prematurely discontinued from Study S187-3-004 due to the study ending were allowed to participate in Study S187-3-005 with a minimum of 6 months of exposure to LCIG in Study S187-3-004. ● The laboratory assessments were changed to include markers indicative of vitamin deficiencies that could predispose subjects to polyneuropathy: folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, MMA, and homocysteine. ● Added a neurological examination. ● Added Laboratory Evaluations table. ● Specified a certified central laboratory, QLAB, to process and provide results for routine clinical laboratory tests throughout the study. Previously, no formal assessment of laboratory evaluations were scheduled, but were done as subject's condition mandated and was performed by a local lab as an element of routine care, and at the time of the subjects' discontinuation of the study.
