MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
1. Assess the sensitivity of numerous outcome measures to detect change in dyskinesia and identify the best scale(s) that separate(s) amantadine treatment from placebo. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. Establish the magnitude of effect achievable with amantadine as a comparator “gold standard” that must be met or surpassed by future anti-dyskinetic agents. 2. Detect the association between optimism/expectation (subjects and raters) and responsivity to change in dyskinesia rating scale outcomes. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Parkinson’s disease patient, defined by UK Brain Bank criteria 2. Current age between 30-90 3. Clinically pertinent dyskinesias defined by CGI-s score (see attachment) > 3 (mild) established by clinician’s total assessment of patient including objective observation during the screening process. 4. Presence of a caregiver willing to participate in the study 5. Subjects/caregivers must demonstrate the capacity to complete an accurate home diary based on training and evaluation during the screening period (see attached training rules). 6. Subjects must be able to provide written informed consent. 7. In the opinion of the enrolling investigator, the subject will be able to maintain current dosing schedule of antiparkinsonian drugs for the duration of the trial. 8. The subject must be willing to participate in all study related activities and visits |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Documentation of creatinine level at screening evaluation that is not within the normal range for the local university laboratory. 2. Doses of all antiparkinsonian medications have not been stable for at least 4 weeks 3. Treatment with amantadine in the last 3 months. 4. Prior amantadine treatment was stopped due to adverse event. 5. Prior brain surgery. 6. Other major illnesses that could be complicated by amantadine exposure, including glaucoma, current hallucinations, urinary retention 7. Dementia, depression or psychosis. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary Outcome Measures: Difference in change score (BL vs end of study) on the various scales between amantadine and placebo groups. We will assess the effect size with each scale for detecting change from baseline and change between amantadine and placebo. These data will allow assessment of sensitivity and specificity for each scale based on receiver operator characteristics (ROC).
Secondary Outcome measures: 1. Differences in slope from BL to end of study (data will include the 4 week scores) between placebo and amantadine to determine which scales demonstrate sensitivity across time. 2. Change score differences between week 4 and 8 to measure stability of scales over two visits on stable doses of amantadine or placebo 3. (if sufficient number are maintained on 200 mg/day) Differences in change scores between 200 mg/day and 300 mg/day amantadine. (This analysis will be BL vs end of study) 4. Correlations among the scales 5. Correlations between scale values and CGI-s and correlations between scale changes and CGI-c.
Exploratory outcome measures 1. Determine the scale sensitivities for a MCRID analysis if there are sufficient numbers of patients with a CGI-c score of 3: “minimally improved” with the caveat that these ratings are based on a clinically important change in comparison to the comparison visit. |
