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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 ).

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all SAEs, regardless of causality is located in the 'Reported AE section'. Safety population included any participant who received at least 1 dose of PTC589.

    Change From Baseline in Movement Disorder Society Sponsored Revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Score at Month 3
    End point description
    The MDS-UPDRS is a tool for monitoring the impact of Parkinson’s disease, the degree of disability caused, and complications from treatment. Part I (13 items) evaluates nonmotor experiences of daily living (nM-EDL); Part II (13 items) evaluates motor experiences of daily living (M-EDL; Part III (18 items) is a motor examination; Part IV (6 items) examines motor complications (for example, motor fluctuations and dyskinesias). Each item was rated on a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 (normal) to 4 (severe), with higher score indicating greater severity and more impairment. Total score for Part I (nM-EDL) and Part II (M-EDL) each ranges from 0-52; for Part III (motor examination) ranges from 0-72; and for Part IV (motor complications) ranges from 0-24; with higher scores in each range for all 4 parts reflecting greater severity. Efficacy intent-to-treat (EITT) population included any participant who received at least 1 dose of PTC589 and had a minimum of the Month 3 assessment.

    Change From Baseline in Non-motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) Total Score at Month 3
    End point description
    Non-motor symptoms were evaluated using the NMSS which was divided into 30 questions in 9 different domains including such symptoms as dribbling saliva, constipation, depression, sleep disorders, apathy, hallucinations and dementia. Symptoms were quantified based on their severity (using a scale of 0 [none] to 3 [severe]) and frequency (using a scale of 0 [rarely] to 4 [very frequent]). Total score derived from adding up the product of the frequency score times severity score for each of the 30 questions. Total score ranged from 0 to 360, with a lower score indicating fewer symptoms. EITT population included any participant who received at least 1 dose of PTC589 and had a minimum of the Month 3 assessment.

    Change From Baseline in Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire - 39 (PDQ-39) Score at Month 3
    End point description
    The PDQ-39 is a self-administered questionnaire for participants with Parkinson’s disease that has 39 questions grouped in 8 dimensions: mobility (items 1-10), activities of daily living (items 11-16), emotional well-being (items 17-22), stigma (items 23-26), social support (items 27-29), cognitions (items 30-33), communication (items 34-36), and bodily discomfort (items 37-39). Each item was scored on a 5-point Likert scale (0 to 4) to indicate the frequency of each event; 0 = never, 1 = occasionally, 2 = sometimes, 3 = often, and 4 = always or cannot do at all. Each dimension’s total score ranged from 0-100, with lower scores indicating better health, and higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. EITT population included any participant who received at least 1 dose of PTC589 and had a minimum of the Month 3 assessment.

    EQ-5D is a questionnaire designed to provide measures of health-related quality of life states, consisting of 5 domains (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). Each dimension has a 3 point response scale designed to indicate the level of the problem: 1 = no problems, 2 = some problems, 3 = extreme problems. A higher score indicated an increase in the level of problem. The EQ-5D also contains a visual analog scale (EQ-VAS), which records the respondent's self-rated health status on a vertical graduated visual analog scale ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). Higher score indicated improvement. EITT population included any participant who received at least 1 dose of PTC589 and had a minimum of the Month 3 assessment.

    Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Score
    End point description
    MoCA is a 30-point questionnaire for cognitive dysfunction. It assesses different cognitive domains: attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visuoconstructional skills, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation. Scores on the MoCA range from 0-30 with 26-30 indicating normal global cognition; 18-25 mild cognitive impairment; 10-17 moderate cognitive impairment; and <10 severe cognitive impairment. EITT population included any participant who received at least 1 dose of PTC589 and had a minimum of the Month 3 assessment. Here, 'Number analyzed' = participants with normal, mild, moderate, or severe cognition impairment. 'n' = participants evaluable for specified category. Data for a specific severity level was not collected if no evaluable participants were available. '99999' = data not available due to no participants.

    Each of the 21 items on BDI tool represent a depressive symptom. The symptoms are each scored on a 4-point Likert scale of 0 (symptom is absent) to 3 (symptom is severe). Scores for each symptom are added up to obtain the total scores for all 21 items, which are interpreted as follows 1-10 (normal); 11-16 (mild mood disturbance); 17-20 (borderline clinical depression); 21-30 (moderate depression); 31-40 (severe depression); and >40 (extreme depression). Participants with symptom score of 0 were not included in the summary. EITT population included any participant who received at least 1 dose of PTC589 and had a minimum of Month 3 assessment. 'Number analyzed' = participants with symptom score >1 for normal, mild, borderline, moderate, severe, or extreme depression. 'n' = participants evaluable for specified category.

    The MADRS is a clinician-rated tool for measuring changes in depressive symptom severity. Ten core symptoms and cognitive features (feelings of sadness, lassitude, pessimism, inner tension, suicidality, reduced sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, and a lack of interest) were rated on a severity scale of 0 (no symptoms)) to 6 (symptoms of maximum severity). The total score was the sum of the scores on the 10 items, ranging from 0 to 60 with a higher score indicating increasing depressive symptoms. EITT population included any participant who received at least 1 dose of PTC589 and had a minimum of the Month 3 assessment.

    Change From Baseline in Time to Complete Time Up and Go (TUG) Test in ON State at Month 3
    End point description
    Timed motor tests are simple, objective, quantitative measures for the assessment of Parkinson’s disease. They include, in on-medication and off-medication state, timed recorded physical movements. Time Up and Go Test (TUG) is one of timed motor tests which is used to assess a person’s mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance. This is a walking assessment. Participants start in the seated position, stand up, walk 7 meters, turn around, and sit back down. The entire process from leaving the chair to returning to the chair was timed. The total time was summarized under ON state with participants on dopamine therapy. EITT population included any participant who received at least 1 dose of PTC589 and had a minimum of the Month 3 assessment. Here, 'Overall number of participants analyzed' signifies participants evaluable for this outcome measure.
