E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a lack of dopamine production due to the loss of dopamine producing cells in the substantia nigra. This lack of dopamine causes disruption of motor circuits in the brain resulting in motor function impairments like tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia. |
De ziekte van Parkinson is een progressieve neurodegeneratieve ziekte die wordt gekenmerkt door een tekortschietende dopamineproductie als gevolg van het verlies van dopamineproducerende cellen in de substantia nigra. Een tekort aan dopamine leidt tot de verstoring van motorische verbindingen in de hersenen. Dit resulteert in motorische functiestoornissen, zoals tremor, rigiditeit en bewegingstraagheid. |
|
E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder, caused by a lack of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. The main symptoms are shaking, stiffness and slowness of movement. |
Bij de ziekte van Parkinson is er een tekort aan het stofje dopamine in de hersenen, wat zorgt voor verstoringen van de manier van bewegen. De klachten zijn trillen, stijfheid en traag bewegen. |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine the duration until maximum effect is reached of inhaled levodopa on the improvement of motor function of Parkinson's disease patients during an off period. |
De bepaling van de duur tot het maximale effect is bereikt van inhaleerbare levodopa op de verbetering van de motorfunctie van Parkinson patiënten die zich in een off periode bevinden. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To determine to what extent the motor function of Parkinson's disease patients improves after inhalation of levodopa in comparison to oral levodopa. |
De bepaling in welke mate de motorfunctie van Parkinson patiënten verbetert na inhalatie van levodopa in vergelijking met oraal toegediende levodopa. |
|

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The UPDRS III score will be assessed pre-dose and on set time points up to 90 min post-dose as measure for motor function. The primary outcome is the time until the maximum effect on motor function (largest change in UPDRS III score) is found. |
De UPDRS III score wordt afgenomen voorafgaand aan toediening van de IMP en op gezette tijden tot 90 minuten na toediening als maat voor motorfunctie. De primaire uitkomstmaat is de tijd tot het maximale effect op de motorfunctie (grootste verandering in UPDRS III score) wordt gemeten. |

Op t = 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75 en 90 min na toediening |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The secondary outcome is the maximum change in UPDRS III score compared to baseline as measure for the extent of the improvement in motor function. |
De secondaire uitkomstmaat is de maximale verandering in UPDRS III score ten opzichte van de uitgangswaarde als maat voor de mate van verbetering in motorfunctie. |
