Trial Outcomes & Findings for Double-Blind, Multicenter, Sham Surgery Controlled Study of CERE-120 in Subjects With Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (NCT NCT00400634)

NCT ID: NCT00400634

Last Updated: 2022-11-10

Results Overview

The UPDRS (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale) is a clinical rating scale that assesses the symptomatic burden of Parkinson's Disease. The scale has four main sections, and each item is scored from a 0 to a 4 (higher number is more severe manifestation). Part III is a subsection devoted to motor function, has 14 questions, resulting in a score range of 0 (unaffected) to 56 (severely affected). The scale is administered by a trained clinician, and patients were assessed in a practically defined "off" condition, 12 hours or more after the last administration of medication.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from Baseline to 12 Month Visit

Population: Subjects who completed the end-of-study visit at month 12 and had no important protocol deviations that potentially could have affected the efficacy assessment of the study drug.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Change from Baseline to 18 Month Visit

Population: Subjects who completed the 12-month double-blind posttreatment period of the study continued to undergo double-blind assessments every 3 months until the last subject had completed the end-of-study visit at month 12. The LOCF method was used to impute data at month 18 for the subjects who had blinded data through month 15.
