Trial Outcomes & Findings for REQUIP (Ropinirole Hydrochloride) IR Long-Term Phase 4 Study (NCT NCT00485069)

NCT ID: NCT00485069

Last Updated: 2010-12-15

Results Overview

The Japanese UPDRS assesses the status of Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients objectively. Part III assesses motor examination on 27 items. Participants receive a score of 0-4 points per item. The maximum total score is 108 points. A higher score indicates more severe PD symptoms. "On" state is where PD symptoms are well controlled by the drug. Participants with "off" state at baseline or without post-baseline data were not included in the ROP+L-dopa group at FAP. These participants as well as one with "off" state at Week 52 and those prematurely withdrawn were not included at Week 52.

Participant Flow

52 weeks of Treatment Phase, consisting of 4 weeks of Fixed Titration Phase and 48 weeks of Flexible Titration and Maintenance Phase, was started after 1 to 4 weeks of Screening Phase. Although the results are presented by participants with and without L-dopa, this study was a single-arm design, and L-dopa was not the investigational product.

ROP+L-Dopa
Participants received ropinirole hydrochloride (ROP) tablets 3 times daily. In the 4-week Fixed Titration Phase (from Week 0 as Baseline), the dose started at 0.75 milligrams (mg)/day and was increased weekly by 0.75 mg/day up to 3.0 mg/day. In the 48-week Flexible Titration and Maintenance Phase, the dose was increased by 1.5 mg/day at intervals of at least 1 week up to a maximum of 15.0 mg/day. The dose was maintained at a level without further symptomatic improvement expected. The dosing regimen of L-dopa remained unchanged from 4 weeks prior to the start of the Screening Phase throughout the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 52, and FAP (up to Week 52)

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): all participants enrolled in the Treatment Phase, excluding those with objective measurements not meeting the major eligibility criteria, who did not receive ROP at all, and those with no valid post-baseline data. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used for the FAP data to impute post-baseline missing values.

The Japanese UPDRS assesses the status of Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients objectively. Part III assesses motor examination on 27 items. Participants receive a score of 0-4 points per item. The maximum total score is 108 points. A higher score indicates more severe PD symptoms. "On" state is where PD symptoms are well controlled by the drug.

Population: FAS. LOCF was used for the FAP data to impute post-baseline missing values.

These participants as well as those prematurely withdrawn in each group were not included at Week 52.

The maximum total score is 16 points. A higher score indicates more severe mental symptoms. Percent change from baseline was calculated as (change from baseline score/baseline score) \* 100; change from baseline was calculated as thescore at the observation day minus the baseline score.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 52, and FAP (up to Week 52)

Population: FAS. LOCF was used for FAP data. Some participants were not included at FAP as having a baseline value of zero, having no post-baseline data in "on" state, not having "off" state at baseline in "off" state, or having no data at Week 52/withdrawal in "off" state. These participants as well as those prematurely withdrawn were not included at Week 52.

The Japanese UPDRS assesses the status of PD patients objectively. Part II assesses activities of daily living on 13 items. Participants receive a score of 0-4 points per item. The maximum total score is 52 points. A higher score indicates more severe PD symptoms. "On" state is where PD symptoms are well controlled by the drug. "Off" state is where PD symptoms are not adequately controlled by the drug. Percent change from baseline was calculated as (change from baseline score/baseline score) \* 100; change from baseline was calculated as thescore at the observation day minus the baseline score.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 52, and FAP (up to Week 52)

Population: FAS. LOCF was used for the FAP data. Some participants were not included at FAP as having no post-baseline data in "on" state, not having "off" state at baseline in "off" state, or having no data in the corresponding state at Week 52/withdrawal. These participants as well as those prematurely withdrawn were not included at Week 52.

The Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living Scale Score is measured as percentage, from 100% (Completely independent. Able to do all chores without slowness, difficulty or impairment. Essentially normal. Unaware of any difficulty) to 0% (Vegetative functions such as swallowing, bladder and bowel functions are not functioning. Bedridden).

Participants received ROP tablets 3 times daily. In the 4-week Fixed Titration Phase (from Week 0 as Baseline), the dose started at 0.75 mg/day was increased weekly by 0.75 mg/day up to 3.0 mg/day. In the 48-week Flexible Titration and Maintenance Phase, the dose was increased by 1.5 mg/day at intervals at least 1 week up to a maximum of 15.0 mg/day. The dose was maintained at a level without further symptomatic improvement expected. The dosing regimen of L-dopa remained unchanged from 4 weeks prior to the start of the Screening Phase throughout the study.

"Off" state is where PD symptoms are not adequately controlled by the drug. "On" state is where PD symptoms are well controlled by the drug. The "off's" duration (awake time spent "off") and the "on's" duration (awake time spent "on") on each day were calculated.
