Trial Outcomes & Findings for Long-term Extension Study Evaluating Extended Release Ropinirole XL (Formerly Referred to as Ropinirole CR) in Patients Who Already Completed Either Study 167 or 164 (NCT NCT00650104)

NCT ID: NCT00650104

Last Updated: 2013-05-06

Results Overview

The UPDRS is a clinician-based scale used to assess the longitudinal course of PD. Two of the six sections were assessed (Part II, Activities of Daily Living (ADL); Part III, Motor Examination). Both consist of a number of items (ADL, 13 items; Motor Exam., 17 items), and each item has a choice of 5 responses that are numerically scored 0-4, with 0 as the least severe response and 4 as the most severe response. ADL final score is a sum of the 13 items and may have a value between 0 (no impairment of overall activities) and 52 (severe impairment of overall activities). LTT, long-term treatment.

Participant Flow

Study 101468/196 (this study; NCT#00650104) was an open-label, ropinirole XL (2-24 mg/day), continuation study for participants with Parkinson's Disease who previously completed Studies 167 or 164. Treatment was originally designed to continue for 3 years, but it was extended until ropinirole XL became commercially available in each study country.

Ropinirole XL
Up-titration: some participants from Study 167 started at 2 milligrams (mg) ropinirole XL once daily. Then, depending on the response/tolerance of each participant, the dose was increased in 1 mg weekly increments to 4 mg, then 2 mg weekly increments up to 12 mg, and in either 2 mg or 4 mg weekly increments up to 24 mg to the clinical optimum dose. Other Study 167 participants were increased in 2 mg weekly increments up to 8 mg and then 4 mg weekly increments up to 24 mg. Study 164 particiapnts who were on an optimal dose of ropinirole XL could go straight into the long-term treatment period, and those who were receiving ropinirole IR could be switched to the corresponding XL dose. Long-term treatment: participants received study medication until market availability of ropinirole XL. After market availability, participants would undergo a 1-week down-titration period; after protocol amendment #4 approval, participants could switch directly to the market-available dose.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Every study visit from baseline to market availability (Month 78)

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of study medication. The treatment-emergent Study 196 AEs were defined as occurring during "initial titration" or "long-term treatment" or "follow up".

AEs, defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, were collected to obtain data on the safety, tolerability, and benefit of ropinirole XL. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), defined as AEs that are either fatal, life threatening, disabling/incapacitating, resulting in hospitalization or prolongation of a hospital stay, a congenital abnormality/birth defect, or any important medical occurrence that the investigator regards as serious based on medical judgment, were also collected. st. med., study medication.

The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale comprises the following three components (CGI-Severity, CGI-Improvement, Index); where only the CGI-S and CGI-I were assessed in this study. CGI-I is a global improvement scale that scores the clinician's view of the participant's global functioning prior to and after initiating a study medication from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). 2, much improved; 3, minimally improved; 4, no change; 5, minimally worse; 6, much worse.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 2, Month 12, Month 78

Population: Responder Population. Various "n" values are the result of participant attrition.

The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale comprises the following three components (CGI-Severity, CGI-Improvement, Index); where only the CGI-S and CGI-I were assessed in this study. CGI-I is a global improvement scale that scores the clinician's view of the participant's global functioning prior to and after initiating a study medication from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). 2, much improved; 3, minimally improved; 4, no change; 5, minimally worse; 6, much worse.

Ropinirole XL
n=56 Participants
Up-titration: some participants from Study 167 started at 2 milligrams (mg) ropinirole XL once daily. Then, depending on the response/tolerance of each participant, the dose was increased in 1 mg weekly increments to 4 mg, then 2 mg weekly increments up to 12 mg, and in either 2 mg or 4 mg weekly increments up to 24 mg to the clinical optimum dose. Other Study 167 participants were increased in 2 mg weekly increments up to 8 mg and then 4 mg weekly increments up to 24 mg. Study 164 particiapnts who were on an optimal dose of ropinirole XL could go straight into the long-term treatment period, and those who were receiving ropinirole IR could be switched to the corresponding XL dose. Long-term treatment: participants received study medication until market availability of ropinirole XL. After market availability, participants would undergo a 1-week down-titration period; after protocol amendment #4 approval, participants could switch directly to the market-available dose.

Ropinirole XL
n=83 participants at risk
Up-titration: some participants from Study 167 started at 2 milligrams (mg) ropinirole XL once daily. Then, depending on the response/tolerance of each participant, the dose was increased in 1 mg weekly increments to 4 mg, then 2 mg weekly increments up to 12 mg, and in either 2 mg or 4 mg weekly increments up to 24 mg to the clinical optimum dose. Other Study 167 participants were increased in 2 mg weekly increments up to 8 mg and then 4 mg weekly increments up to 24 mg. Study 164 particiapnts who were on an optimal dose of ropinirole XL could go straight into the long-term treatment period, and those who were receiving ropinirole IR could be switched to the corresponding XL dose.
