Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Phase 4, Open-label Study to Assess the Feasibility and Efficacy on Motor and Non-motor Symptoms of Switching From Pramipexole or Ropinirole to Rotigotine Transdermal Patch in Subjects With Advanced Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (NCT NCT01711866)

NCT ID: NCT01711866

Last Updated: 2014-04-07

Results Overview

The CGI Item 4 was used to assess side effects. It ranges from 0 to 4 as follows: * 0 = Side effects not assessable * 1 = No side effects * 2 = Side effects do not significantly interfere with subject's functioning * 3 = Side effects significantly interfere with the subject's functioning * 4 = Side effects outweigh therapeutic efficacy.

Measure
Rotigotine
First application of Rotigotine patch for 24 hours on Day 1, followed by application of a new patch each day of the Treatment Period. * Subjects on lower doses switch from Pramipexole or Ropinirole to equivalence doses of Rotigotine on Day 1 of the 28 days Treatment Period. On Day 8 (Visit 3) the dose will be evaluated and potentially adjusted up to a maximum dose of 8 mg / 24 hours. * Subjects on higher doses switch from the equivalent dose to 8 mg / 24 hours Rotigotine of Pramipexole or Ropinirole to 8 mg / 24 hours Rotigotine on Day 1 and the remainder of the dose of Pramipexole or Ropinirole is to be switched on Day 8 of the 28 days Treatment Period. On Day 15 (Visit 4) the dose will be evaluated and potentially adjusted up to a maximum dose of 16 mg / 24 hours. Rotigotine: Rotigotine up to 16 mg / 24 hours, 4 weeks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 28 (Visit 5) of the 28 days Treatment Period or Early Withdrawal Visit

Population: All 87 subjects of the Safety Set are included in the analysis of this outcome measure. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) was used as a method of imputation for missing observations.

The CGI Item 4 was used to assess side effects. It ranges from 0 to 4 as follows: * 0 = Side effects not assessable * 1 = No side effects * 2 = Side effects do not significantly interfere with subject's functioning * 3 = Side effects significantly interfere with the subject's functioning * 4 = Side effects outweigh therapeutic efficacy.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 28 (Visit 5) of the 28 days Treatment Period or Early Withdrawal Visit

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) with Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) as a method of imputation for missing observations. FAS includes all subjects with at least 1 patch application during Treatment Period, and with an evaluable UPDRS Part III total score at Baseline and at least 1 valid value after Baseline to Day 35.

The PGIC is a 7-point categorical rating scale in which the subject rates the changes in functioning over time as follows: * 1 = Very much improved * 2 = Much improved * 3 = Minimally improved * 4 = No change * 5 = Minimally worse * 6 = Much worse * 7 = Very much worse.
