Trial Outcomes & Findings for Global REsponsE During iNFusIon of a gEl With LevoDopa/Carbidopa (NCT NCT01754129)

NCT ID: NCT01754129

Last Updated: 2018-08-10

Results Overview

Section B of the UPDRS IV questionnaire consists of 4 individual items that assess the degree of clinical fluctuations. Item 39 is the percentage of "off" times (when PD symptoms are not adequately controlled by the drug) during the waking day. The Item 39 score ranges from 0 (None), 1 (1- 25% of the waking day), 2 (26 - 50% of the waking day), 3 (51 - 75% of the waking day), and 4 (76 - 100% of the waking day). The mean change from baseline was calculated as the score at the last available follow up visit minus the score at baseline/Visit 1. Negative change from baseline for "off" time indicates improvement.

Population: Evaluable population: participants with at least one post-baseline visit. Missing data at Visit 3 was replaced using Last Observation Carried Forward technique.

The UPDRS is an Investigator-used rating tool to follow the course of Parkinson's disease. Scores for dyskinesias, early-morning dystonia, and clinical fluctuations ("off" times when PD symptoms are not adequately controlled by the drug) were assessed by the sum of the Part A+B items, questions 32-39. Questions 32-34 and 39 are measured on a 5-point scale (0-4), with 0 being no disease and 4 representing severe disease. Higher scores indicate a greater duration of dyskinesia (Q32), disability (Q33), and pain (Q34), and proportion of the waking day spent in "off" (Q39). Questions 35-38 are scored on a binary scale where 0= no and 1=yes, with higher scores indicating a higher incidence of early morning dystonia, and a higher degree of clinical fluctuations. The total score ranges from 0 (normal) to 20 (severe disease). Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement.

The UPDRS is an Investigator-used rating tool to follow the course of Parkinson's disease. The Part I Score is the sum of the answers to the 4 questions that comprise Part I, each of which are measured on a 5-point scale (0-4). The Part I score ranges from 0 to 16 and higher scores are associated with more disability. The Part II score is the sum of the answers to the 13 questions that comprise Part II, each of which are measured on a 5-point scale (0-4). The Part II score ranges from 0-52 and higher scores are associated with more disability. Scores for both "On" time (when PD symptoms are well-controlled by the drug) and "Off" time (when PD symptoms are not adequately controlled by the drug) are presented. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement.

The PDQ-39 is a self-administered questionnaire which comprises 39 items addressing 8 domains of health in PD. These include: mobility, activities of daily living, emotional well-being, stigma, social support, cognition, communication, and bodily discomfort. The total score is between 0 and 156, calculated as the total sum of the items, and higher scores are associated with more severe symptoms. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement.
