Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Examine APL-130277 in Patients With Parkinson's Disease (NCT NCT02228590)

NCT ID: NCT02228590

Last Updated: 2020-07-30

Results Overview

Clinical confirmation of an 'OFF' state was assessed prior to dosing and confirmation of 'OFF' or 'ON' was assessed after dosing at Visits 3 - 5 by the Investigator. The first full 'ON' dose was defined as the earliest dose in which a patient achieved a full 'ON' state as assessed by the Investigator. The percentage of patients who achieved their first full 'ON' is presented for each timepoint, regardless of the dose received, and for the study overall (i.e. all post-dose timepoints).

Participant Flow

Patients with moderate to advanced Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (PD) were recruited to this study in 4 study sites in the United States from August 2014. The study was completed in November 2014.

23 patients were screened, 20 were assigned to treatment and 1 withdrew consent prior to treatment. 19 received APL-130277 APL-130277 sublingual film for the acute intermittent treatement of OFF episodes in PD patients . Doses studied were 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 milligrams (mg).

APL-130277
At each dosing visit patients were assessed in a 'OFF' state by withholding their PD medication the night before, a dose of APL-130277 was administered. If the patient did not convert to a full 'ON' state within 3 hours and did not experience orthostatic hypotension, the next higher dose of APL-130277 was administered. If the patient did not turn ON with the next higher dose, levodopa was administered and completed their visit. Possible administered doses of APL-130277 were 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 mg. Dosing Day 1: The starting dose was 10 mg APL-130277, and if no response 15 mg was administered. Dosing Day 2: Either the dose which elicited a response (i.e. an 'ON' state) at Day 1 was administered or the next higher dose (20 mg) was given. If no response occurred at 20 mg APL-130277, 25 mg was administered. Dosing Day 3: Either the dose which elicited a response at Day 2 was administered or the next higher dose (30 mg). If no response occurred at 30 mg the patient was discontinued.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after dosing at Visits 3 - 5.

Population: The modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Population consisted of all patients who received at least 1 dose of study medication.

Clinical confirmation of an 'OFF' state was assessed prior to dosing and confirmation of 'OFF' or 'ON' was assessed after dosing at Visits 3 - 5 by the Investigator. The first full 'ON' dose was defined as the earliest dose in which a patient achieved a full 'ON' state as assessed by the Investigator.

Population: The mITT Population consisted of all patients who received at least 1 dose of study medication, and data is presented for patients who turned 'ON'.

Clinical confirmation of 'OFF' or 'ON' was assessed after dosing at Visits 3 - 5 by the Investigator. The time to the full 'ON' state from the time of dosing in minutes was calculated from timings noted by the Investigator and recorded in the electronic case report form (eCRF). The mean time taken for a patient to reach their first full 'ON' state following administration of APL-130277 is presented for patients who turned 'ON' for the study overall.

Population: Blood draws for APL-130277 PK analyses were collected at select sites only. The PK Population consisted of all patients who had sufficient concentration-time data to derive noncompartmental PK parameters.

The mean Cmax values are presented for each dosage administered at Visits 3, 4, and 5 for which data was available. Plasma concentrations of the active substance of APL-130277, apomorphine, were analysed using a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay, with a lower limit of quantification of 0.020 nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Just prior to dosing and at 10, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after each dose at Visits 3 - 5.

Population: Blood draws for APL-130277 PK analyses were collected at select sites only. The PK Population consisted of all patients who had sufficient concentration-time data to derive noncompartmental PK parameters.

The mean AUClast values are presented for each dosage administered at Visits 3, 4, and 5 for which data was available. Plasma concentrations of the active substance of APL-130277, apomorphine, were analysed using a validated LC-MS/MS assay, with a lower limit of quantification of 0.020 ng/mL. The AUClast was calculated by a combination of linear and logarithmic trapezoidal methods (linear up/log down method).

n=8 Participants
At each dosing visit patients were assessed in a 'OFF' state by withholding their PD medication the night before, a dose of APL-130277 was administered. If the patient did not convert to a full 'ON' state within 3 hours and did not experience orthostatic hypotension, the next higher dose of APL-130277 was administered. If the patient did not turn ON with the next higher dose, levodopa was administered and completed their visit. Possible administered doses of APL-130277 were 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 mg. Dosing Day 1: The starting dose was 10 mg APL-130277, and if no response 15 mg was administered. Dosing Day 2: Either the dose which elicited a response (i.e. an 'ON' state) at Day 1 was administered or the next higher dose (20 mg) was given. If no response occurred at 20 mg APL-130277, 25 mg was administered. Dosing Day 3: Either the dose which elicited a response at Day 2 was administered or the next higher dose (30 mg). If no response occurred at 30 mg the patient was discontinued.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes after dosing at Visits 3 - 5.

Population: The mITT Population consisted of all patients who received at least 1 dose of study medication.

The Motor Function section (Section III) of the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) included 33 scores based on 18-items, each anchored with 5 responses: 0 = normal, 1 = slight, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe. The scale range was from 0 to 132, with a lower score indicating better motor function and a higher score indicating more severe motor symptoms. The percent change in the MDS-UPDRS Section III score from pre-dose to the first full ON dose or last dose for non-responders is presented. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement.
