Trial Outcomes & Findings for Investigation of the Efficacy and Safety of IncobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) in Parkinson's Tremor: A Customized Approach (NCT NCT02419313)

NCT ID: NCT02419313

Last Updated: 2016-03-14

Results Overview

The primary outcome measure in this protocol is significant improvement of tremor (equal or over 2 grade improvement) of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale 4 weeks after Xeomin injection. The score is 0 to 4 , ) being no tremor and 4 severe tremor. The higher the score, the more severe the tremor.

Placebo First, Then Incobotulinumtoxin A
Subjects will all receive injections with saline first. At 12 weeks, these subjects will then cross over and receive Xeomin in the same distribution as their second treatment.

The primary outcome measure in this protocol is significant improvement of tremor (equal or over 2 grade improvement) of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale 4 weeks after Xeomin injection. The score is 0 to 4 , ) being no tremor and 4 severe tremor. The higher the score, the more severe the tremor.

Measure
Placebo, Saline
n=30 Participants
Subjects randomized to receive the placebo ( saline) will receive an equivalent volume as the active study drug (1cc). The injections will be into -10 hand and forearm muscles. A series of rating scale and an examination will take place prior to treatment and at 4 and 8 weeks post treatment. The subject will then cross over to an Active Intervention arm to receive incobotulinumtoxinA which will be injected in the same pattern as the saline. Saline: same volume as injected for incobotulinum toxin A into forearm muscles under EMG guidance.
incobotulinumtoxinA, Xeomin
n=30 Participants
Subjects will all receive injections with incobotulinumtoxinA injections, 100unit/cc into 6-10 muscles of the forearm. A series of rating scale and an examination will take place prior to treatment and at 4 and 8 weeks post treatment. These subjects will then cross over and receive placebo ( saline) in the same distribution as their second treatment. incobotulinumtoxinA: Subjects randomized to the active drug intervention arm will receive incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin). A series of rating scales and examinations will take place prior to treatment and for 24 weeks after treatment. At 12 weeks the subjects will cross over to the placebo (saline) arm.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

The PGIC is a 7 point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the patient's pain has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention. and rated as: No change (or condition has gotten worse) (1) Almost the same, hardly any change at all (2) A little better, but no noticeable change (3) Somewhat better, but the change has not made any real difference (4) Moderately better, and a slight but noticeable change (5) Better and a definite improvement that has made a real and worthwhile difference (6) A great deal better and a considerable improvement that has made all the difference (7)improved This outcome is number of patients who chose a 6 or above on the PGIC 6 weeks after treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 Weeks

This scale measures the amplitude of the tremor. For instance tremor of more than 4cm oscillation is grade 4. UPDRS tremor scale is 0-4 , 4 being severe tremor. Significant improvement for this protocol considered two grades of improvement .
