Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the neurodegenerative disease which is caused by Lewy bodies deposition in central and peripheral nervous system. The mains symptoms include both motor and non motor symptoms such as bradykinesia, rigidity, rest tremor, postural instability, autonomic dysfunction or neuropsychiatric symptoms. Moreover, the PD symptoms not only occur in the daytime, but also in the nighttime. The nighttime symptoms or nocturnal symptoms can make the patients disabling as well as the daytime symptoms. The bradykinesia that occurs in the nighttime is called nocturnal hypokinesia which also make many serious consequences such as bedsore, falling or aspiration or death.

In this study, the investigators aim to study the effects of rotigotine transdermal patch compare to placebo on mainly the aspect of nocturnal hypokinesia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators recruited PD patients who had history of nocturnal hypokinesia and randomized by running number (blind) into 2 groups including active and placebo group. Baseline demographic, disease characteristics, nocturnal questionnaires and wearable nocturnal sensors data were collected before drug titration. In active group, participants received the rotigotine transdermal patch titration from 2 mg/day to maximum dosage which participants had no side effect or 16 mg/ day every week. In placebo group, participants would get the placebo patch titration as the active group. After participants got maintenance dosage, participants would get the physical examination, nocturnal questionnaires and wearable nocturnal sensors as before study.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Active group is the group of PD patients who received rotigotine transdermal patch titration from 2 mg/day to maximum effect dose which participants had no side effect or reach 16 mg/day every week.

Placebo group is the group of PD patients who received the placebo patch titration every week the same protocol as the active group.

The active drugs and placebo were labeled from the company and the study nurse would give the drug to participants who were randomized.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patient (active) group

* Rotigotine titration up to 16 mg/24 hr
* Starting dose 2 mg/24 hr up titrate 2 mg weekly to optimal/maximum dose
* Duration up to 12 weeks
* The treatment was titrated until optimal dosage

* (that which patient/ caregiver felt that nocturnal hypokinesia and/or early morning akinesia was adequately controlled)
* (or patient can not tolerated the side effects such as dyskinesia)
* All previous dopaminergic medications were not allowed to adjusted during the study period.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Rotigotine

Intervention Type DRUG

Control (placebo) group

Placebo transdermal patch were titration with the same protocol as active group.

Duration up to 12 weeks

* The treatment (placebo patch) was titrated until optimal dosage

* (that which patient/ caregiver felt that nocturnal hypokinesia and/or early morning akinesia was adequately controlled)
* (or patient can not tolerated the side effects such as dyskinesia)
* All previous dopaminergic medications were not allowed to adjusted during the study period.
