Pragmatic Cyclical Lower Extremity Exercise Trial for Parkinson's Disease

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Identification of an effective disease-modifying intervention (e.g. pharmaceutical, surgical or behavioral) is an unmet need in Parkinson's disease (PD). Increasing evidence indicates high intensity aerobic exercise is a candidate to alter PD progression. The primary aim of this study is to examine the disease-altering capabilities of a long-term, high-intensity aerobic exercise intervention. A multi-site pragmatic randomized controlled trial design has been selected. Individuals with PD will be randomized into 1) a home-based aerobic exercise program, or 2) a usual and customary care (UCC). Subjects in the home exercise group will receive an indoor stationary bicycle delivered to their home for a 12 month exercise period. Individuals in the UCC group will continue their current level of physical activity. Motor and non-motor assessments will be conducted at the main campus of the Cleveland Clinic or the University of Utah at enrollment, 6 months, and 12 months. Each assessment will last approximately one hour.

Clinical Trial Description

Overview of Experimental Design: The study is a randomized controlled clinical trial designed to examine the disease-altering capabilities of a 12 month aerobic exercise program for individuals with PD. A total of 252 individuals with PD will be randomized into 1) a home-based aerobic exercise program, or 2) a usual and customary care (UCC). Subjects in the home exercise group will receive a commercially available Peloton indoor stationary bicycle delivered to their home for a 12 month exercise period. Individuals in the UCC group will continue their current level of physical activity. Both groups will undergo a series of motor and non-motor assessments at enrollment, 6 months, and 12 months to measure disease progression of the 12 month period. Additionally, data will be used to develop a prognostic model to predict 12-month change in Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale III (MDS-UPDRS III) for patients participating in a home-based high-intensity aerobic exercise program. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
