Medication-Induced Dyskinesia Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of NLX-112 Versus Placebo in Levodopa-induced Dyskinesia in Parkinson's Disease
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2a study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of up to 2 mg/day (1 mg BID) of NLX-112 versus placebo in patients with moderate to severe L-DOPA induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease (PD). NLX-112 will be up-titrated to either 2 mg/day or to the highest well-tolerated dose less than 2 mg/day over 4 weeks, maintained at the well-tolerated dose for an additional 2 weeks, and then down-titrated over 2 weeks.
This is a two-arm, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2a study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of up to 2 mg/day of NLX 112 versus placebo in patients with moderate to severe L-DOPA induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease (PD). NLX-112 will be up-titrated to either 2 mg/day (1 mg BID) or to the highest well-tolerated dose less than 2 mg/day over 4 weeks, maintained at the well-tolerated dose for an additional 2 weeks, and then down-titrated over 2 weeks. Patients will report to the study clinic for a screening visit (Visit 1), followed by a baseline visit on Day 1 (Visit 2) where patients will be randomized and begin treatment. Two remote safety visits over telephone (Days 7 and 49 [Visit 3 and Visit 8]) will be conducted. Once treatment has commenced, there will be 2 in-person safety visits to the clinic (Days 14 and 21 [Visit 4 and Visit 5]), 2 in-person efficacy visits to the clinic (Days 28 and 42 [Visit 6 and Visit 7]) and one follow-up in person final safety visit (Day 70 [Visit 9]). In total, patients will report to the clinic for 7 in-person visits. Patients entering the study will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio (16:8 patients) to receive either NLX 112 or placebo. At Visits 2, 6 and 7, efficacy assessments will start 30 minutes after the patient has taken 150% of his or her regular L-DOPA dose, when the patient is ON and experiencing typical dyskinesia. A PD Home Dyskinesia Diary (electronic) will be completed by the patients and/or caregiver with concordance in ON time with dyskinesia between study staff and patient. Two consecutive 24-hour diaries will be completed prior to randomization (baseline, Visit 2) and prior to the clinic visits on Days 28 and 42 (Visits 6 and 7). A wearable dyskinesia assessment device will be used to monitor dyskinesias during a 2-day period prior to the baseline visit (Day 1, Visit 2) and a 2-day period prior to the clinic visits on Days 28 and 42 (Visits 6 and 7, respectively). Blood will be collected for possible NLX-112 plasma concentration measurements on Days 14, 21, 28, 42 and 70 (Visits 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9). ;
