Clinical Trial Summary

This Phase IIb exploratory study is designed to determine whether AFQ056 is safe and effective and whether it can increase the therapeutic window of L-dopa in patients whose control of their Parkinson's Disease symptoms is limited by the development of dyskinesia induced by use of L-dopa.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change from baseline to the last-observation-carried-forward (LOCF) endpoint at week 5 in total OFF time collected from the Hauser et al. patient diary		5 weeks
Secondary	Change from baseline to the LOCF endpoint at week 5 in ON time with dyskinesia collected from the Hauser et al. patient diary.		5 weeks
Secondary	Effect of increasing L-dopa doses on the underlying symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (PD) as measured by the United Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III.		5 weeks
Secondary	Change in dyskinesia from baseline to the LOCF endpoint at week 5 as measured by the modified Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), patient diary and Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) Parts I-IV.		5 weeks
Secondary	Change from baseline on patient's dyskinesia, disability caused by dyskinesia and the underlying symptoms of PD as assessed by a clinician-rated (CGIC) and a patient-rated (PGIC) global impression of change.		5 weeks
Secondary	Safety and tolerability as measured by changes in vital signs, laboratory values, ECGs, and percentages of treatment-emergent AEs and SAEs		5 weeks
