| NCT02549092 | A Study to Examine the Effect of Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel (LCIG) Therapy Relative to That of Optimized Medical Treatment (OMT) on Non-motor Symptoms (NMS) Associated With Advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD) | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 89 | — | — | Oct 26, 2015 | Nov 18, 2022 | Nov 28, 2023 | 38 | United States, Australia +7 |
The NMSS consists of 30 questions in 9 domains (cardiovascular/falls, sleep/fatigue, mood/cognition, perceptual problems/hallucinations, attention/memory, GI tract, urinary, sexual function, miscellaneous). Score of each question is calculated by multiplying severity\*frequency. Severity and frequency are rated using a scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (severe) for severity and from 1 (rarely) to 4 (very frequent) for frequency. Total score is the sum of 9 domains, and ranges from 0 to 360, with a lower value indicating a more desirable outcome. Repeated-measure analysis.
The PDSS-2 addresses PD-specific sleep disturbances such as restless leg syndrome (RLS), morning akinesia, pain, and sleep apnea. The frequency is assessed for the 15 sleep problems based on a 5-point Likert-type scale (ranging from 0 \[never\] to 4 \[very often\]). Scores are calculated for each of the 3 domains (motor symptoms at night, PD symptoms at night, and disturbed sleep) as well as a total score. The PDSS-2 domain scores range from 0 to 20 and the total score is a sum of the 3 domains and ranges from 0 to 60. Repeated measure analysis.

| Optimized Medical Treatment (OMT) | ACTIVE_COMPARATOR | Participants randomized to continue OMT remain on their current optimized regimen. During the 26-week treatment phase, changes to anti-PD and NMS medications are to remain stable and can only be made if medically indicated. Eligible participants may elect to enter an extension/transition follow-up period to receive an individually optimized LCIG dose (after NJ and/or PEG-J placement), in order to transition to commercially available LCIG. |
| Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel (LCIG) | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants randomized to LCIG at an individually optimized dose (after NJ and/or PEG-J placement), in accordance with the LCIG approved product label for countries participating in the study. During the 26-week treatment phase, changes to anti-PD and NMS medications are to remain stable and can only be made if medically indicated. The total daily dose of LCIG was composed of 3 components: (i) the morning dose, (ii) continuous maintenance infusion dose and (iii) extra doses. The continuous infusion is expected to run over a period of 16 consecutive hours each day. Eligible participants may elect to enter an extension/transition follow-up period to receive an individually optimized LCIG dose, in order to transition to commercially available LCIG. |
