Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Safety and tolerability of dipraglurant as measured by incidence of adverse events
Baseline to Day 2

The primary outcome will be testing the safety and tolerability of dipraglurant in patients with blepharospasm based on the incidence of adverse events reported by patients and/or as identified by the Investigator based on clinical assessments conducted during the study.

Computerized Motor Objective Rater (CMOR) analysis of blinking activity
Baseline to Day 2

Video analysis, by an independent rater, of the mean proportion of eye closure time, severity of periocular spasms, and blink rate. Decreased eye closure time, severity of periocular spasms and blink rate indicates improvement of blepharospasm symptoms.

Skintronics wearable analysis of blinking activity
Baseline to Day 2

Analysis of blinking activity as recorded on the Skintronics wearable device. Decreased blink activity indicates improvement of blepharospasm symptoms.

Number of patients with abnormal safety and tolerability assessment parameters
4 weeks

Physical and neurological examination, heart rate and blood pressure, 12-lead ECG, hematology and biochemistry assessments, use of concomitant medications, adverse events and serious adverse events.

Frequently asked questions about ADX48621

What is ADX48621 used for?

ADX48621 is an investigational small molecule being developed for Parkinson's disease, specifically for levodopa induced dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease. It is in Phase 2 clinical development and is not approved for any indication.

What does ADX48621 target?

ADX48621 targets mGluR5, a metabotropic glutamate receptor. By acting on this receptor, the drug is designed to modulate glutamate signaling, which is being studied as a way to reduce levodopa induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease patients.

Who is developing ADX48621?

ADX48621 is being developed by Addex Therapeutics Ltd, a biopharmaceutical company whose ticker symbol is ADXN. Addex Therapeutics is the sponsor of the clinical program for this asset.

What phase is ADX48621 in?

ADX48621 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency for marketing.

What clinical trials is ADX48621 in?

ADX48621 has been studied in one completed Phase 2 trial, NCT01336088, titled ADX48621 for the Treatment of Levodopa Induced Dyskinesia in Patients With Parkinson's Disease. The trial enrolled 83 patients across the United States, Austria, France, and Germany.

Was the ADX48621 trial randomized and placebo controlled?

Yes, the Phase 2 trial NCT01336088 for ADX48621 was randomized, double blind, and placebo controlled. It enrolled 83 patients with Parkinson's disease and levodopa induced dyskinesia and has been completed.
