Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Time to first qualifying worsening event on Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part II
Up to 48 Weeks

To evaluate the efficacy of BHV-8000 compared to placebo. This objective is measured by assessing the time to prespecified worsening on MDS-UPDRS Part II (motor experiences of daily living per self-administered questionnaire). MDS-UPDRS Part II is a 52-point scale with a higher total score representing more severe disability.

Secondary Endpoints

Change in Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III from Baseline to Week 48 of the DB Phase
Baseline to Week 48
Change in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) from Baseline to Week 48 of the DB Phase
Baseline to Week 48
Change in DaT-SPECT scan from Baseline to Week 48 of the DB Phase

Frequently asked questions about BHV-8000

What is BHV-8000 used for in Parkinson Disease?

BHV-8000 is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of early Parkinson's disease. It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development and is being studied in adults living with early Parkinson's disease. The drug is not yet approved and remains under investigation.

What does BHV-8000 target?

BHV-8000 targets TYK2 and JAK1, which are kinases involved in cellular signaling. By inhibiting these targets, the drug may modulate inflammatory pathways relevant to Parkinson's disease. This mechanism is being evaluated in clinical trials to determine its safety and effectiveness.

Who makes BHV-8000?

BHV-8000 is being developed by Biohaven Ltd., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BHVN. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate the drug's potential as a treatment for early Parkinson's disease.

What phase is BHV-8000 in?

BHV-8000 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The ongoing Phase 2 trial is recruiting participants to assess the drug's effectiveness, safety, and tolerability in adults with early Parkinson's disease.

What clinical trials is BHV-8000 in?

BHV-8000 is being studied in a Phase 2 clinical trial with the identifier NCT06976268. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is recruiting approximately 550 participants in the United States. The trial is evaluating the drug's effectiveness, safety, and tolerability in adults with early Parkinson's disease.
