Frequently asked questions about Ropinirole

What is Ropinirole used for?

Ropinirole is a small molecule studied in neurology for Parkinson disease, fibromyalgia syndrome, and cerebrovascular accident. It has been investigated in completed clinical trials, including a Phase 3 study in Parkinson disease patients not well controlled on L-dopa and a Phase 2 study in adults with fibromyalgia. It is not described as approved for these uses.

What does Ropinirole target?

Ropinirole targets the dopamine receptors DRD2, DRD3, and DRD4, where it acts as an agonist. By activating these receptors, it is designed to influence dopamine signaling, which is relevant to neurological conditions such as Parkinson disease. This mechanism is the basis for its study in the indications listed.

Who makes Ropinirole?

Ropinirole is developed by GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK. GSK is the company associated with the clinical development program for this small molecule across Parkinson disease, fibromyalgia syndrome, and cerebrovascular accident.

What phase is Ropinirole in?

Ropinirole is in Phase 2 development overall, with completed trials spanning Phase 1 to Phase 3. The program includes three completed trials with a total enrollment of 445 participants. No active trials are ongoing. It is investigational and not described as approved.

What clinical trials is Ropinirole in?

Ropinirole has been studied in completed trials including NCT01435915, a Phase 1 pharmacokinetics study in Chinese healthy subjects; NCT00460148, a Phase 2 absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion study in Parkinson disease; NCT00381472, a Phase 3 trial in Parkinson disease patients not well controlled on L-dopa; and NCT00256893, a Phase 2 fibromyalgia study in adults.
