SCH 420814 · 1 trial · 1 indication
Dyskinesia was scored on a scale of 0 (absent), 1 (mild) , 2 (moderate), 3 (severe) and 4 (incapacitating) for seven body parts (face, neck, trunk, each arm and each leg) based on the worse dyskinesia noted during the entire measurement time. Scores were assessed at Hours 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0. The dyskinesia score was the sum of the scores for the seven body parts. The peak dyskinesia score was recorded for each participant regardless of what timepoint the score was achieved. The total possible score for an individual at each timepoint could range from 0 to 28 with higher scores indicating greater effects of the dyskinesia. The mean peak dyskinesia score was calculated using the individual peak values.

| SCH 420814 10 mg→SCH 420814 100 mg→Placebo | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants were to receive their assigned experimental treatment based on randomly assigned treatment sequence at Hour 0 following an overnight withdrawal of their antiparkinsonian medications of each treatment period. The levodopa infusion was to be started at Hour 1 and was to run for 2 hours. The participants were to also receive 25 mg of carbidopa at the following times: Hours 0, 2, and 4. Treatment periods were to be separated by at least 7 days but not more than 28 days washout between each dose. |

SCH 420814 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of Parkinson Disease. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The drug is being evaluated for its effects on dyskinesia and parkinsonism in patients already receiving levodopa therapy.
SCH 420814 is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., a pharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MRK. The drug is currently in Phase 1 clinical development for Parkinson Disease.
SCH 420814 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved for any use. A Phase 1 clinical trial has been completed to evaluate its acute effects on dyskinesia and parkinsonism in levodopa-treated participants with Parkinson Disease.
SCH 420814 has one completed clinical trial registered as NCT00845000, titled "Acute Effects of Preladenant (SCH 420814) on Dyskinesia and Parkinsonism in Levodopa Treated Participants (P05550)." This Phase 1 study enrolled 12 participants with Parkinson Disease and was a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.
Yes, SCH 420814 is also known as Preladenant. The clinical trial NCT00845000 refers to the drug as Preladenant (SCH 420814), confirming that these names refer to the same investigational compound being developed by Merck & Company, Inc. for Parkinson Disease.
