NCT01280123
This is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial of two dosages of oral pioglitazone (15 milligram(mg) and 45 milligram (mg)) for safety, tolerability, and futility. Subjects who are on stable dose of rasagiline 1 mg/day or selegiline 10 mg/day for at least 8 weeks but no more than 8 months, will be randomized to one of two dosages of oral pioglitazone (15 mg and 45 mg) or matching placebo. The study will measure disease progression by the change in total Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score between the baseline visit and 44 weeks.
NCT02365012
This study will evaluate whether treatment with the α1-agonist, midodrine, reduces subjective orthostatic lightheadedness as measured by the Non-Motor Symptoms Scale for Parkinson's Disease (NMSS) questionnaire, in patients with (positive control group, OH) or without documented orthostatic hypotension(orthostatic intolerance, OI). It will also demonstrate the effect of treatment with an α1-agonist, midodrine, on beat-to-beat blood pressure and heart rate response during Valsalva maneuver (measured by Continuous Non-invasive Arterial Pressure, CNAP) in patients with OI or OH and evaluate the relationship to symptom improvement.
NCT00449865
The purpose of this trial is to determine if the nutritional supplement creatine slows the progression of Parkinson's disease over time.
NCT01076452
The goal of the second phase of the study is to determine if simultaneous bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation or simultaneous bilateral globus pallidus stimulation is more effective in reducing symptoms of Parkinson's Disease.
NCT00056563
The goals of this study are to determine if simultaneous bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation or simultaneous bilateral globus pallidus stimulation is more effective in reducing symptoms of Parkinson's disease, and if deep brain stimulation or best medical therapy is more effective in improving Parkinson's disease symptoms
NCT00144300
To determine if there is any difference in the presence of retinal deterioration in PD patients treated with pramipexole IR versus ropinirole as monitored by comprehensive ophthalmologic assessments from baseline to the end of study at two years.
NCT00617019
The purpose is to explore the frequency of impulse control disorders in Parkinson's patients treated with different Parkinson's medications.
NCT00605683
Parkinson's disease is a major neurodegenerative disorder in which there is a progressive loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. The understanding that PD is a syndrome of dopamine (DA) deficiency led to the introduction in the clinical practice of L-dopa, a precursor of DA that crosses the blood brain barrier, and also to the use of selective inhibitors of MAO B, the major DA metabolising enzyme in man. This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, randomised, multi-centre, multi national, Phase III trial, comparing two doses of safinamide (50 and 100 mg p.o. q.a.m.) versus placebo as add-on therapy to a stable dose of a single dopamine agonist in subjects with early idiopathic Parkinson's Disease. The principal efficacy measure, i.e., change in mean value of UPDRS - Section III total score from baseline to endpoint, was chosen based on regulatory guidance and prior use in other trials in similar populations.
NCT00522379
The purpose of this study is to show Rotigotine dose response at four doses of Rotigotine used with L-dopa in treating advanced stage Parkinson's disease.
NCT00594165
The objective of this open-label extension is to assess the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment of the rotigotine patch in subjects with early-stage idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
NCT00148486
To demonstrate efficacy and dose-response of NS 2330 versus placebo in patients with early Parkinson's Disease in 14 weeks of treatment, and to investigate the safety and tolerability of NS 2330 in these patients.
NCT00062738
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of two antidepressants--nortriptyline and paroxetine, compared to placebo in patients with Parkinson's disease and depression.
NCT00464464
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a cognitive-behavioral treatment, that includes a caregiver-focused social support intervention, for depression in persons with Parkinson's disease. Individuals who are unable to travel to the study site, but are interested in participating and meet all other eligibility requirements, will be allowed to participate over the phone.
NCT00321854
This is a double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of 15 months duration designed to examine early Mirapex (pramipexole) treatment vs. delayed Mirapex (pramipexole) treatment in patients with new onset Parkinsons disease
NCT01536821
The PROGENI Family Study is part of a larger consortium that is studying a gene shown to be important in Parkinson's disease, called LRRK2. People who have a defect in the LRRK2 gene will often develop Parkinson's disease. Eligible participants will be asked to complete a single Study Visit at an affiliated research facility closest to their home.
NCT00505687
The objective of this open-label extension is to assess the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment of rotigotine in subjects with idiopathic PD.
NCT00357994
The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate the superiority of levodopa - carbidopa intestinal gel over treatment with optimized oral levodopa/carbidopa during 12 weeks.
NCT00601523
The general aim of this study is to obtain long-term safety and tolerability data on pramipexole ER, in daily doses from 0.375mg to 4.5mg once daily (q.d), in patients who have previously completed a pramipexole double-blind study in early PD (248.524(NCT00479401) or 248.636(NCT00558025) trial).
NCT00833690
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of inosine and its ability to raise urate levels in blood and cerebral spinal fluid in individuals with early Parkinson disease. This will determine whether it is appropriate to proceed with a larger study of inosine's ability to modify the rate of disability progression in PD.
NCT01744496
This trial is being conducted to compare the impact of Rotigotine and Placebo on Chronic Pain associated with Parkinson's Disease among patients with advanced stages of the disease.
