Parkinson’s Disease

At the screening visit consenting patients will be screened for eligibility according to study specific inclusion/exclusion criteria within 8 weeks before start of Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) administration. A diary concordance training will be performed and following the screening visit the patient will be asked to self-administer three 24-hour home diaries and to bring the completed diaries to the baseline visit for assessment prior randomization.

At the baseline visit, patients will be randomized to receive one of three doses of mesdopetam (dose 1, dose 2 and dose 3) or placebo b.i.d.

During the first week a dose run-in phase will take place, where all patients allocated to mesdopetam will receive a run-in dose of mesdopetam twice daily and patients allocated to placebo will receive placebo twice daily. At Visit 2, patients will receive mesdopetam dose 1, dose 2 or dose 3 or placebo b.i.d., as randomized and continue the same dose for the rest of the treatment period until EOT. Dose reductions are restricted and the dose can only be reduced once. Dose reductions are permitted from visit 2 (day 9) until visit 3 (day 28), where after the dose should be kept stable until EOT.

Approximately 66 male and female subjects with Parkinson’s disease, on a stable dosage of levodopa but with an average of ≥ 2 h total OFF time/day and not less than 1 h per day, will be enrolled. Following baseline safety and efficacy assessments, subjects will be randomized to receive once-daily doses of either low-dose CVN424, high-dose CVN424, or matching placebo. All subjects not randomized to placebo will initiate treatment with a low-dose of CVN424 on Day 1; the low-dose arm will continue to receive their low dose each day, while the high-dose arm will increase their daily dosage to the high-dose CVN424 beginning on Day 8 ±2 days and continuing thereafter. Study drug will be self-administered each morning as an oral suspension. Subjects will continue their other PD medications.

What Are Clinical Research Trials?

Clinical research – also referred to as clinical research trials, are conducted in order for medical researchers to decipher just which therapies or interventions are the most effective and safe to detect, treat or prevent a disease such as Parkinson’s disease (PD, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative conditions.

Not only do clinical trials look at the effectiveness and risks of specific treatment interventions or drugs, researchers also evaluate other aspects of medical care, such as how to improve the quality of life for people with chronic illness such as PD and AD.

More About Clinical Trials

Before a new drug or treatment can be used to treat a disease, it must first be carefully tested in a laboratory, then with live people, in what is called a clinical research trial, in order to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the drug or treatment. There is a protocol that is followed for every clinical trial, designed to answer a specific research question, as well as protecting the safety of the participants in the study. A protocol describes exactly who will participate in the trial, which tests and procedures, medications and dosages will be used, as well as how long the study will last, and what type of information will be collected during the study. The federal government mandates that all clinical trials are governed closely by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) – comprised of a committee of physicians, statisticians and members of the community. The IRB is appointed in order to ensure the risks of the clinical trial are minimal and that potential benefits are worth the risks.

There are several different phases of a clinical trial, each developed in order to help researchers answer different questions. Phases include: Phase I – an experimental drug or treatment is tested in a small group of between approximately 20 and 80 participants to test a drug or treatment’s safety and identify any side effects Phase II – an experimental drug or treatment is tested in a larger group of approximately 100 to 300 participants in order to continue to evaluate its safety Phase III – an experimental drug or treatment is given to a very large group of (on average) approximately 1,000 to 3,000 participants (could be more or less) in order to compare it with standard treatment and gather information on side effects and safety Phase IV – after the drug has been FDA approved, studies continue in order to track of its long term safety and effectiveness as well as its optimal use

What is a Double Blind Placebo Study? In a single blind placebo study, participants are NOT aware of whether they receive the real drug being tested or a placebo (“sugar” pill with no therapeutic effect whatsoever). This study reinforces the fact that participants are not subject to being influenced in any way by how they anticipate the reaction to the experimental drug to be. In a single blind study, only the participant is NOT told whether she/he is taking a drug or a placebo. A double blind study involves none of the members of the research team (including the participants) being told which group is getting the investigatory drug or which group will get the placebo.

The Good News Regarding Clinical Trials – Those who have been newly diagnosed with AD and their caregivers and family members may be very interested to know that there are some great benefits to becoming involved in local research trials.

Benefits of Becoming Involved in Clinical Trials – Participants get to take an active role in their plan of care Individuals involved in clinical trials contribute to helping others Many clinical trial participants receive free medical care by experts in their respective field of medicine Those involved in clinical research receive the latest in medical advances before they are available to the general public Participants may be able to continue treatment/medication even after the clinical trial is over Those with chronic untreatable illnesses gain hope for a brighter future or perhaps even a cure for the disease Clinical trials can provide a positive milieu in which participants can seek the support of others going through the same experiences regarding their disease The benefits of clinical research trials must be weighed against the risks in order for each participant to decide if the trial is in his/her best interest. There may be serious side effects of any clinical trial (some could even be life threatening). The amount of time required for the trial must also be taken into consideration. Some trials require hospital stays and/or frequent lab tests. The potential benefits and risks of a research study must be explained to all participants before and during the study through a process called “informed consent” before each person involved in the study agrees to participate or continue the study.

After the Research Trial is Complete – Once the clinical trial is complete, the information gathered is examined in detail and then a decision is made regarding moving on to the next phase of the study. If the research reveals that the treatment is ineffective or unsafe, the decision to stop the testing will be made. Results of clinical trials may be published in scientific journals or perhaps featured in the media. Once a new drug or treatment has been deemed safe and effective by clinical trials, it may even be adopted as the standard of care by medical professionals.
