A Study of the Safety and Tolerability of a Single Dose Administration of CVT-301 (Levodopa Inhalation Powder)

January 27, 2017 updated by: Acorda Therapeutics

A Phase 1 Study of the Safety and Tolerability of a Single Dose Administration of CVT- 301 (Levodopa Inhalation Powder) When Administered for Early Morning OFF Symptoms in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

This study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 2-way crossover study to evaluate the safety of CVT-301 levodopa (l-dopa) when co- administered with the first daily dose of oral levodopa/carbidopa for early morning OFF symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

An "OFF state" is defined as the time when medication is no longer providing benefit with respect to mobility, slowness, and stiffness. OFF episodes may be heralded by non-motor symptoms (e.g., pain, anxiety) prior to the appearance of motor symptoms.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

30 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • have idiopathic PD (i.e., not induced by drugs or other diseases) as defined by fulfilling Steps 1 and 2 of the United Kingdom (UK) Brain Bank criteria, diagnosed after the age of 30 years
  • diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and motor fluctuations and early morning OFF symptoms
  • classified as Stage 1 to 3 on the modified Hoehn and Yahr scale for staging of PD severity (in an ON state)
  • subjects who are on a l-dopa-containing therapy, not including Rytary (or equivalent), must be stable on oral l-dopa-containing therapy for at least 2 weeks prior to the Screening Visit with a l-dopa/decarboxylase inhibitor (DDI)-containing regimen
  • subjects who are on a l-dopa-containing therapy, when including Rytary (or equivalent), should be on a stable dose for at least 6 weeks prior to the Screening Visit
  • the frequency of l-dopa administrations must be at least 3 times during the waking day and a total daily l-dopa dose of ≤ 1600 mg.
  • on a stable regimen of their standard PD medications
  • on a stable regimen of any blood pressure reducing medications (if applicable) for at least 30 days prior to screening
  • forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) ≥60% of predicted for race, age, sex, and height and FEV1/FVC (forced vital capacity) ratio ≥70%
  • no clinically significant abnormalities that would affect ability to complete study as determined by medical history, physical examination, electrocardiogram, clinical laboratory test results

  • negative pregnancy test for all women.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • participated in any prior study with CVT-301
  • dyskinesia of a severity that would significantly interfere with the subject's ability to participate or perform study procedures (as determined by the UPDRS Part 4)
  • any contraindication to performing routine spirometry or who are unable to perform a spirometry maneuver
  • have a current history of symptomatic orthostatic hypotension or are treated with medications to treat orthostatic hypotension (for example droxidopa, fludrocortisone), if they have severe dysautonomia
  • have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or another chronic respiratory disease within the last 5 years.

Other: Placebo
All subjects will receive 1 dose of CVT-301 and 1 dose of placebo inhalation powder, to be taken concomitantly with their standard oral medication in 2 dosing periods. The order of treatment will be randomized, with subjects assigned to 1 of 2 sequences CVT-301 (A) administered first, followed by placebo (B), or the reverse order (BA)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Number of patients with Adverse Events (AEs) including Serious AEs
Time Frame: up to 9 days
up to 9 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Examiner rated time to ON comparisons between treatments (CVT-301 and placebo)
Time Frame: day 1 and day 3
An "ON state" is defined as the time when medication is providing benefit with respect to mobility, slowness, and stiffness, and may or may not be providing complete alleviation of all PD symptoms.
