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.

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

50 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) consistent with the UK Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank diagnostic criteria.
  • Diagnosis of probable PD dementia (PDD) according to the Movement Disorder Society Task Force clinical diagnostic criteria.
  • Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score of 13 to 23, inclusive, at Screening.
  • Male or female and aged ≥ 50 years.
  • Caregivers and subjects (or legal representative) must understand and have signed approved informed consent.
  • Caregivers and subjects (or legal representative) must be able to understand study requirements and be willing to follow instructions.
  • Stable regimen of anti-Parkinson's disease medications (including levodopa, dopamine agonists, MAO-B inhibitors, or the COMT inhibitor entacapone), which has been stable for at least 4 weeks prior to Baseline.
  • Treatment with cholinesterase inhibitor (rivastigmine, donepezil and galantamine (Exelon®, Aricept®, or Reminyl®) will be permitted, provided the dose has been stable for a minimum of 8 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Subjects with history of depression on antidepressant medications will be allowed if depression is controlled and they have been on a stable daily dose of the antidepressant for ≥8 weeks before Baseline.

  • Contraception:

    • Women of childbearing potential must use an acceptable method of contraception starting 4 weeks prior to study drug administration and for a minimum of 4 weeks after study completion. Otherwise, women must be postmenopausal (at least one year absence of vaginal bleeding or spotting) as confirmed by FSH greater than or equal to 40 mIU/mL or 40 IU/L or be surgically sterile.
    • Men with a potentially fertile partner must have had a vasectomy or be willing to use an acceptable method of contraception for the duration of the study and for 3 months after study drug discontinuation.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of any significant neurologic or psychiatric disorder other than PD that can contribute to cognitive impairment.
  • Any other condition or clinically significant abnormal findings like severe co-morbidities e.g. history of stroke, poor kidney or liver function on the physical or neurological examination, medical and psychiatric history, at screening or at baseline that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for the study.

    1. abnormal thyroid function test at screening (TSH)
    2. abnormal B12 level at screening
    3. MRI findings (by history) pointing to a potential symptomatic cause of cognitive dysfunction, including significant vascular changes, or communicating hydrocephalus.

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.
