The Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Spinal Cord Stimulation on Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

December 27, 2023 updated by: Jian Wang, Huashan Hospital
The study is an open-label, prospective, single-arm, unicentral (Huashan Hospital Department of Neurology/ Neurosurgery) and exploratory clinical trial. Subjects will be enrolled from Parkinson's disease and Movement Disorder specialized outpatient department of Neurology in Huashan Hospital and network platform of chronic diseases. Spinal Cord Stimultion (SCS) will be performed in department of Neurosurgery and cerebral metabolism will be assessed in PET center of Huashan Hospital. Specialists in Neurology will follow up 3 months to record any unsafe incidents of progressive supranuclear palsy patients after the SCS surgery to evaluate safety. Meanwhile, improvement in gait disorder (including 10MWT and TUG test score) will be measured to evaluate efficacy.

Detailed Description

The Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Spinal Cord Stimulation on Progressive Supranuclear Palsy is an open-label, prospective, single-arm, unicentral and exploratory clinical trial.

In the screening stage, patients clinically and radiologically diagnosed as progressive supranuclear palsy with prominent gait disturbance will be enrolled. Then comprehensive evaluations and spinal cord stimulation will be performed on patients eligible for stimulation. In the subsequent process of neuromodulation, changes of clinical presentations and cerebral metabolism of participants will be assessed. Any unsafe incidents in process will be recorded in detail.

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

40 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Clinical diagnosis is Progressive Supranuclear Palsy according to International Movement Disorder society criteria for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (2017).

2.18FDG-PET imaging was completed within three months before the operation, and the imaging results were consistent with characteristics of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, supporting the clinical diagnosis of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

3. The clinical manifestation is prominent gait balance disorder with "freezing gait", "turn difficulties" and "feet like a stick on the ground", "instabillity" and a fall history in the nearly 6 months (fall number less than or equal to 3 times).Or the researchers observe the existence of gait balance disorder, but patients can still walk without using external things with new freezing gait questionnaire survey more than 1 minute.

4.Those who fully understand the research and sign the informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Severe mental symptoms or depression state.
  2. Severe cognitive dysfunction with MMSE less than 20.
  3. Severe loss of postural reflexes (inability to stand and work independently) and depend on a walker or wheelchair.
  4. Depend on nasal feeding tube.
  5. Female in pregnant state when grouped.
  6. Clear and definite history of neurological diseases (stroke, trauma, tumor, hydrocephalus.
  7. Complicated with severe heart, liver or renal diseases.
  8. Clear and definite contraindications for surgery, electrical stimulation and PET examination.
  9. Unsuitable for surgery according to evaluation before the surgery.
  10. Other conditions that researchers think unsuitable surgery.
  11. Those who participant in other clinical trials at the same time.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: spinal cord stimulation
the spinal cord stimulation was performed and operated
Procedure: Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation is a treatment that implants a electrode in posterior epidural space of patient's spinal canal to send mild electric current to stimulate conducting bundle of the posterior column of the spinal cord and posterior horn sensory neurons.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety of Spinal Cord Stimulation
Time Frame: 3 months
Safety evaluation will be performed 3 months after Spinal Cord Stimualtion
3 months
Efficacy of Spinal Cord Stimulation on walk gait.
Time Frame: 3 months after Spinal Cord Stimualtion.
The change of 10 Meter Walk Test (10MWT) scores. The 10MWT recorded the time to finish the test, and the maximum time is 5 minutes. The longer time suggest more severe condition.
3 months after Spinal Cord Stimualtion.
Efficacy of Spinal Cord Stimulation on walk time.
Time Frame: 3 months after Spinal Cord Stimualtion.
Changes of the Time Up & Go (TUG) test score. TUG test recorded the time to finish the test, the minimum time is 0 and the maximum time is 5 minutes. The longer time suggest more severe condition.
3 months after Spinal Cord Stimualtion.

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
Alteration of cerebral metabolism in 18F-FDG-PET imaging
Time Frame: 6 months
Alteration of cerebral metabolism in 18F-FDG-PET imaging 6 months after Spinal Cord Stimualtion
6 months
Alteration of gait, balance and motor score
Time Frame: 1 month, 6 months
Alteration of gait, balance and motor score 1 month, 6 months after Spinal Cord Stimualtion. The New Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (NFOG-Q) will be assessed, with the minimum score to be 0 and the maximum score to be 30 scores, with higher scores suggest more severe condition.
