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

35 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants will have a diagnosis of early Parkinson's disease OR possible or probably MSA-P

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of Idiopathic PD
  • Diagnosis of MSA-P
  • One to six years from clinical diagnosis of PD
  • Less than 4 years from clinical diagnosis of MSA with expected survival >3 years
  • Stable medication regimen
  • Ability to walk with or without an assistive device

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Movement disorder due to known cerebrovascular disease, brain tumor, trauma, exposure to parkinsonian-linked toxicants or other neurological diseases
  • Presence of dementia, psychosis, substance abuse or poorly controlled depression
  • Prior brain surgery (i.e. deep brain stimulation) or other brain imaging abnormalities
  • History of cancer or poorly controlled medical conditions
  • Receiving an investigational drug

NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

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
Motor symptoms as assessed by the Movement Disorder Society's Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS)
Time Frame: 18 months
Change from baseline in the MDS-UPDRS. The MDS-UPDRS contains 4 subscales: Part I, non-motor aspects of experiences of daily living (13 items); Part II, motor aspects of experiences of daily living (13 items); Part III, motor examination (33 scores based on 18 items); Part IV, motor complications (6 items). The rating for each item, or sub-item, is from 0 (normal) to 4 (severe). The total score for each Part is obtained from the sum of the corresponding item scores.
18 months
MSA symptoms/signs as assessed by the Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS)
Time Frame: 18 Months
Change from baseline in the Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) and compared to placebo. UMSARS total scores range from 0-104 points with higher scores indicating greater severity of impairment.
18 Months

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
Change in the quality of life as measured by Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39)
Time Frame: 18 months
Change from baseline in the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). PDQ-39 is a self-reported 39-item questionnaire designed to measure health related quality of life in Parkinson's Disease patients. It provides scores in 8 domains: mobility, activities of daily living, emotions, stigma, social support, cognitive function, bodily discomfort and communication, as well as a summary index score for quality of life.
18 months
Change in the quality of life as measured by Multiple System Atrophy Quality of Life (MSA-QoL)
Time Frame: 18 months
Change from baseline in the Multiple System Atrophy Quality of Life (MSA-QoL) scale. MSA-QoL is a self-reported questionnaire that measures MSA impact in day to day activities. Scale consists of 40 items with a five response option format (0 - no problem to 4 extreme problem) and a "not applicable" response option.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
November 4, 2025

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
