Comparing the Therapeutic Efficacy and Safety of DA-9701 With Domperidone in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

March 19, 2019 updated by: Seoul National University Hospital

Therapeutic Efficacy of DA-9701 on Gastric Motility in Patients With Parkinson's Disease Evaluated by Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Randomized Controlled, Double-Blind, Non-Inferiority Trial

This study will evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of DA-9701 with domperidone in patients with Parkinson's disease

Study Overview

Detailed Description

To prevent nausea and vomiting induced by anti-parkinsonian drugs, prokinetic drugs are frequently prescribed in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Additionally, there has been some evidence that prokinetics might improve PD symptom fluctuations. From this background, the investigators will evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of DA-9701 in PD patients.

In this study, 40 patients will be enrolled and randomly allocated 1:1 to receive either domperidone or DA-9701. The gastric function of each study participant will be evaluated using the MRI technique before and after 4 weeks of the treatment. The study participants will also be subjected to complete the gastrointestinal symptom diary before and during the treatment period. In addition, plasma levodopa concentrations will be determined 30 minutes after dose administration before and after treatment.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: DA-9701
In this arm, the study participants will receive DA-9701 30mg + placebo domperidone tablet tid ac for 4 weeks.
Following 2-week screening period, study participants in this group will be given a standard dose of DA-9701 (30 mg t.i.d). Concomitant anti-PD medication will be continued without modification during the trial. The investigators will evaluate dyspepsia and constipation symptoms, gastric emptying by MRI, UPDRS and clinical variables at baseline and at the end of the study.
Other Names:
  • Motilitone
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Domperidone
(This study is a randomized, double-blinded, non-inferiority trial. Thus it is designed to have no placebo arm.) In this arm, the study participants will receive domperidone 10mg + placebo DA-9701 tablet tid ac +for 4 weeks.
Following 2-week screening period, study participants in this group will be given a standard dose of domperidone (10 mg t.i.d). Concomitant anti-PD medication will be continued without modification during the trial. The investigators will evaluate dyspepsia and constipation symptoms, gastric emptying by MRI, UPDRS and clinical variables at baseline and at the end of the study.
Other Names:
  • Motilium-M

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change of gastric motility evaluated using MRI from baseline at 4 weeks after the treatment
Time Frame: 0, 4 weeks
MRI is known to be accurate and useful in evaluating gastric motility. Gastric emptying rate (GER) evaluated using MRI will be compared before and after the treatment, and between the groups.
0, 4 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient's symptoms of dyspepsia and constipation assessed patient diary
Time Frame: -1 to 4 weeks
The study participants will fill up the gastrointestinal symptom diary before and during the treatment period. In addition, the investigators will assess the Patient's Global Assessment (PGA) for dyspeptic symptoms at the end of the treatment period.
-1 to 4 weeks
Levodopa plasma concentration 30 minutes after the L-dopa administration
Time Frame: 0, 4 weeks
Plasma levodopa concentrations will be determined 30 minutes after L-dopa dose administration before and after treatment.
0, 4 weeks
UPDRS Part III score
Time Frame: 0, 4 weeks
To evaluate any deteriorations in Parkinson's disease, the investigators will assess Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score before and after treatment in the 2 groups.
0, 4 weeks
