- Direct or indirect trauma to the nervous system within 3 months preceding the onset of tremor.
- History or clinical evidence of psychogenic tremor origin. Known history of other medical or neurological conditions that may cause or explain subject's tremor.
- Prior MR-guided Focused Ultrasound or surgical intervention (e.g., deep brain stimulation, ablative thalamotomy or gamma knife thalamotomy) for treatment of tremor or Parkinson's disease.
- Use of medication(s) in the past month that might produce tremor or interfere with the evaluation of tremor.
- Inability to refrain from use of medication/substance(s) that might produce tremor or interfere with the evaluation of tremor on study visit days.
- Positive urine drug screen for drugs of abuse, except if this is explained by use of an allowed prescription medicine.
- Regular use of more than two units of alcohol per day.
- Use of prescription or non-prescription drugs or other products (i.e. grapefruit juice) known to be strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 which cannot be discontinued 2 weeks prior to Day 1 of dosing and withheld throughout the study.
- Concurrent illnesses that would be a contraindication to trial participation.
- Psychological, social, familial, or geographical reasons that would hinder or prevent compliance with the requirements of the protocol or compromise the informed consent process.
- Any other condition and/or situation that causes the Investigator or Study Safety Representative to deem a subject unsuitable for the study (e.g., due to expected study medication non-compliance, inability to medically tolerate the study procedures, or a subject's unwillingness to comply with study-related procedures).
- Treatment with an investigational agent within 30 days prior to the first dose of CX-8998 or planning to receive an investigational agent during the study.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change from Baseline to Day 28 on the MDS-UPDRS Tremor Score as scored by the central rater
Time Frame: Baseline through completion of study treatment period, an average of 28 days
|
The MDS-UPDRS is a multi-dimensional scale that assesses the motor and non-motor impact of PD across four parts.
Part I: Non-Motor Experiences of Daily Living; Part II: Motor Experiences of Daily Living; Part III: Motor Examination; and Part IV: Motor Complications.
|
Baseline through completion of study treatment period, an average of 28 days
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change from Baseline to Day 28 on the TETRAS Activity of Daily Living subscale
Time Frame: Baseline through completion of study treatment period, an average of 28 days
|
The ADL section of TETRAS has 12 items, each rated 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. The maximum total score is 48.
Item 1 addresses speech; item 10 addresses occupational impairment; and item 12 assesses social impact.
The other 9 items assess activities that are affected primarily by upper limb tremor
|
Baseline through completion of study treatment period, an average of 28 days
|
Change from Baseline to Day 28 in accelerometry score
Time Frame: Baseline through completion of study treatment period, an average of 28 days
|
Accelerometry will be used to obtain quantitative measurements of tremor.
The Kinesia ONE device will be placed on the index finger and worn in the clinic immediately after execution of the MDS-UPDRS and/or TETRAS performance subscale.
A total of 4 tasks will be performed on the left side and then again on the right side to assess resting, postural, kinetic, and lateral wing beating tremor.
Each task will be performed for 15 seconds.

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] as assessed by CTCAE v4.0
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 12 weeks
|
Treatment-emergent adverse events are all adverse events occurring during the treatment period or a pretreatment event that worsens in intensity during the treatment period.

Changes from baseline in QTcF
Time Frame: Baseline through study completion, an average of 5 weeks
|
Fridericia's Correction Formula (QTCF) is a formula which takes into account the physiologic shortening of the QT interval which occurs as the heart rate increases, permitting comparison of the QT interval across a range of rates.

The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is a questionnaire used for suicide assessment.
A numerical score is derived from the C-SSRS categories.
The score is created at each assessment for each patient and is used for determining treatment emergence.
Suicidal Ideation Score: The maximum suicidal ideation category (1-5 on the C-SSRS) present at the assessment.

Epworth Sleepiness Scale
Time Frame: Baseline through completion of study treatment period, an average of 28 days
|
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a scale intended to measure daytime sleepiness that is measured by use of a very short questionnaire.
The questionnaire asks the subject to rate his or her probability of falling asleep on a scale of increasing probability from 0 to 3 for 8 different situations.
The scores are added together to obtain a single number.

Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in Parkinson's Disease-Rating Scale (QUIP-RS)
Time Frame: Screening through study completion, an average of 8 weeks
|
The QUIP-RS was developed to assess the severity of impulse control disorders and related behavior symptoms and to monitor changes in symptoms over time.
The QUIP-RS has 4 primary questions (pertaining to commonly reported thoughts, urges/desires, and behaviors associated with impulsive control disorders), each of which is applied to 4 impulsive behaviors (compulsive gambling, buying, eating, and sexual behavior) and 3 related disorders (medication use, punding, and hobbyism).
It uses a 5-point scale to gauge the frequency of behaviors.
Scores for each behavior and related disorder range from 0 to 16, with a higher score indicating greater severity (ie, frequency) of symptoms.
The total QUIP-RS score for all impulsive control disorders and related disorders combined ranges from 0 to 112.

The UM-PDHQ is a 20-item clinician-administered questionnaire that is completed during a structured interview.
Questions are divided into 2 groups: a quantitative group that consists of 6 questions (modality, frequency, duration, insight, emotional burden) and a qualitative group that consists of 14 questions.
Scores range from 0-14.

The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), a self-assessment scale, was developed to detect states of depression, anxiety and emotional distress.
The HADS is a 14-item scale that generates ordinal data.
Seven of the items relate to anxiety, and 7 of the items relate to depression.
Each item on the questionnaire is scored from 0 to 3, with individual scores ranging between 0 and 21 for either anxiety or depression.
