Participation Criteria
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Genders Eligible for Study
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects with PD according to the MDS Clinical diagnostic criteria for Parkinson's disease.
- Participants on antiparkinsonian medication in advanced stages of the disease and experiencing OFF periods and pain.
- Apomorphine treatment naïve subjects or not received any within the last six months.
- Stable PD and pain medications for at least 30 days.
- Competence to self-report pain severity in the King's Parkinson's disease Pain Scale and a Likert Visual Analogue Scale.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects who are unable to self-report pain severity in the selected scales. Patients that may require a translator or are illiterate will be included if they can self-report pain severity.
- Subjects with a diagnosis of dementia (Montreal Cognitive Assessment <20).
- Subject with poorly controlled orthostatic hypotension.
- Subjects associated with another medical condition, e.g., any cardiovascular, renal or hepatic impairment, hematological or psychiatric diseases.
Any contraindication to receiving apomorphine injections:
- Subjects who are hypersensitive to apomorphine or any ingredient in the formulation or component of the container (hydrochloric acid concentrated, sodium bisulfite (E222), and water)
- Subjects using concomitant drugs of the 5HT3 antagonist class including (e.g., ondansetron, granisetron, palonosetron)
- Subjects using concomitant antihypertensive medications or vasodilators
- Subjects with prolonged QT on an electrocardiogram.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Apomorphine Injections
|
Patients will receive the treatment while they are in an OFF period, without the effect of any antiparkinsonian medication. For this study, the initial dose of apomorphine or placebo will be 2 mg. We selected an initial standardized dose based on the pharmacological characteristics of apomorphine. Assessments will be completed 30 and 60 minutes after the initial dose. At 60 minutes from the first dose, a 3 mg dose will be administered, and again, assessments will be completed after 30 and 60 minutes. The total given dosage will be 5 mg. Blood pressure and pulse will be checked every 20 minutes after injections. Other Names: Movapo |

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Changes in Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale
Time Frame: 0, 1 and 2 weeks
|
Measures changes of symptom severity, treatment response and the efficacy of treatments.
Part 1 (non-motor experiences of daily living), Part 2 (motor experiences of daily living), Part 3 (motor examination) and Part 4 (motor complications).
The maximum score for all the parts is 272.
Higher scores are indicative of worse outcomes.
|
0, 1 and 2 weeks
|
Change in Likert Visual Analogue Scale
Time Frame: 0, 1 and 2 weeks
|
The measure of global pain change perceived by the patients.
The most simple Likert Visual Analogue Scale is a straight horizontal line of fixed length, usually 100 mm.
The ends are defined as the extreme limits of the parameter to be measured (symptom, pain, health) orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best).
There are no numerical values on this scale however, a positioning towards the left of the scale indicates a worse outcome.
|
0, 1 and 2 weeks
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Clinical Global Impression Scale
Time Frame: 0, 1 and 2 weeks
|
Changes in scores on the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale.
CGI is rated on a 7-point scale, with the severity of illness scale using a range of responses from 1 (normal) through to 7 (amongst the most severely ill patients).CGI scores range from 1 (very much improved) through to 7 (very much worse).
Treatment response ratings should take account of both therapeutic efficacy and treatment-related adverse events and range from 0 (marked improvement and no side-effects) and 4 (unchanged or worse and side-effects outweigh the therapeutic effects).
Each component of the CGI is rated separately; the instrument does not yield a global score.
|
0, 1 and 2 weeks
|
Number of adverse events
Time Frame: 0, 1 and 2 weeks
|
Adverse events assessed for safety purposes at each study visit.
|
0, 1 and 2 weeks
