Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study of CPL500036 in Patients With Levodopa Induced Dyskinesia

Overview

The aim of the study is to determine potential anti-dyskinetic properties of CPL500036 (PDE10A inhibitor) in Parkinson disease patients suffering from levodopa Induced dyskinesia. The study is to determine the efficacy and dose response of two CPL500036 doses, compared with placebo.

Description

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose ranging study, to explore the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) of low and high dose of CPL500036 an phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) inhibitor in Parkinson's disease patients with levodopa induced dyskinesia (LID) when administered for 28 days. The study will be conducted at multiple Clinical Sites. Approximately 108 patients will be randomized at 1:1:1 ratio to receive low or high dose of CPL500036 or placebo in a blinded manner, once daily for 28 days (Day 1 to Day 28). The study will comprise of Screening, Baseline (a 4-day in-house period), a Treatment Period and a Follow-Up Period. The patients will be discharged from clinical units during the Treatment Period. Approximately 30% of the patients (11 patients in each of the 3 treatment groups) will undergo extensive PK blood sampling during the Treatment Period and the remaining 70% of the patients will undergo sparse PK blood sampling. Patients from extensive PK blood sampling will be discharged from the Clinical Site on Day 8 and Day 1 for patients from sparse PK blood sampling group respectively.

Eligibility

4. Other anti-PD medications are allowed if dosing is optimized and stably used.
5. The patient is has been treated with Levodopa and is suffering from temporally predictable peak-dose LID.
6. Patient declare that dyskinesia is problematic or disabling.
7. Score of dyskinesia is at least 2 on part IV, item 4.2 (of the MDS-UPDRS at Screening and on Day -1).
8. Patient with Hoehn-Yahr stages 2 to 4 (in OFF stage).
9. Female patient is not pregnant (at Screening and Day -1), not breastfeeding and at least 1 of the following conditions applies: (i) woman of non-childbearing potential; (ii) woman of childbearing potential, using contraceptive methods during the Treatment Period and for at least 28 days after the last dose of the study drug.

   The following are acceptable contraceptive methods: bilateral tubal occlusion, male sterilization, established proper use of hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices and copper intrauterine devices, male or female condom with spermicide; and cap, diaphragm or sponge with spermicide.

10. Male patient must agree to use a barrier method of contraceptive for at least 90 days after the last dose of the study drug.

Exclusion criteria:

1. The patient has (suspected) atypical Parkinson's disease.
2. The patient has a history of neurosurgical intervention because of Parkinson's disease.
3. Patient has unstable medical status which may impact the ability of the patients to participate or potentially confound the study result.
4. Patient has a history of psychotic event induced by anti-PD treatments or impulse control disorder.
