Time to First Occurrence of Wearing-off

Wearing off is defined as a perception of loss of mobility or dexterity, usually taking place gradually over minutes (up to an hour) and usually bearing a close temporal relationship to the timing of anti-parkinsonian medications; it does not include early-morning akinesia. To ascertain its occurrence, a blinded rater questioned the patient whether he/she had noticed that the benefits of the study drug wear-off. A motor complications and patient questionnaire card were provided to assist the blinded rater in determining whether a patient had experienced wearing-off. (NCT00099268)

Change From Baseline in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Total Score (Parts II and III)

The UPDRS is a standardized assessment scale used to measure the patient's disease state. It was to be completed by a blinded rater. There are 6 parts to the UPDRS. Part II (items 5-17; total score 0-52 units on the scale) measures the patient's activities of daily living and part III (items 18-31; total score 0-56 units on the scale) measures the motor function of the patient. The total score ranges from 0 to 108 units on the scale. A higher score indicates greater disability. A negative change score indicates improvement. (NCT00099268)

Time to First Occurrence of Dyskinesia

"Dyskinesia was assessed by a blinded rater at each visit. Time to dyskinesia was defined as the visit at which the rater first answered yes to the following question: In your opinion, does this patient have dyskinesia? Time to dyskinesia was estimated by Kaplan-Meier product limit estimate that takes into consideration patients who did not experience dyskinesia by censoring them at the end of the study." (NCT00099268)

Each of the items was assessed in the morning and during the day. 'Self-assessment' scores were -3 (Off) to +3 (dyskinetic). 'Off' time is when PD symptoms are not adequately controlled by the drug. 'Dyskinetic' time is time with involuntary muscle movement. 0 is defined as the normal ON state without dyskinesia (the desired motor state). Everything closer to 0 means improvement, everything more away from 0 means either less mobility (in the negative score) or involuntary movements (dyskinesia, in the positive score)." (NCT00141518)

PDQ-39 Emotional Well Being Subscale Scores From Baseline to Month 36

The PDQ-39 is a self-administered questionnaire which comprises 39 items addressing 8 domains of health in Parkinson's disease patients. These include: mobility, activities of daily living, emotional well-being, stigma, social support, cognition, communication, and bodily discomfort. The domain scores are calculated by first summing the answers to the questions in the domain. The sum is divided by the highest score possible (i.e., number of answers multiplied by 4) and the quotient is multiplied by 100 to put the score on a scale from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicate a better perceived health status. Higher scores are consistently associated with the more severe symptoms of the disease such as tremor and stiffness. (NCT00141518)

Electronic Diary: Morning and Day Scores (Dyskinetic Magnitude) From Baseline to Month 36

The Electronic Diary consisted of 15 items addressing motor performance, complication of therapy, self-assessment, and various types of tapping. Six conceptual dimensions were defined; four subjectively-reported: 'walking', 'satisfied', 'dyskinesia', and 'off' and two objectively-measured: 'tapping' and 'spiral'. Each of the items was assessed in the morning and during the day. 'Dyskinetic time' is time with involuntary muscle movement. Magnitude scores were 1 (worst) to 5 (best). (NCT00141518)

PDQ-39 Social Support Subscale Scores From Baseline to Month 36

The PDQ-39 is a self-administered questionnaire which comprises 39 items addressing 8 domains of health in Parkinson's disease patients. These include: mobility, activities of daily living, emotional well-being, stigma, social support, cognition, communication, and bodily discomfort. The domain scores are calculated by first summing the answers to the questions in the domain. The sum is divided by the highest score possible (i.e., number of answers multiplied by 4) and the quotient is multiplied by 100 to put the score on a scale from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicate a better perceived health status. Higher scores are consistently associated with the more severe symptoms of the disease such as tremor and stiffness. (NCT00141518)

The PDQ-39 Domain: Cognition includes 4 questions, each answered on a 5-point scale. The domain scores are calculated by first summing the answers to the questions in the domain. The sum is divided by the highest score possible (i.e., number of answers multiplied by 4) and the quotient is multiplied by 100 to put the score on a scale from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicate a better perceived health status. Higher scores are consistently associated with the more severe symptoms of the disease such as tremor and stiffness. (NCT00335153)

Change From Baseline in Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) Mobility Domain Score at Week 12

The PDQ-39 is a self-administered questionnaire which comprises 39 items addressing 8 domains of health in Parkinson's disease patients. The PDQ-39 Domain: Mobility (e.g., fear of falling when walking) includes 10 questions, each answered on a 5-point scale. The domain scores are calculated by first summing the answers to the questions in the domain. The sum is divided by the highest score possible (i.e., number of answers multiplied by 4) and the quotient is multiplied by 100 to put the score on a scale from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicate a better perceived health status. Higher scores are consistently associated with the more severe symptoms of the disease such as tremor and stiffness. (NCT00357994)

Change From Baseline in Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) Total Score at Endpoint

The ZBI is a 22-item questionnaire regarding the caregiver/subject relationship and evaluates the caregiver's health condition, psychological well-being, finances and social life. Each question is answered on a 5-point scale (0=never, 1=rarely, 2=sometimes, 3=quite frequently, and 4=nearly always). The caregiver burden is evaluated by the total score (range 0 to 88) obtained from the sum of the answers to the 22 questions. Higher scores are associated with a higher level of burden for the caregiver. (NCT00360568)

Change in Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) Scores at End of Treatment

"The PDQ-39 is a self-administered questionnaire that comprises 39 items addressing the following eight domains of health that patients consider to be adversely affected by the disease:~Mobility (e.g., fear of falling when walking) - 10 questions~Activities of daily living (e.g., difficulty cutting food) - 6 questions~Emotional well-being (e.g., feelings of isolation) - 6 questions~Stigma (e.g., social embarrassment) - 4 questions~Social support - 3 questions~Cognition - 4 questions~Communication - 3 questions~Bodily discomfort - 3 questions~Each question is answered on a 5-point scale from 0 (Never) to 4 (Always / Cannot Do At All). Scores are calculated by summing the answers to the questions in the domain and converting to a scale from 0 to 100. Higher scores are associated with the more severe symptoms of the disease such as tremor and stiffness. The PDQ-39 summary index (range 0-100) includes responses to all 39 items. A negative change indicates improvement." (NCT00660673)

8-Hour Efficacy Using Day 1 Tapping

"Improvement in Tapping: has been used as a surrogate endpoint for assessing subject being On. Finger Tapping: the number of times the subject could tap two counter keys 20 cm apart alternately in 1 minute with the most affected arm assessed every 30 minutes on Day 1. Subjects performed the 60-second tapping measurement three times prior to dosing in the clinic, and at half-hour intervals through the 8-hour measurement period on Day 1 of each treatment period. More hours On during treatment represented better outcome. For the Tapping measurement, the protocol defined a 20% change from the average of the predose measurements as the time to On. Each half-hour interval counted as 0.5 hour. Any measurement below a 20% improvement was considered time Not On. If patient required redosing then primary analyses adjusted for redosing in calculating the results." (NCT00869791)

Change From Baseline in Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) Spatial Working Memory Between Errors Score at Week 12

CANTAB is a computer-based test of the participant's ability to retain spatial information and to manipulate remembered items in working memory. The Spatial Working Memory module requires that subjects find a blue token in a series of displayed boxes and use these to fill up an empty column, while not returning to boxes where a blue token has been previously found. The between errors score is the number of times the participant revisited a box in which a token was previously found; errors are calculated for 4-, 6-, and 8-box trials. Higher numbers indicate poorer performance. (NCT01736176)

Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) Mobility, Emotional Well-Being, Stigma, Social Support, Cognition, Communication, and Bodily Discomfort Domain Scores: Change From Baseline To The Final PEG-J Visit

The PDQ-39 is a self-administered questionnaire which comprises 39 items (each question answered on a 5-point scale) addressing 8 domains of health in Parkinson's disease patients: Mobility (e.g., fear of falling when walking) includes 10 questions; Emotional Well-being (e.g., feelings of isolation) includes 6 questions; Stigma (e.g., social embarrassment) includes 4 questions; Social Support includes 3 questions; Cognition includes 4 questions; Communication includes 3 questions; and Bodily Discomfort includes 3 questions. The domain scores are calculated by first summing the answers to the questions in the domain. The sum is divided by the highest score possible (i.e., number of answers multiplied by 4) and the quotient is multiplied by 100 to put the score on a scale from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicate a better perceived health status. Higher scores are consistently associated with the more severe symptoms of the disease such as tremor and stiffness. (NCT01960842)

Mean Change From Baseline to Week 12 in ON Time Without Troublesome Dyskinesia

The Parkinson's Disease (PD) Symptom Diary is completed every 30 minutes for the full 24 hours of each of 3 days prior to selected study visits. It reflects both time awake and time asleep. Daily totals are normalized to a 16-hour scale (i.e., 16 hours of awake time). The normalized totals for the 3 days prior to the visit are averaged for the analysis. ON time is when PD symptoms are well controlled by the drug, and OFF time is when PD symptoms are not adequately controlled by the drug. Positive change from baseline for ON time without troublesome dyskinesia indicates improvement. (NCT02799381)

Higher scores are consistently associated with the more severe symptoms of the disease such as tremors and stiffness. The results are presented as a summary index. The PDQ-8 summary index ranges from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicate a better perceived health status. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement. (NCT02799381)

Mean Change From Baseline to Week 12 in OFF Time

The Parkinson's Disease (PD) Symptom Diary is completed every 30 minutes for the full 24 hours of each of 3 days prior to selected study visits. It reflects both time awake and time asleep. Daily totals are normalized to a 16-hour scale (i.e., 16 hours of awake time). The normalized totals for the 3 days prior to the visit are averaged for the analysis. ON time is when PD symptoms are well controlled by the drug, and OFF time is when PD symptoms are not adequately controlled by the drug. Negative change from baseline for OFF time indicates improvement. (NCT02799381)

Mean Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) Total Score

The Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) is a tool used to assess dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease (PD) and contains both self-evaluation questions and items that are assessed directly by the physician to objectively rate the abnormal movements associated with PD. Part 1 contains 11 questions about the ON time dyskinesia and the impact of ON-dyskinesia on experiences of daily living. Part 2 contains 4 questions about OFF-dystonia rating. Part 3 contains 7 questions about objective evaluation of dyskinesia impairment and Part 4 contains 4 questions regarding dyskinesia disability. Each question is scored with respect to severity, which is rated on a scale where 0 = normal, 1 = slight, 2 = mild, 3= moderate and 4 = severe. The UDysRS total score is obtained by summing the item scores, ranging from 0 to 104. Higher scores are associated with more disability. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement.

Single Task Gait Speed

Patients' gait was assessed as walking speed in cm/s on a 15' walking course. Patients walked at their usual or normal speed for a total of 27' (starting and ending at a point 6 feet prior to and after the 15' course to eliminate acceleration and deceleration effects). Two trials were completed, and gait speed was based on the average of 2 trials. Because the full sample was not enrolled and the results are considered unreliable, no statistical analysis was performed other than calculating means and standard deviations. (NCT03761030)

Subjects were asked to determine whether two strings of letters are the same or different. There are 3 pages and the subject is given 30 seconds per page. Scoring is based on the number answered correctly. Scores range from 0 to 21, with the higher the number, the better the score. Because the full sample was not enrolled and the results are considered unreliable, no statistical analysis was performed other than calculating means and standard deviations. (NCT04493320)
Timeframe: Change from Week 3 to Week 7 (post-Step 2)

[18F]-FDOPA PET Measure in Striatal Region of Interest

"[18F]-FDOPA PET quantifies dopamine synthesis capacity in specific brain regions. Lower [18F]-FDOPA uptake in the striatum has been associated with increased depression severity and worse cognitive and motor function in patients. Because [18F]-FDOPA uptake may be sensitive to deficits in dopamine synthesis capacity in older depressed patients, in this study depressed participants at baseline underwent a PET scan to quantify relative [18F]-FDOPA influx rate in the nucleus accumbens bilaterally. Time activity curves (TACs) were extracted within the nucleus accumbens region of interest (ROI) as the average radioactivity in the ROI over time. The occipital lobe, which has the lowest dopamine concentration in the brain, was used as the reference region to yield the Kocc measure of [18F]-FDOPA influx rate. Higher [18F]-FDOPA influx rate (kocc) numbers indicate greater relative influx rate and therefore greater dopamine synthesis capacity." (NCT04493320)

Change in Single Task Gait Speed Test Following Step 2

Patients' gait was assessed as walking speed in cm/s on a 15' walking course. Patients walked at their usual or normal speed for a total of 27' (starting and ending at a point 6 feet prior to and after the 15' course to eliminate acceleration and deceleration effects). Two trials were completed, and gait speed was based on the average of 2 trials. Because the full sample was not enrolled and the results are considered unreliable, no statistical analysis was performed other than calculating means and standard deviations. (NCT04493320)

Change in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale Following Step 1

Secondary outcome measured by the total score of the clinician rated MADRS, a measure of depression severity. The MADRS total score range is 0-60, where higher scores indicate greater depression severity. Because the full sample was not enrolled and the results are considered unreliable, no statistical analysis was performed other than calculating means and standard deviations. (NCT04493320)
Timeframe: Change from Baseline to 3 weeks (post Step 1)
