dihydroxyphenylalanine and Diarrhea

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Diarrhea in 4 studies

Dihydroxyphenylalanine: A beta-hydroxylated derivative of phenylalanine. The D-form of dihydroxyphenylalanine has less physiologic activity than the L-form and is commonly used experimentally to determine whether the pharmacological effects of LEVODOPA are stereospecific.
dopa : A hydroxyphenylalanine carrying hydroxy substituents at positions 3 and 4 of the benzene ring.

Diarrhea: An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight.

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Movement Disorder's Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) (Parts I-III Combined Scores)

"To evaluate clinical progression of PD as assessed by the MDS-UPDRS, combined score, Parts I, II, and III.~Part I - non-motor experiences of daily living; Part II - motor experiences of daily living; Part III - motor examination. Parts I and II each contain 13 questions measured on a 5-point scale (0-4). Part III contains 18 objective rater assessments of the motor signs of PD measured on a 5-point scale (0-4).~Total range for combined score (Part I-III) is = 0-176. Generally for MDS-UPDRS scores and sub-scores, the lower the score, the better.~Parts I, II, and III are summed to make the total score." (NCT02202551)
Timeframe: Up to 101 weeks. MDS-UPDRS was performed at the following visits: Screening, Week 8, Week 16, Week 28, Week 40, Week 52, Week 64, Week 76, Week 88, Week 100 (or ET).

Change From Baseline in Movement Disorder's Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale MDS-UPDRS (Part IV - Motor Complications)

"This component (Questions 4.1 - 4.6) includes time spent with dyskinesia, functional impact of dyskinesia, time spent in OFF state, functional impact of fluctuations, complexity of motor fluctuations, painful OFF-state dystonia. Questions 4.1-4.6 are summed to make the Part IV score.~Generally for MDS-UPDRS scores and sub-scores, the lower the score, the better. Total range for Part IV is = 0-24" (NCT02202551)
Timeframe: 100 Weeks. MDS-UPDRS was performed at the following visits: Screening, Week 8, Week 16, Week 28, Week 40, Week 52, Week 64, Week 76, Week 88, Week 100 (or ET).

Number of Participants With Reported AEs and Safety-Related Study Drug Discontinuations

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ADS-5102 oral capsules, an extended release (ER) formulation of amantadine, administered at a dose of 340 mg once daily at bedtime for the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD). (NCT02202551)
Timeframe: Up to 101 weeks
