What this trial studies

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluates the efficacy of Lenrispodun as an adjunctive therapy for patients with Parkinson's Disease who experience motor fluctuations, specifically wearing off symptoms and levodopa-induced dyskinesia. The study consists of a screening period to assess eligibility, followed by a 4-week double-blind treatment phase where participants receive either Lenrispodun or a placebo. After treatment, there is a 1-week safety follow-up period to monitor any adverse effects. The goal is to determine if Lenrispodun can improve motor function in these patients.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 40 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease and experiencing motor fluctuations while on stable doses of levodopa.

Not a fit: Patients who are not on a stable dose of levodopa or those with advanced stages of Parkinson's Disease beyond Hoehn and Yahr stages 2 or 3 may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly reduce motor fluctuations and improve the quality of life for patients with Parkinson's Disease.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using adjunctive therapies for managing motor fluctuations in Parkinson's Disease, suggesting potential for success with this approach.

7\. Have wearing-off symptoms and levodopa-induced dyskinesia as per Investigator judgment; 8. Properly complete and return a self-reported home diary for motor function status (Hauser Diary) during the Screening Period, which confirms 3 days (ie, 3 consecutive, 24-hour periods) immediately prior to Baseline, each with at least 2½ hours of OFF time during waking hours.

9\. Has a caregiver to assist with study participation, if determined by the Investigator to be necessary.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Medical history indicating parkinsonism other than idiopathic PD, including but not limited to, progressive supranuclear gaze palsy, multiple system atrophy, drug-induced parkinsonism, essential tremor, primary dystonia;
2. Has late-stage PD, severe peak-dose dyskinesia, clinically significant end-dose or biphasic dyskinesia, and/or unpredictable or widely swinging fluctuations in their symptoms as assessed by the Investigator;
3. Exhibits clinical signs of dementia as indicated by the Mini-Mental State Examination, 2nd Edition: Standard Version (MMSE-2:SV) score of ≤ 24;
4. Use of moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors within 5 half-lives of Baseline or CYP3A4 inducers within 2 weeks of Baseline;
5. Daily use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), with the exception of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA);
6. Use of MAO-A inhibitors, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, or alpha blockers including tamsulosin, within 5 half-lives of Baseline;
