Effects of Talampanel on Patients With Advanced Parkinson's Disease
Effects of Talampanel on Patients With Advanced Parkinson's Disease Who Have Been on Sinemet for More Than 5 Years and Have Dyskinesia (Abnormal Involuntary Movements)

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of the study drug, Talampanel, when used to treat patients with involuntary movements known as dyskinesias, as a result of treatment to Parkinson's disease.

It is not clear why people with Parkinson's disease develop involuntary movements (dyskinesias) but studies show that blocking receptors in the brain for a chemical called glutamate decreases these movements. Talampanel is a drug which blocks these receptors.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalating study to assess the efficacy and safety of Talampanel on levadopa-induced dyskinesias and to assess the optimal dose of Talampanel in Parkinsonian patients with dyskinesias.
