Long-Term Safety of Rivastigmine Capsule and Patch in Patients With Mild to Moderately-Severe Dementia Associated With Parkinson's Disease (PDD) - Full Text View

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to provide long-term safety data for rivastigmine capsule and transdermal patch treatments, in particular the effect of rivastigmine on worsening of the underlying motor symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (PD), in patients with mild to moderately severe dementia associated with PD.

Official Title:	A 76-Week Prospective, Open-Label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Effect of Rivastigmine Capsule and Transdermal Patch on Worsening of the Underlying Motor Symptoms of PD in Patients With Mild to Moderately Severe Dementia Associated With Parkinson's Disease (PDD)

Further study details as provided by Novartis:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Predefined adverse events (AEs) due, or potentially due, to worsening of PD motor symptoms (tremor, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia, fall) [ Time Frame: Throughout the study ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Study drug discontinuations due to predefined AEs that are due, or potentially due, to worsening of PD motor symptoms (tremor, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia, fall) [ Time Frame: Throughout the study ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Change in Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III motor examination scores at Weeks 8, 16, 24, 52 and 76 (or early discontinuation) compared to baseline [ Time Frame: At Weeks 8, 16, 24, 52 and 76 (or early discontinuation) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Change in Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (Mattis DRS-2) scores at Weeks 16, 24, 52 and 76 (or early discontinuation) compared to baseline [ Time Frame: At Weeks 16, 24, 52 and 76 (or early discontinuation) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in Ten Point Clock Test (TPCT) scores at Weeks 16, 24, 52 and 76 (or early discontinuation) compared to baseline [ Time Frame: At Weeks 16, 24, 52 and 76 (or early discontinuation) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in Neuropsychiatric Inventory-10 (NPI-10) scores at Weeks 16, 24, 52 and 76 (or early discontinuation) compared to baseline [ Time Frame: At Weeks 16, 24, 52 and 76 (or early discontinuation) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Activities Of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) scores at Weeks 16, 24, 52 and 76 (or early discontinuation) compared to baseline [ Time Frame: At Weeks 16, 24, 52 and 76 (or early discontinuation) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in UPDRS Part V stage (Modified Hoehn and Yahr Staging)at Weeks 16, 24, 52 and 76 (or early discontinuation) compared to baseline [ Time Frame: At Weeks 16, 24, 52 and 76 (or early discontinuation) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
