Brief Summary:
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of deferiprone, an iron-chelating drug, in patients with Parkinson's disease. Participants will be randomized to receive one of four different dosages of deferiprone or placebo, and will take the assigned study product twice a day for nine months.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Parkinson's Disease Drug: Deferiprone Drug: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:
This study will enroll 140 patients who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease within the last 3 years and are currently taking antiparkinsonian medication. There are four dosage cohorts, with patients in each cohort receiving either deferiprone tablets or placebo. At the baseline visit, participants will be randomized to a dosage cohort and to either active product or placebo within that cohort, and will take the assigned study product twice-daily for 9 months. They will come back to the study site for assessments at Months 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9, and will need to have their blood count checked weekly, at either the study site or a local laboratory.

Outcome Measures
Go to

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Score on the Part III subscale of the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) [ Time Frame: Nine months ]
    Change from baseline to Month 9 in motor examination, as assessed by score on Part III of the MDS-UPDRS


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Total score on the MDS-UPDRS [ Time Frame: Nine months ]
    Change from baseline to Month 9 in total score on the MDS-UPDRS

  2. Scores on the Part I, Part II, and Part IV subscales of the MDS-UPDRS [ Time Frame: Nine months ]
    Change from baseline to Month 9 in non-motor experiences of daily living, motor experiences of daily living, and motor complications, as assessed by scores on Parts I, II, and IV, respectively of the MDS-UPDRS

  3. Combined scores from Parts II and III of the MDS-UPDRS [ Time Frame: Nine months ]
    Change from baseline to Month 9 in combined scores from Parts II and III of the MDS-UPDRS

  4. Score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test [ Time Frame: Nine months ]
    Change from baseline to Month 9 in overall cognitive function as assessed by MoCA score

  5. Pharmacodynamics measures of oxidative stress biomarkers [ Time Frame: Nine months ]
    Change from baseline to Month 9 in oxidative stress

  6. Pharmacodynamics measures of inflammatory factor biomarkers [ Time Frame: Nine months ]
    Change from baseline to Month 9 in inflammatory factor

  7. Time until need for rescue medication [ Time Frame: Up to nine months ]
    Time elapsed until the patient is deemed to require a change or increase in antiparkinsonian medication

  8. Safety of deferiprone [ Time Frame: Nine months ]
    Number of subjects with adverse events

  9. Cmax for serum deferiprone and deferiprone 3-O-glucuronide [ Time Frame: 4 hours ]
    Maximum measured serum concentration. Blood samples collected at baseline and Month 3, pre-dose and at 2 hours and 4 hours post-dose.

  10. Tmax for serum deferiprone and deferiprone 3-O-glucuronide [ Time Frame: 4 hours ]
    Time to maximum observed serum concentration. Blood samples collected at baseline and Month 3, pre-dose and at 2 hours and 4 hours post-dose.

  11. AUC0-∞for Serum Deferiprone and Deferiprone 3-O-glucuronide [ Time Frame: 4 hours ]
    Area under the serum concentration time curve extrapolated to infinity. Blood samples collected at baseline and Month 3, pre-dose and at 2 hours and 4 hours post-dose.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female aged ≥18 to < 80 years
  • Body weight ≥60 kg but ≤100 kg

  • Dopaminergic agonist alone
  • L-dopa alone
  • Combination therapy with dopaminergic agonist and L-dopa

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of Parkinson's disease more than 3 years prior to screening visit
  • Hoehn and Yahr stage ≥ 3
  • Atypical or secondary Parkinsonism without dopa-sensitivity (e.g., vascular parkinsonism, supranuclear palsy, multisystem atrophy)

  • Not stabilized in terms of the current antiparkinsonian therapeutic regimen: already requires dose adaptation and/or is likely to require any change in dopamine therapy over the duration of the trial
  • Current treatment with bromocriptine
  • Current treatment with any antiparkinsonian drug other than those listed in the inclusion criteria
  • Current treatment with coenzyme Q10 or idebenone. (Patients who are on these medications but stop taking them at least 2 weeks prior to baseline may be enrolled.)
  • Current use of a Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) system. (Patients who previously had a DBS system but have had it removed may be enrolled.)
