Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Adult males and females, 40 to 80 years of age (inclusive) at the time of Screening (Visit1)
2. Diagnosed with Idiopathic PD (by UK Brain Bank Criteria) with Modified Hoehn & Yahr (H&Y) Stage I-III during an ON period at Visit 1
3. Subjects who are prone to (and recognize) OFF episodes (when their usual PD medication has worn off)
4. Shown to be responsive to L-dopa medication (= 30% improvement in MDS-UPDRS Part III Motor Examination score) as assessed during the Screening period (Visit 2)
5. On a stable dose of L-dopa containing medication for at least 2 weeks prior to Visit 1 (up to 1200 mg/day) with no single dose exceeding 250 mg. All other anti-PD medication (e.g. dopamine agonists [DAs], monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor (MAOB-I) or catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitors ARE allowed if the subject has been on a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to Visit 1.
6. Willing to omit their (usual) PD drugs (e.g. usual regular anti-PD medication including any L-dopa containing medication, DAs and/or COMT inhibitors and any required anti-OFF treatment) from 22:00 pm the evening prior to study dosing until 120 minutes post study treatment dosing.

Cohorts 1, 2 and 3 ONLY WILL take oral benserazide 25 mg on arrival at the research site (at 60 ± 5 minutes before dosing with INP103 or placebo).

Cohort 4 will omit oral benserazide and subjects may be dosed once OFF episode has been confirmed and all baseline assessments have been completed.
7. If female and of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (see Section 4.4) during the study
8. Able and willing to attend the necessary visits at the study centre
9. Willing to provide voluntary written informed consent signed prior to entry into the study
Minimum age
40 Years
Maximum age
80 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Severe dyskinesia (defined as per MDS-UPDRS) during a 'normal day' that would significantly interfere with the subject's ability to perform study assessments
2. In receipt of L-dopa containing medication at > 1200 mg/day
3. History of significant psychotic episode(s) within the previous 12 months in the opinion of the Investigator, or currently receiving anti-psychotic medication at a moderate dose (quetiapine >50 mg/day, risperidone >1 mg/day or olanzapine >2.5 mg/day)
4. Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) = 25 as documented within the previous 36 months or as assessed by Investigator during Screening
5. History of suicidal ideation or attempted suicide within previous 12 months
6. Narrow-angle glaucoma
7. Presence of skin lesions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may be cancerous
8. Females who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or lactating
9. Subjects with any underlying physical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make it unlikely that the subject will comply with or be able to complete the study requirements
10. Use of any medication likely to interact with benserazide, carbidopa or INP103 (see Appendix 5)
11. Laboratory test abnormalities at Screening (Visit 1) deemed clinically significant by the Investigator.
12. History or presence of alcoholism or drug abuse within the 2 years prior to INP103 or placebo dosing
13. Administration of an investigational product in another trial within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to INP103 or placebo dosing
14. Significant nasal congestion, physical blockage in either nostril, or significantly deviated nasal septum as evaluated by the PI or other suitably trained healthcare professional
15. Subjects who have previously shown hypersensitivity to L-dopa or benserazide (for Cohorts 1, 2 and 3), or L-dopa or carbidopa (for Cohort 4) or any of their excipients
