About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Parkinson Disease

Eligibility Criteria

40 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Ability to understand and signing of informed consent form.
  2. Age 40-75 years at the day of visit 1.
  3. Diagnosis of Parkinson's disease that is based on the United Kingdom brain bank criteria diagnosed after the age of 40.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Safety of oral mannitol in Parkinson's disease as assessed by the number of mannitol-related adverse events, clinically significant changes in vital signs and clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory results.
Safety will be assessed by the number of treatment-related adverse events, number of patients with clinically significant change of vital signs (supine and standing blood pressure and pulse) and number of patients with clinically significant change in laboratory results (electrolytes, renal and liver functions, blood count).
Tolerability of oral mannitol in Parkinson's disease as assessed by the maximal daily dose (in grams) of mannitol that does not cause discomfort.
Tolerability of oral mannitol in Parkinson's disease as assessed by the maximal daily dose (in grams, up to 18 grams per day) of mannitol that does not cause discomfort based on the subjective report by the patient.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time-interval for starting symptomatic therapy (in days) between baseline and week 36, in patients not receiving symptomatic therapy at baseline.
Median time interval will be reported. P-Values as assessed by Mann-Whitney test will be reported. Longer time interval will be considered as a better outcome.
Change in levodopa-equivalent dose units between baseline and week 36.
Total levodopa-equivalent dose (LED units) will be calculated based on Tomlinson, Mov Disord 2010. P-Values as assessed by Mann-Whitney test will be reported. Smaller change will be considered as a better outcome.
Change of Brief Smell Identification Test (B-SIT) score between baseline and week 36.
Median and range of change will be reported. P-Values as assessed by Mann-Whitney test will be reported. Higher absolute positive value (reflecting improved smell) or lower absolute negative value (slower deterioration) will be considered as better outcomes.
Change in constipation assesment (CAS) score between baseline and week 36.
Median and range of change will be reported. Change in score will be reported. P-Values as assessed by Mann-Whitney test will be reported. Lower absolute positive value or higher absolute negative value will be considered as better outcomes.
Change in Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test score between baseline and week 36.
P-Values as assessed by Mann-Whitney test will be reported. Higher absolute positive value or lower absolute negative value will be considered as better outcomes.
Change in non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease scale (NMSS) between baseline and week 36.
Median and range of change will be reported. P-Values as assessed by Mann-Whitney test will be reported. Lower absolute positive value or higher absolute negative value will be considered as better outcomes.
Change in the ratio of total-to-proteinase K-resistant α-synuclein in red blood cells (RBC) measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)between baseline and week 36.
Median and range of change will be reported. P-Values as assessed by Mann-Whitney test will be reported. Higher absolute positive value or lower absolute negative value will be considered as better outcomes.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that causes disabling motor and cognitive impairments. Currently, no disease-modifying therapy exists for this disease. Mannitol, a naturally-occurring substance, which is commonly used as sweetener, was offered as such agent. In this phase II, safety, tolerability-based dose finding, and efficacy study, mannitol or placebo (dextrose) in escalating doses will be given to patients with Parkinson's disease for 36 weeks.
