Active clinical trials for "Parkinson Disease"

The objective of this trial is to evaluate safety and efficacy of rotigotine nasal spray (SPM 952) in a single dose application scheme. Subjects will undergo a 2 - 28 days screening period in which eligibility criteria will be checked. Subjects will then be hospitalized for one night. In the morning of the next day, subjects will be randomly assigned either to rotigotine or placebo nasal spray and will then receive a single dose of trial medication. Safety assessments after application include adverse events, 12-lead electrocardiograms, blood pressure and heart rate assessments, and laboratory checks. Efficacy will be assessed by application of motor examination scores. The first subject is planned to be enrolled in February 2006. The last subject is planned to be enrolled in May 2006. Last subject out is expected for August 2006.

The purpose of this trial is to assess whether rotigotine has an effect on the electrical activity of the heart. Moxifloxacin infusion is used as positive control to assess assay sensitivity.

The purpose of this study is to gather data to see if the Laser Cane and/or U-Step Walker with laser accessory is more effective in aiding with gait freezing than a regular cane/U-Step Walker in patients who have idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

Atomoxetine (Strattera) is a drug that is currently approved for treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adults. Atomoxetine works to enhance levels of brain chemicals that may be affected in people with executive dysfunction, (difficulties with organization, task completion, and priority setting). Thus, atomoxetine has the potential to improve executive dysfunction in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The goal of this study is to provide preliminary data on the effectiveness and tolerability of atomoxetine for the treatment of executive dysfunction in patients with PD.

The objective of this open-label extension is to assess the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment of the rotigotine patch in subjects with early-stage idiopathic Parkinson's disease

Evaluation of efficacy and safety on the use of rotigotine in patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease during and after surgery requiring general anaesthesia.

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.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of AVP-923 in the treatment of Involuntary Emotional Expression Disorder (IEED) also known as Pseudobulbar Affect (episodes of uncontrolled crying and/or laughter).

The primary objective of this study will be to provide further evidence of the long-term safety and tolerability of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (Duodopa®) over 12-months in participants with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) and severe motor fluctuations.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double blind, parallel group study of 6 months' treatment with SLV308 as monotherapy in patients with early stage PD. An open label safety extension to this study is planned as a separate protocol for patients who are willing and eligible to participate.
