Amantadine and the Risk of Dyskinesia in Patients with Early Parkinson's Disease: An Open-Label, Pragmatic Trial.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:We examined whether amantadine can prevent the development of dyskinesia. METHODS:Patients with drug-naïve Parkinson's disease (PD), younger than 70 years of age and in the early stage of PD (Hoehn and Yahr scale < 3), were recruited from April 2011 to December 2014. The exclusion criteria included the previous use of antiparkinsonian medication, the presence of dyskinesia, significant psychological disorders, and previous history of a hypersensitivity reaction. Patients were consecutively assigned to one of 3 treatment groups in an open label fashion: Group A-1, amantadine first and then levodopa when needed; Group A-2, amantadine first, dopamine agonist when needed, and then levodopa; and Group B, dopamine agonist first and then levodopa when needed. The primary endpoint was the development of dyskinesia, which was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier survival rate. RESULTS:A total of 80 patients were enrolled: Group A-1 (n = 27), Group A-2 (n = 27), and Group B (n = 26). Twenty-four patients were excluded from the analysis due to the following: withdrawal of amantadine or dopamine agonist (n = 9), alternative diagnosis (n = 2), withdrawal of consent (n = 1), and breach in the protocol (n = 12). After exclusion, 5 of the 56 (8.93%) patients developed dyskinesia. Patients in Group A-1 and A-2 tended to develop dyskinesia less often than those in Group B (cumulative survival rates of 0.933, 0.929, and 0.700 for A-1, A-2, and B, respectively; p = 0.453). CONCLUSION:Amantadine as an initial treatment may decrease the incidence of dyskinesia in patients with drug-naïve PD.

Project description:BackgroundThe treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease (PD) is an unmet need with no approved drug therapy.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of 274 mg ADS-5102 (amantadine) extended-release capsules (equivalent to 340-mg amantadine HCl) for levodopa-induced dyskinesia in a randomized controlled trial.MethodsPD patients with ≥1 hour of troublesome dyskinesia and at least mild functional impact were randomized to placebo or ADS-5102 once daily at bedtime for 13 weeks. The primary efficacy analysis was based on change from baseline to week 12 on the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale total score in the modified intent-to-treat population. OFF time was a key secondary measure.ResultsAt week 12, least-squares mean change in the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale was -20.7 (standard error 2.2) for ADS-5102 (n = 37) and -6.3 (standard error 2.1) for placebo (n = 38; treatment difference -14.4, 95% confidence interval -20.4 to -8.3, P < .0001), indicating improvement in levodopa-induced dyskinesia. OFF time decreased 0.5 hours (standard error 0.3) for ADS-5102 from a baseline mean of 2.6 hours and increased 0.6 hours (standard error 0.3) for placebo from a baseline mean of 2.0 hours (treatment difference -1.1 hours, 95% confidence interval -2.0 to -0.2, P = .0199). The most common adverse events (ADS-5102 versus placebo) included dry mouth (13.5% versus 2.6%), nausea (13.5% versus 2.6%), decreased appetite (10.8% versus 0%), insomnia (10.8% versus 0%), orthostatic hypotension (10.8% versus 0%), constipation (8.1% versus 0%), falls (8.1% versus 5.3%), and visual hallucinations (8.1% versus 5.3%). Adverse events led to treatment discontinuation in 19% versus 8%, respectively.ConclusionADS-5102 274 mg is an oral pharmacotherapy demonstrating a significant decrease in levodopa-induced dyskinesia and improving OFF time. © 2017 The Authors.

Project description:IntroductionThe DYSCOVER study was a phase 3b, open-label, randomized trial (NCT02799381) that evaluated levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) versus optimized medical treatment (OMT) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and a high burden of dyskinesia at baseline (defined as Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale [UDysRS] total score ≥ 30). At week 12, patients receiving LCIG versus OMT experienced significant improvements in dyskinesia, pain, and health-related outcomes. The objective of this analysis was to examine correlations between dyskinesia, pain, and health-related outcomes in PD.MethodsThis post hoc analysis assessed correlations between UDysRS, King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Scale (KPPS), 8-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8), Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part II, Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) or Change (CGI-C), and "On" time without troublesome dyskinesia at baseline and after 12 weeks of LCIG or OMT. Correlations were assessed by Pearson correlation coefficients (categorization: weak, r = 0.20-0.39; moderate, r = 0.40-0.59; strong, r ≥ 0.60).ResultsAmong 61 patients, moderate-to-strong positive and significant correlations were observed between UDysRS and KPPS scores (baseline, r = 0.47; week 12 change from baseline [CFB], r = 0.63; all p < 0.001). UDysRS and KPPS scores had moderate-to-strong positive and highly significant correlations with PDQ-8 scores (baseline, r = 0.45 and 0.46, respectively; CFB, r = 0.54 and 0.64, respectively; all p < 0.001). Moderate positive and significant correlations were observed between UDysRS and CGI-S/CGI-C scores (baseline, r = 0.41; CFB, r = 0.47; all p < 0.001).ConclusionsIn patients with high dyskinesia burden, positive correlations were observed between dyskinesia, pain, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at baseline. Improvements in dyskinesia and pain were associated with improvements in HRQoL, demonstrating the clinical burden of troublesome dyskinesia.Trial registration numberClinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT02799381.

Project description:IntroductionGocovri (amantadine) extended release capsules are approved for treatment of dyskinesia and as a levodopa adjunct for OFF episodes in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). We report treatment-related effects on non-motor symptoms (NMS) assessed as secondary outcomes in two trials using the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part I.MethodsEASE LID and EASE LID 3 enrolled levodopa-treated patients with PD and ≥ 1 h/day ON time with troublesome dyskinesia. Patients were randomized to Gocovri (274 mg) or placebo taken daily at bedtime. Treatment differences from baseline to week 12 in MDS-UPDRS Part I were evaluated for the pooled population (N = 196) from both trials. Correlation analyses of NMS (MDS-UPDRS Part I) with dyskinesia using Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) scores were performed.ResultsFor changes in the MDS-UPDRS Part I items, the treatment difference favored Gocovri in daytime sleepiness (P = 0.006) and depression (P = 0.049) scores, but favored placebo in cognitive impairment (P = 0.038), and hallucinations and psychosis (P < 0.001) scores. The treatment difference for the changes in total Part I score was -0.8, favoring Gocovri (P = 0.22). At baseline, MDS-UPDRS Part I modestly correlated with UDysRS score (r +0.25, P < 0.001), and improvement in NMS correlated with improvement in dyskinesia at week 12 for Gocovri (r +0.39, P < 0.001) but not placebo (r +0.12, P = 0.29). The most commonly reported adverse events for Gocovri were hallucination (21%); dizziness, dry mouth, and peripheral edema (16% each); and constipation, falls, and orthostatic hypotension (13% each).ConclusionThis post hoc analysis shows potential benefit with Gocovri treatment for the NMS of daytime sleepiness and depression in dyskinetic PD patients. Overall, improvement in NMS scores correlated with improvement in dyskinesia.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifiers: NCT02136914 and NCT02274766.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough levodopa is considered the most effective pharmacotherapy for motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), chronic use is associated with motor complications, including fluctuating response and unpredictable, involuntary movements called dyskinesia. ADS-5102 (amantadine) extended-release (ER) capsules (GOCOVRITM) is a recent US FDA-approved treatment for dyskinesia in PD patients. ADS-5102 is a high-dose, ER formulation of amantadine, administered orally once daily at bedtime, that achieves high plasma drug concentrations throughout the day.ObjectiveIn this study, we present pooled results from two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III ADS-5102 trials.Patients and methodsThe two studies in PD patients with dyskinesia shared design and eligibility criteria, differing only in treatment duration. Results from common assessment time points were pooled.ResultsAt 12 weeks, the least squares (LS) mean change in total score on the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale among 100 patients randomized to ADS-5102 and 96 patients randomized to placebo was - 17.7 (standard error [SE] 1.3) vs. - 7.6 (1.3) points, respectively (- 10.1 points, 95% confidence interval [CI] - 13.8, - 6.5; p < 0.0001). The relative treatment difference between groups was 27.3% (p < 0.0001). At 12 weeks, the LS mean change in OFF time was - 0.59 (0.21) vs. +0.41 (0.20) h/day, a difference of - 1.00 h/day (95% CI - 1.57, - 0.44; p = 0.0006). For both efficacy measures, a significant difference from placebo was attained by two weeks, the first post-baseline assessment, and was maintained throughout 12 weeks. In the pooled ADS-5102 group, the most common adverse events were hallucination, dizziness, dry mouth, peripheral edema, constipation, falls, and orthostatic hypotension.ConclusionsThese analyses provide further evidence supporting ADS-5102 as an adjunct to levodopa for treating both dyskinesia and OFF time in PD patients with dyskinesia.
