ABSTRACT: Objectives
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of DA-9701 on gastrointestinal symptom-related quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease on stable dopaminergic medications.Methods
This multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 4 trial included a total of 144 patients with Parkinson's disease with gastrointestinal dysfunctions based on predefined criteria. Participants were randomized to take either DA-9701 or placebo for 4?weeks, and then both groups were administered DA-9701 for an additional 8?weeks while antiparkinsonian medications were unchanged. The primary outcome measure was gastrointestinal symptoms and related quality-of-life changes assessed on the Korean Nepean dyspepsia index after 4 and 12?weeks of therapy. We also evaluated the impact of DA-9701 therapy on parkinsonian motor symptoms at each time point.Results
The gastrointestinal symptom-related quality-of-life score significantly improved in the DA-9701-treated group compared with the placebo-treated group after 4weeks (adjusted P = 0.012 by linear mixed effect model analysis). The overall gastrointestinal symptom and dyspepsia sum scores improved at 12?weeks after intervention in the DA-9701-first treated group (adjusted P = 0.002 and 0.014, respectively) and also in the placebo-first treated group (adjusted P = 0.019 and 0.039) compared with the baseline. Parkinsonian motor severity was not significantly affected by DA-9701 treatment in both groups at 4 and 12?weeks after intervention. There were no drug-related serious adverse events throughout the trial.Conclusions
DA-9701 therapy improved gastrointestinal symptom-related quality of life, and 12?weeks of daily administration can relieve the overall severity of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease without affecting motor symptoms.
