Summary

This trial is testing UCB0022, a new medication, to see if it can help people with advanced Parkinson's Disease. It is added to their regular treatments to see if it reduces the time they spend with bad symptoms. The goal is to make their usual treatments work better.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 35-80 with advanced Parkinson's Disease who experience significant daily motor fluctuations and are responsive to levodopa therapy. They should be in stages I-III of disease severity, diagnosed with PD for at least 5 years, able to track their symptoms, and agree not to share study info on social media.
What is being tested?
The trial tests UCB0022 as an add-on treatment compared to a placebo in reducing 'OFF time'—periods when standard Parkinson's medications wear off and symptoms return. Participants must be on a stable dose of standard care including levodopa.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, common ones associated with Parkinson's treatments include nausea, dizziness upon standing, sleepiness, hallucinations or other psychiatric effects.

Other Research
Common treatments for Parkinson's Disease (PD) primarily focus on dopaminergic therapies. Levodopa, a dopamine precursor, replenishes brain dopamine levels, directly addressing the deficiency. Dopamine agonists stimulate dopamine receptors, mimicking dopamine's effects to reduce motor symptoms and fluctuations. MAO B inhibitors prevent dopamine breakdown, increasing its availability. These treatments are essential for PD patients as they help manage motor symptoms and fluctuations, improving overall quality of life. The trial UCB0022 is investigating an adjunctive treatment to further reduce motor fluctuations, aiming for more consistent symptom control.
