Phase 2
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Parkinsons Disease
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT04777331
Lead Sponsor

586
Inclusion Criteria
  • Diagnosis of idiopathic PD based on MDS criteria with bradykinesia plus one of the other cardinal signs of PD (resting tremor, rigidity), without any other known or suspected cause of parkinsonism
  • On symptomatic PD medication, with stable doses for at least 3 months prior to baseline
  • A diagnosis of PD for at least 3 months to maximum 3 years at screening
  • MDS-UPDRS Part IV score of 0 at screening and prior to randomization
  • Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) Stage I or II in OFF medication state at screening and prior to randomization
  • Dopamine transporter imaging with single photon emission computed tomography (DaT-SPECT) imaging consistent with dopamine transporter deficit, as assessed by the central reader
  • No anticipated changes in PD medication from baseline throughout the study duration based on clinical status during screening
  • Willingness and ability to use a smartphone application to measure PD-related symptoms for the duration of the study
  • Willingness and ability to wear a smartwatch to measure PD-related motor signs
Exclusion Criteria
  • Medical history indicating a Parkinsonian syndrome other than idiopathic PD
  • Diagnosis of PD dementia
  • Diagnosis of a significant neurologic disease other than PD
  • Within the last year, unstable or clinically significant cardiovascular disease
  • Uncontrolled hypertension
  • Drug and/or alcohol abuse within 12 months prior to screening, in the investigator's judgment (Nicotine is allowed, Marijuana use is not allowed)
  • Clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory test results at the screening visit, including hepatic and renal panels, complete blood count, chemistry panel and urinalysis
  • Allergy to any of the components of prasinezumab, a known hypersensitivity, or a previous IRR following administration of any other monoclonal antibody
  • Any contraindications to obtaining a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Any contraindications to DaT-SPECT imaging

PrasinezumabPrasinezumabParticipants will receive an IV infusion of prasinezumab every 4 weeks (Q4W). Participants will enter into the optional Open Label Extension (OLE) once the double-blind treatment period has completed.
PlaceboPlaceboParticipants will receive placebo as an IV infusion Q4W.
