PROSEEK: A Phase 2 Study In Early Parkinsons Disease Patients Evaluating The Safety And Efficacy Of Abl Tyrosine Kinase Inhibition Using K0706.

Phase 2
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Parkinsons disease,
Registration Number
CTRI/2019/10/021792
Lead Sponsor
Sun Pharma Advanced Research Company Limited
Brief Summary

This study consists of 2 parts. Part 1 of thestudy is conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of twodoses of K0706 compared to placebo in subjects with early Parkinson’s Diseasewho are not receiving dopaminergic therapy. Part 2 is an optional long termextension study for subjects who have completed week 40 of Part 1. Patients canchoose to participate in Part 2 of the study. The extension study was designedto evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug at 76 weeks.

  • Willingness to undergo lumbar puncture and skin biopsy for future testing of substances related to PD or K0706 target engagement.
  • PART 2: Subject has completed the part 1 of the study.
  • Subject projected not to need dopaminergic treatment except for treatment with Monoamine Oxidase B (MAOB) inhibitors.
  • MAOB inhibitors will be allowed if the patient was already taking the same during part 1 of the study.
  • Subject has received K0706/placebo, as appropriate, within 4 weeks prior to end of part 1 of the study.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Current, or within 60 days of Screening, use of any prescription, investigational, or over the counter medication for the symptomatic treatment of PD or to slow the progression of PD.
  • Treatment with Monoamine Oxidase B (MAOB) inhibitors will be allowed if the dose is stable for at least 30 days prior to Screening and subjects agree to remain on it for the duration of the study; 2.
  • Prior use of dopaminergic therapy (e.g., levodopa, dopamine agonist, amantadine) for 30 or more days any time in the past; 3.
  • A diagnosis of a significant central or peripheral nervous system disease affecting the subject’s cognition or motor function at any time, such as another neurodegenerative disorder, multiple sclerosis or stroke.
  • This does not include transient neurological deficits such as transient ischemic attacks or migraine aura; 4.
  • A diagnosis of a medical condition that could interfere with interpretation of the MDS-UPDRS during the trial (e.g., musculoskeletal disorders); 5.
  • Contraindications to receiving an MRI; 6.
  • Contraindications to receiving a DaT SPECT (e.g., hypersensitivity to the active substance, any of the excipients, or iodine) if a new DaT SPECT is required for the study; 7.
  • Most recent DaT SPECT scan not compatible with PD (i.e., Scans Without Evidence of Dopaminergic Deficit [SWEDD]) based on central reading by a study physician; 8.
  • MRI scan of the brain performed after onset of PD suggestive of secondary Parkinsonism (e.g., subdural hematoma, normal pressure hydrocephalus, or infarcts of the basal ganglia); 9.
  • Severe tremors as defined by a score of “severe†on any of the MDS-UPDRS Parts 2 or 3 tremor severity (not constancy) items; 10.
  • Montreal cognitive assessment score < 25; 11.
  • History of any surgery on the brain itself including deep brain stimulation for PD (note this does not include surgeries on the skull that do not affect the brain, e.g., small meningioma removal); 12.
  • History of hypersensitivity (e.g., bronchospasm, anaphylaxis, serious drug rash) to contents of the study drug or other tyrosine kinase inhibitors; 13.
  • Clinically significant or unstable psychiatric or medical condition, vital sign, or laboratory abnormality that in the opinion of the investigator interferes with participation in the study; 14.
  • Any clinically significant cardiac abnormality in the opinion of the investigator.
  • This would include myocardial infarction in the six months prior to screening, or significant ECG abnormality, including heart-rate corrected interval QT (QTc) based on Fridericia’s correction formula > 450 milliseconds for males and > 470 milliseconds for females; 15.
  • History or presence of any gastrointestinal disorder or malabsorption syndrome, which might affect absorption of study drug; 16.

  • This includes neuroleptics (e.g., olanzapine, risperidone, haloperidol), some anti-nausea medications (e.g., prochlorperizine, metoclopramide) and others (e.g., flunarizine, methyldopa); 22.
  • Use of medications that affect the dopaminergic system though do not cause or treat PD, within 60 days of Screening.
