Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety of Urate Elevation in Parkinson's Disease (NCT NCT00833690)

NCT ID: NCT00833690

Last Updated: 2014-06-05

Results Overview

Defined as the extent to which assigned treatment could continue without prolonged dose reduction (\>48 consecutive days or \>73 cumulative days, which is 10% of total 2-year follow-up) due to adverse experiences (AEs), and was assessed after 6 and 24 months on study drug. Units of measure are percentage points (i.e., % of participants in the group).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Although CSF urate was not measured at baseline, the change of CSF urate from baseline may be indirectly estimated by the ratio of CSF urate (at the 12 week visit when a lumbar puncture was performed) to the serum urate measured in the same subject at baseline. Baseline serum urate and CSF urate concentrations are directly correlated with one another (i.e., individuals with higher serum urate concentrations tend to have higher CSF urate concentrations) even though the concentration of urate in CSF is typically \~10% of that in serum. The ratio of CSF urate to baseline serum urate can be expressed as the percentage of the value of urate concentration measured in serum at baseline that is measured in CSF (at week 12).
