Trial Outcomes & Findings for Feasibility Of Objective Measures and Outpatient Washout in Disease Modifying Trials for Parkinson's Disease (NCT NCT06192823)

NCT ID: NCT06192823

Last Updated: 2026-05-08

Results Overview

The Parkinson's Disease-Related Pattern (PDRP) is a disease-specific metabolic brain network derived from fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) that reflects Parkinson's disease-related abnormalities in regional cerebral glucose metabolism. Individual PDRP scores represent standardized network expression values (z-scores; A Z-score of 0 represents the population mean) calculated relative to a reference population; there is no fixed minimum or maximum score. Higher values indicate greater expression of the Parkinson's disease metabolic pattern. Change was calculated as Day 8 OFF medication score minus Day 1 ON medication score.

Measure
Early-Stage PD
Participants with early-stage Parkinson's disease underwent a one-week supervised dopaminergic medication washout. Assessments included FDG-PET imaging on Day 1 (ON medications) and Day 8 (after washout), as well as daily wearable sensor measurements using the Kinesia ONE system to quantify motor performance (finger tapping bradykinesia and tremor) alongside standard motor and cognitive testing. Safety monitoring and adverse event assessments were performed throughout the washout period.

The Parkinson's Disease Cognitive Pattern (PDCP) is a disease-related metabolic brain network derived from fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) that reflects metabolic abnormalities associated with cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson's disease. PDCP scores represent standardized network expression values (z-scores; Z-score of 0 represents the population mean) calculated relative to a reference population; there is no fixed minimum or maximum score. Higher values indicate greater expression of the Parkinson's disease cognitive metabolic pattern. Change was calculated as Day 8 OFF medication score minus Day 1 ON medication score.

Finger tapping speed was measured using the Kinesia ONE wearable motion sensor system during standardized finger tapping tasks. Accelerometer data were used to generate quantitative finger tapping speed scores reflecting bradykinesia severity. Left and right finger tapping scores were calculated separately and averaged to generate a single daily value for each participant. Scores range from 0 to 4, with higher values indicating greater bradykinesia severity (worse motor impairment). Measurements were recorded daily during the one-week dopaminergic medication washout.

Rest tremor severity was measured using the Kinesia ONE wearable motion sensor system during standardized tremor assessments. Accelerometer data were used to generate quantitative tremor severity scores. Left and right tremor scores were calculated separately and averaged to generate a single daily value for each participant. Scores range from 0 to 4, with higher values indicating greater tremor severity (worse motor impairment). Measurements were recorded daily during the one-week dopaminergic medication washout.
