Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • Safety: Evaluate the safety of donepezil administered for 12 months by measuring blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), blood tests, Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III (MDS UPDRS-III), ECG, and recording of adverse effects. • Primary efficacy: To assess the effects of donepezil administered for 12 months on global cognitive performance by analyzing changes in the Parkinson's Disease-Cognitive Rating Scale (PD-CRS) from baseline to 12 months.;Secondary Objective: - To assess the effects on cognitive functional performance by analyzing changes in the Parkinson's Disease-Cognitive Functional Rating Scale (PD-CFRS) - Evaluate the effects in different tests and cognitive domains analyzing the changes in Trail Making Test A (TMT-A), Direct Digit Span (DSd), Trail Making Test B (TMT-B), Phonetic Fluency (FF), Boston Naming Test (BNTr), Semantic fluency (FS), Free and cued selective reminding test (FCSRT), Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test (ROCF), ROCF recall (rROCF), and Judgment of line orientation (JLO) - Evaluate the effects on anxiety, depression, apathy, psychosis, sleep and dysautonomia - Assess the effects on quality of life - Evaluate the effects on the severity and changes in the general clinical state of the patient, - To assess the effects on the subjective cognitive state by analyzing changes in the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale.;Primary end point(s): Parkinson's Disease-Cognitive Rating Scale (PD-CRS):;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months
