Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to describe the safety and efficacy of opicapone plus standard of care in elderly patients with PD in the real-world setting

Detailed description

This will be a multinational, multicentre, prospective non-interventional study in elderly patients with PD. Approximately 100 patients with PD will be recruited by specialists from approximately 37 sites in European countries. The total enrolment period will be one year, and each patient will be followed for up to one year after enrolment. PD patients with end-of-dose motor fluctuations suitable for additional treatment optimization will be included in the study and split into 2 cohorts: * Cohort 1: 50 patients; standard of care (including L-DOPA) + starting opicapone * Cohort 2: 50 patients; standard of care (including L-DOPA Data will be collected at baseline (date of enrolment), 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months after enrolment. This non-interventional study does not recommend the use of any specific treatments. Use of opicapone and of standard of care are only driven by the physician's decision.

Interventions

Capsules, oral use - 50 mg Use of opicapone is only driven by the physician's decision.

DRUGLevodopa (L-DOPA) + Standard care

Levodopa (immediate- or controlled-release) + Standard care. Use of Levodopa and standard of care are only driven by the physician's decision.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I)at Follow-up visit at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 monthshange of score from baseline at each follow-up visit (from 0=good health to 100=poor health).
Parkinson Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8)at baseline, Follow-up visit at 6,12 monthshange of score from baseline at each follow-up visit (from 0=good health to 100=poor health).
Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)at baseline, Follow-up visit at 6,12 monthschange from baseline at each follow-up visit for each of the 4 sections and for the total score (from 0=no disability to 199=total disability).
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)at baseline, Follow-up visit at 6,12 monthschange from baseline at each follow-up visit (30-point test; score \>26 is normal).
Patients' Global Impressions of Change (PGI-C)at Follow-up visit at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 monthsPercentage of patients for each item at each follow-up visit (from 1=very much improved since the initiation of treatment to 7=very much worse since the initiation of treatment).
