Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Motor symptoms as assessed by the Movement Disorder Society's Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) | 18 months | Change from baseline in the MDS-UPDRS. The MDS-UPDRS contains 4 subscales: Part I, non-motor aspects of experiences of daily living (13 items); Part II, motor aspects of experiences of daily living (13 items); Part III, motor examination (33 scores based on 18 items); Part IV, motor complications (6 items). The rating for each item, or sub-item, is from 0 (normal) to 4 (severe). The total score for each Part is obtained from the sum of the corresponding item scores. |
| MSA symptoms/signs as assessed by the Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) | 18 Months | Change from baseline in the Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) and compared to placebo. UMSARS total scores range from 0-104 points with higher scores indicating greater severity of impairment. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in the quality of life as measured by Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) | 18 months | Change from baseline in the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). PDQ-39 is a self-reported 39-item questionnaire designed to measure health related quality of life in Parkinson's Disease patients. It provides scores in 8 domains: mobility, activities of daily living, emotions, stigma, social support, cognitive function, bodily discomfort and communication, as well as a summary index score for quality of life. |
| Change in the quality of life as measured by Multiple System Atrophy Quality of Life (MSA-QoL) | 18 months | Change from baseline in the Multiple System Atrophy Quality of Life (MSA-QoL) scale. MSA-QoL is a self-reported questionnaire that measures MSA impact in day to day activities. Scale consists of 40 items with a five response option format (0 - no problem to 4 extreme problem) and a "not applicable" response option. |
