NCT03047629

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1/2a study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of an orally-administered medication to relieve symptoms of constipation associated with Parkinson's Disease. Ten patients will be enrolled in Phase 1, and will be studied over an 8-12 week period. Forty patients will be enrolled in Phase 2, and will be studied over an 8-10 week period.

  • Insufficient criteria for a diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Constipation for over 6 months, unresponsive to Milk of Magnesia, and requiring at least weekly treatment using an oral laxative, stool softener, bulking agent, and/or a suppository, and dissatisfaction with current treatment.
  • Body Mass Index is 18-40 kg/m2
  • At least 2 of the Rome IV functional constipation criteria are met
  • Loose stools are rarely present without the use of laxatives
  • Patient is willing and able to sign informed consent and comply with all study procedures

  • Diagnosis of secondary constipation beyond that of PD
  • Structural or metabolic diseases that affect the GI system
  • Functional GI disorder
  • Unable or unwilling to withdraw from taking the following medications 2 weeks prior to the dose-escalation period and throughout the study: Laxatives, opiates, sedatives, hypnotics, anti-histamines, protein pump inhibitors or any medications which may cause constipation
  • History of recent major surgery (within 60 days of screening)
  • Any clinically significant abnormalities on screening laboratories or physical examination as determined by the Investigator
  • Neurological disorder other than PD
  • On treatment with intra-jejunal dopamine
  • Treatment with COMT inhibitors for fewer than 4 weeks (entacapone, tolcapone, Stalevo)
  • Unable to maintain a stable diet regimen
  • Patients with a cognitive impairment that preclude them from understanding the informed consent
  • Patients placed under legal guardianship
  • Acute GI illness within 48 hours of the baseline period
