About

The main objective of this study is to evaluate whether persons with Parkinson's disease (PwP) whose Parkinson's disease (PD) symptoms are uncontrolled have improved clinical patient outcomes and quality of life when managed with the aid of objective measurement and use of PKG target ranges compared to PwP treated using only standard of care (SOC) (medical history, physical examination).

Full description

This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare the value of the Personal KinetiGraph® (PKG®) System and SOC vs. the SOC alone for treatment of PwP. The study aims to evaluate clinical outcomes, quality of life outcomes, health economic benefits, duration of controlled status, and need for additional PD treatment through 3 years follow-up of PwP specifically treated to a target range when using the PKG data in the clinical management of PD in routine clinical care compared to those managed with SOC alone. All subjects will be treated by Movement Disorder Specialists and General Neurologists with expertise in PD. Both groups will be recommended to undergo treatment changes until they reach a "controlled state" that is determined by either the clinician using SOC (PKG- Group) or using recommended target ranges for PKG scores and SOC assessments (PKG+ Group). Investigators will utilize standard available treatments to manage these PwP in both groups.

Trial design

Primary purpose: Diagnostic

Allocation: Randomized

Interventional model: Parallel Assignment

Masking: Single Blind

---

0 participants in 2 patient groups, including a placebo group

PKG+ Group

Experimental group

Description:

For subjects in the PKG+ Group, participants will wear the PKG watch prior to all study visits in which the study investigator will review and report on the PKG prior to the visit and use the information to guide the discussion with the subject during the clinical assessment.The PKG will be used to determine if the subject is in the target range or out of the target range based on scores provided by the PKG.

Treatment:

Device: Personal KinetiGraph® (PKG®) System

PKG- Group

Placebo Comparator group

Description:

For subjects in the PKG- Group, participants will wear the PKG watch prior to all study visits, however the investigator will not have access to the PKG report and will use standard of care to determine clinical treatment plans.
