Efficacy and Safety of Amantadine Hydrochloride (HCl) ER Tablets to Treat Parkinson's Disease Patients With LID.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study was terminated early due to slow enrollment with 87 of 162 planned subjects enrolled. The purpose of this multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, 16 week study is to compare the efficacy and safety of two different dose levels of Amantadine Extended Release Tablets to placebo for the treatment of levodopa induced dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study was terminated early due to slow enrollment with 87 of 162 planned subjects enrolled. Amantadine has been used for many years as a treatment for Parkinson's disease. It has been reported in the literature to effectively treat the motor complications of levodopa, especially dyskinesia, but it must be given 2 to 4 times a day. The purpose of this multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, 16 week study is to compare the efficacy and safety of two different dose levels of Amantadine Extended Release Tablets to placebo for the treatment of levodopa induced dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease. The dose will be given once a day in the morning so that amantadine concentrations are maintained throughout the day for treating the levodopa induced dyskinesia, but will be lower during the night, potentially reducing the negative impact of amantadine on sleep.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale | The Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale is a validated tool for assessment of dyskinesia (involuntary movements) in Parkinson's Disease patients. Rating consists of the change from baseline to Day 98 of the sum of the 26 questions comprising the questionnaire. Each question in the questionnaire is rated on a 5 point scale from 0-4 where 0 is a better outcome. Questions assess: over the past week total hours with dyskinesia and total hours without dyskinesia; problems with speech, chewing and swallowing, eating, dressing, hygiene, handwriting, hobbies, balance, socializing, emotions, spasm or cramps, pain without dystonia (spasm or cramps) and pain from dystonia, the degree of impairment for each of 7 body parts, and the degree of disability in communication, drinking from a cup, dressing and ambulation. The minimum score is 0 (better) and the maximum score is 130 (worse). | From baseline to Day 98 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Mobility State Self-Assessment - Subject Diary Cards | Change from baseline in the number of awake hours without troublesome dyskinesia (involuntary movements). Every half hour the subject will indicate in the diary if the medication has (ON) or has not (OFF) produced benefits in terms of mobility, slowness and rigidity. Valid diaries of the 3 consecutive days prior to each visit will be averaged with respect to the number of awake hours without troublesome dyskinesia. The change from baseline in the number of waking hours that subjects report being ON without troublesome dyskinesias will be analyzed at analysis visits Day 14 and Day 98 of treatment. Higher scores mean a better outcome and the maximum value is 24 hours. | Day 14 and Day 98 of treatment |
