Current pharmacotherapy has limited efficacy and/or intolerable side effects in late-stage Parkinson’s disease (LsPD) patients whose daily life depends primarily on caregivers and palliative care. Clinical metrics inadequately gauge efficacy in LsPD patients. We explored if a D1/5 dopamine agonist would have efficacy in LsPD using a double-blind placebo-controlled crossover phase Ia/b study comparing the D1/5 agonist PF-06412562 to levodopa/carbidopa in six LsPD patients. Caregiver assessment was the primary efficacy measure because caregivers were with patients throughout the study, and standard clinical metrics inadequately gauge efficacy in LsPD. Assessments included standard quantitative scales of motor function (MDS-UPDRS-III), alertness (Glasgow Coma and Stanford Sleepiness Scales), and cognition (Severe Impairment and Frontal Assessment Batteries) at baseline (Day 1) and thrice daily during drug testing (Days 2–3). Clinicians and caregivers completed the clinical impression of change questionnaires, and caregivers participated in a qualitative exit interview. Blinded triangulation of quantitative and qualitative data was used to integrate findings. Neither traditional scales nor clinician impression of change detected consistent differences between treatments in the five participants who completed the study. Conversely, the overall caregiver data strongly favored PF-06412562 over levodopa in four of five patients. The most meaningful improvements converged on motor, alertness, and functional engagement. These data suggest for the first time that there can be useful pharmacological intervention in LsPD patients using D1/5 agonists and also that caregiver perspectives with mixed method analyses may overcome limitations using methods common in early-stage patients. The results encourage future clinical studies and understanding of the most efficacious signaling properties of a D1 agonist for this population. |
