Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

It is hoped that TAK-071 will help people with Parkinson's disease to walk with better balance. The main aim of the study is to check if there is a difference in how participants walk after treatment with TAK-071. Another aim is to see if it improves how participants think and remember.

At the first visit, the study doctor will check who can take part. Participants who can take part will be picked for 1 of 2 groups by chance.

Both groups will have 2 treatments but in a different order. The treatments are TAK-071 tablets or placebo. In this study, a placebo will look like the TAK-071 but will not have any medicine in it.

One group will take TAK-071 for 6 weeks, have at least a 3-week break, then take a placebo for 6 weeks. The other group will take a placebo for 6 weeks, have at least a 3-week break, then take TAK-071 for 6 weeks. The participants will not know the order of their 2 treatments, nor will their study doctors. This is to help make sure the results are more reliable.

The participants will visit the clinic at the beginning and end of each treatment for a check-up. 14 days after the 2nd treatment, clinic staff will telephone the participants for a final check-up.

Parkinson Disease; Healthy Participants	Drug: TAK-071; Drug: Placebo	Phase 2

Detailed Description

The drug being tested in this study is TAK-071. TAK-071 is being tested to treat people with PD who have cognitive impairment and are at risk for falls and who are not concurrently taking acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. The study will look at the efficacy and safety of TAK-071 in participants with PD who take TAK-071 versus placebo.

The study will also evaluate the PK of TAK-071 in healthy participants (sentinel cohort) older than 55 years.

The study will enroll approximately 74 participants. An initial sentinel cohort of 10 healthy participants will be included to estimate age effects. Participants aged 56 to 75 years will be randomly assigned in 3:1 ratio to one of the two treatments:

• Sentinel Cohort: TAK-071 7.5 mg

• Sentinel Cohort: Placebo

Enrolment for participants aged 40 to ≤ 85 years in the main study will start simultaneously with sentinel cohort. Based on PK, safety, and physiologically based PK modelling data from sentinel cohort, dosing will be decided for the remaining participants. Participants with maximum age of 66 to 85 years, inclusive, will be enrolled at a dose of 5 mg, and the dose for subjects aged 40 to 65 years, inclusive, will be 7.5 mg. All participants will be asked to take one tablet at the same time each day throughout the study.

The remaining participants aged 40 years to <=85 years will be randomly assigned in 1:1 ratio to one of two treatment sequences in crossover design:

• TAK-071 + Placebo

• Placebo + TAK-071

The study will be conducted in the United States. The minimum time to participate in this study is approximately 15 weeks. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic and will have home assessments during the third Week of each 6-week treatment period, and will be contacted by telephone at 14 days after completion of the last period for a follow-up assessment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Change from Baseline in Gait Variability during a 2-minute Dual-Task Walking Test After 6-week Treatment with TAK-071 Compared with Placebo [Baseline and Week 6 (for each study period)]

   Variability in gait will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of taking TAK-071 or placebo. Participants will be asked to walk back and forth along a 10-meter long hallway for 2 minutes with and without serial subtraction.

2. Sentinel Cohort, Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration for TAK-071 in Healthy Participants [Day 1: pre-dose and Day 2 to 8: post-dose and at multiple time-points (up to approximately 168 hours)]

3. Sentinel Cohort, Tmax: Time to Reach the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for TAK-071 in Healthy Participants [Day 1: pre-dose and Day 2 to 8: post-dose and at multiple time-points (up to approximately 168 hours)]

4. Sentinel Cohort, AUC(0-24): Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to 24 Hours for TAK-071 in Healthy Participants [Day 1: pre-dose and Day 2 to 8: post-dose and at multiple time-points (up to approximately 168 hours)]

5. Sentinel Cohort, AUClast: Area Under The Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 To The Last Quantifiable Concentration in Healthy Participants [Day 1: pre-dose and Day 2 to 8: post-dose and at multiple time-points (up to approximately 168 hours)]

6. Sentinel Cohort, AUCinf: Area Under The Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 To Infinity in Healthy Participants [Day 1: pre-dose and Day 2 to 8: post-dose and at multiple time-points (up to approximately 168 hours)]

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. Change from Baseline in Global Cognition Profile [Baseline and Week 6 (for each study period)]

   Global cognition profile will be assessed using battery of tests to assess attention, executive functioning and memory. All tests would be combined to provide a composite score such that a higher score will indicate better performance.

2. Ctrough: Observed Concentration at the End of a Dosing Interval for TAK-071 in Parkinson's Disease (PD) Participants [Periods 1 and 2, Day 42: pre-dose and at multiple time-points post-dose]

3. Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration for TAK-071 in PD Participants [Days 1 and 105: pre-dose and at multiple time-points post-dose]

4. AUC(0-24): Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve for TAK-071 in PD Participants [Days 1 and 105: pre-dose and at multiple time-points post-dose]

5. Tmax: Time to Reach the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for TAK-071 in PD Participants [Days 1 and 105: pre-dose and at multiple time-points post-dose]

Participants with DLB (i.e., dementia diagnosed before onset of motor symptoms or up to 1 year after onset of motor symptoms) are also eligible, consistent with MDS clinical diagnostic criteria for PD.

3. Has Hoehn and Yahr stage ≥2 and <4 at the screening visit.

4. Has elevated risk for falls as indicated by at least 1 fall in the last 12 months before the screening visit based on the Fall History Assessment where in the opinion of the investigator the falls were a consequence of PD and are at continued elevated risk of falls per investigator judgment.
