Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Phase II, multi-centric, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel design clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Donepezil in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Disease (PD-MCI). A total of 120 patients with PD-MCI will be randomized to 12 months of oral Donepezil 10mg or matching placebo (1:1).

Primary and co-primary efficacy endpoints are cognitive and functional cognitive scales:

PD-CRS and PD-CFRS. Secondary efficacy endpoints include: cognitive tests evaluating attention, executive functions, language, memory and visuospatial domain; mood, anxiety, and apathy scales; questionnaires to evaluate quality of life; and subjective impression scales. Serum Neurofilament light chain, genetic screening of GBA, ApoE and MAPT, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging will be performed in a subset of these patients.

The study will be conducted in 20 different centers around Spain. The Movement Disorders Unit of the Neurology Department at Sant Pau Hospital (Barcelona, Spain) will be the coordinating center.
