Study Summary

This trial will test a drug (SER-214) that may help treat Parkinson's, administered via syringe to assess safety & effect in people with early, stable or untreated PD.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 40-80 with early, stable or untreated Parkinson's disease who can handle weekly injections and follow-up visits. They must not have used dopamine agonists recently but may be on other Parkinson's medications. Women of childbearing age need to use contraception and test negative for pregnancy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
SER-214, a new form of rotigotine (a drug that acts like dopamine in the brain), given as a weekly subcutaneous injection, is being tested for safety and how it's processed by the body in people with Parkinson’s Disease.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions at the injection site, nausea/vomiting, low blood pressure when standing up, excessive sleepiness or impulse control disorders due to sensitivity to dopamine agonists.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 3Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects in Cohort 3 will receive a single SC injection of 50 mg SER-214 at the beginning of week one, followed by a single SC injection of 100 mg SER-214 at the beginning of week two, followed by a single SC injection of 200 mg SER-214 for two consecutive weeks, followed by a two week wash-out period, to determine PK and terminal "wash-out" PK of rotigotine and pro-drug SER-214.
Group II: Cohort 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects in Cohort 2 will receive a single SC injection of 50 mg SER-214 at the beginning of week one, followed by a weekly SC injection of 100 mg SER-214 for two consecutive weeks, followed by a two week wash-out period, to determine safety, tolerability and PK and terminal "wash-out" of rotigotine and pro-drug SER-214.
Group III: Cohort 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects in Cohort 1 will receive a single SC injection of 50 mg SER-214 at the beginning of each week for two consecutive weeks, followed by a two week wash-out period, to determine safety, tolerability and PK and terminal "wash-out" of rotigotine and pro-drug SER-214.
Group IV: Cohort 0Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects in Cohort 0 will receive a single subcutaneous injection of 20 mg SER-214, followed by a two week wash-out period, to determine safety, tolerability and PK and terminal "wash-out" of rotigotine and pro-drug SER-214.
