BACKGROUND: The metabotropic glutamate receptor 5-negative allosteric modulator
dipraglurant reduces levodopa-induced dyskinesia in the MPTP-macaque model. The
objective of this study was to assess the safety, tolerability (primary
objective), and efficacy (secondary objective) of dipraglurant on
levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson’s disease (PD).
METHODS: The study was a phase 2A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized
(2:1), 4-week, parallel-group, multicenter dose-escalation (from 50 mg once daily
to 100 mg 3 times daily) clinical trial involving 76 PD subjects with moderate to
severe levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Safety and tolerability were assessed based
on clinical and biological examination and adverse events recording. Secondary
efficacy outcome measures included the modified Abnormal Involuntary Movement
Scale, UPDRS, and diaries. Pharmacokinetics were measured at 3 visits following a
single dose.
RESULTS: Fifty-two patients were exposed to dipraglurant and 24 to placebo. There
were no major safety concerns. Two subjects did not complete the study because of
adverse events. Most frequent adverse events included dyskinesia, dizziness,
nausea, and fatigue. Dipraglurant significantly reduced peak dose dyskinesia
(modified Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale) on day 1 (50 mg, 20%; P = 0.04)
and on day 14 (100 mg, 32%; P =0 .04) and across a 3-hour postdose period on day
14 (P = 0.04). There was no evidence of worsening of parkinsonism. Dipraglurant
was rapidly absorbed (tmax = 1 hour). The 100-mg dose led to a mean Cmax of 1844
ng/mL on day 28.
CONCLUSIONS: Dipraglurant proved to be safe and well tolerated in its first
administration to PD patients. Its efficacy in reversing levodopa-induced
dyskinesia warrants further investigations in a larger number of patients. © 2016
