New pill aims to smooth Parkinson's movement swings
NCT ID NCT05766813
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a drug called lenrispodun in 79 people with Parkinson's disease who experience 'wearing off' symptoms and involuntary movements. Participants took the drug or a placebo once daily alongside their usual treatment. The goal was to see if lenrispodun could improve motor control and reduce troublesome symptoms.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Lenrispodun (a drug taken as a tablet once daily)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, lenrispodun could help people with Parkinson's have more 'on' time with fewer movement problems, improving daily life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 79 people, so results may not apply widely. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female between 40 years of age and older 2. Body mass index of 19.0-40.0 kg/m2; 3. Diagnosis of PD that is consistent with the UK Parkinson's Disease Society (UKPDS) Brain Bank diagnostic criteria; 4. Hoehn and Yahr Scale stage classification of 2 or 3 when in the ON state; 5. Have a clinically meaningful response to levodopa (levodopa + DDCI combination) based on Investigator assessment, and meet the following: 1. Have been on a stable and optimal dose of levodopa (levodopa + DDCI combination: minimum dose of levodopa equivalent to 100 mg three times daily) for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening, and are expected to continue the same dose regimen throughout the Double-blind Treatment Period; 2. If taking other anti-parkinsonian medications (MAO-B \[monoamine oxidase B\] inhibitor, COMT \[catechol-O-methyltransferase\] inhibitor, dopamine agonist) in addition to levodopa, have been on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening and are expected to continue the same dose regimen throughout the Double-blind Treatment Period; 7\. Have wearing-off symptoms and levodopa-induced dyskinesia as per Investigator judgment; 8. Properly complete and return a self-reported home diary for motor function status (Hauser Diary) during the Screening Period, which confirms 3 days (ie, 3 consecutive, 24-hour periods) immediately prior to Baseline, each with at least 2½ hours of OFF time during waking hours. 9\. Has a caregiver to assist with study participation, if determined by the Investigator to be necessary. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Medical history indicating parkinsonism other than idiopathic PD, including but not limited to, progressive supranuclear gaze palsy, multiple system atrophy, drug-induced parkinsonism, essential tremor, primary dystonia; 2. Has late-stage PD, severe peak-dose dyskinesia, clinically significant end-dose or biphasic dyskinesia, and/or unpredictable or widely swinging fluctuations in their symptoms as assessed by the Investigator; 3. Exhibits clinical signs of dementia as indicated by the Mini-Mental State Examination, 2nd Edition: Standard Version (MMSE-2:SV) score of ≤ 24; 4. Use of moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors within 5 half-lives of Baseline or CYP3A4 inducers within 2 weeks of Baseline; 5. Daily use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), with the exception of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA); 6. Use of MAO-A inhibitors, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, or alpha blockers including tamsulosin, within 5 half-lives of Baseline;
