Brief Summary:
This is a 17-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, flexible-dosing, parallel-group, multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of suvecaltamide for the treatment of moderate to severe residual tremor in adult participants with Parkinson's disease (PD). The target population represents participants who have tremor that is not adequately controlled by PD medications and that interferes with their activities of daily living (ADL) and/or with their performance of tasks.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Parkinson Disease Tremor | Drug: Placebo Drug: Suvecaltamide | Phase 2 |
Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive suvecaltamide or placebo and stratified by the Essential Tremor Rating Scale (TETRAS) composite outcome score (≤ 17 or > 17) as assessed at baseline. The maximum total duration of the study for each participant will be 23 weeks, with a maximum treatment duration of 17 weeks. For each participant, the study consists of a Screening Period (up to 4 weeks), a 5-week Dose Titration and Optimization Period, a 12-week Maintenance Period, and a 2-week Safety Follow-up Period.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Change from Baseline to Week 17 on the Essential Tremor Rating Scale (TETRAS) Composite Outcome Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 17 post-dose. ]The TETRAS composite outcome score is the sum of modified items 1 - 11 of the TETRAS-ADL subscale and modified items 6 - 7 of the TETRAS-PS. The TETRAS-ADL subscale is a patient-rated scale administered by a trained interviewer that assesses the impact of tremor on day-to-day functioning, such as eating, drinking, dressing, and other fine motor skills. The TETRAS-PS is a clinical rating scale that quantifies tremor in the head, face voice, limbs and trunk. Items 6 (drawing an Archimedes spiral using left and right hands) and 7 (handwriting) of the TETRAS-PS evaluate the impact of upper limb tremor on performance. Each item from the modified subscales ranges from 0 - 3, with 0 representing normal or slightly abnormal and 3 representing severely abnormal. The sum of the 14 items provides the TETRAS composite outcome score, which ranges from 0 - 42, with higher scores representing more severe tremor.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Proportion of Participants Who Improved (≥ 1-point improvement) from Baseline to Week 17 on the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 17 post-dose. ]The CGI-S is a 5-point Likert-type rating scale assessed by qualified personnel to assess the severity of the impact of tremor in PD on the participants' ability to function. The responses to this investigator-completed scale range from 1 (no limitations) to 5 (severe), with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.
- Change from Baseline to Week 17 on The Essential Tremor Rating Scale, Activities of Daily Living Subscale (TETRAS-ADL) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 17 post-dose. ]The TETRAS-ADL subscale is a patient-rated scale of the impact of tremor on day-to-day functioning administered by a trained interviewer. The TETRAS-ADL subscale directly measures how a patient functions by assessing activities impacted by tremor, such as eating and drinking, dressing and personal hygiene, carrying items, and fine motor skills. The TETRAS-ADL has 12 items and each item is rated on a 0 (normal) to 4 (severe) scale, with higher scores representing more severe tremor.
- Proportion of participants who improved (≥ 1 point) from Baseline to Week 17 on the Patient's Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 17 post-dose. ]The PGI-S is a 5-point Likert-type rating scale, with response options ranging from 1 (no limitations) to 5 (severe), with higher scores indicating a worse outcome. The participant will rate his/her impression of the severity of the impact of their tremor in PD on their current ability to function.
- Proportion of participants who were much improved on the Patient's Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) at Week 17 [ Time Frame: Week 17 post-dose. ]The PGI-C is a 5-point Likert-type rating scale that participants use to rate the change in severity of their ability to function due to tremor since baseline. The responses to this scale range from 1 (Much improved) to 5 (Much worse), with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.
- Proportion of Participants who were Much Improved on the Clinician's Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) at Week 17 [ Time Frame: Week 17 post-dose. ]The CGI-C is a 5-point Likert-type rating scale that a qualified medical personnel will use to rate the change in severity of the participants' ability to function due to their tremor since baseline. The responses to this scale range from 1 (Much improved) to 5 (Much worse), with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.
- Change from Baseline to Week 17 on The Essential Tremor Rating Scale, Performance Subscale (TETRAS-PS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 17 post-dose. ]The TETRAS-PS is a clinical rating scale performed by a blinded rater that quantifies tremor in the head, face, voice, limbs, and trunk. Each item will be rated on a scale of 0 (normal) to 4 (severe). The sum of the individual scores provides the overall score, ranging from 0 to 64, with higher scores representing more severe tremor.
- Change from Baseline to Week 17 on TETRAS total score (TETRAS-ADL + TETRAS-PS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 17 post-dose. ]The TETRAS total score is the sum of the scores of the full TETRAS-ADL and TETRAS-PS subscales. Each item is rated on a 0 (normal) to 4 (severe) scale, and total scores range from 0 to 112, with higher scores representing more severe tremor. The TETRAS-PS is performed by a blinded rater.
- Change from Baseline to Week 17 on the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Tremor Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 17 post-dose. ]The tremor items from the MDS-UPDRS consist of 1 item from Part II (Item 2.10) and 10 items from Part III (Items 3.15a,b, 3.16a,b, 3.17a-e, and 3.18). These items are graded on a severity score of 0 to 4 (normal, slight, mild, moderate, severe). Item 2.10 assesses the patient report of the presence of tremor and impact on daily activities. Items 3.15, 3.16, and 3.17 are clinician assessments of the amplitude of distinct types of tremor (resting, postural, and kinetic respectively)in the right and left upper extremities separately. Item 3.17 also includes separate clinician assessments for both lower extremities and for the lip/jaw. Item 3.18 provides a clinician assessment of the constancy of rest tremor without regard to anatomical location. For the 11 individual assessments the maximum possible total score of these tremor items is 44, with higher scores indicating more

Criteria
KEY Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of clinically probable or clinically established Parkinson's disease (PD) meeting the Movement Disorder Society (MDS) 2015 criteria.
- Participants must be individually optimized on PD medications for the treatment of other cardinal signs of PD (bradykinesia, rigidity) per the judgment of the investigator.
- Participants must be on a stable dosing regimen of their permitted PD and/or other tremor (eg, propranolol) medications for the treatment of motor symptoms for at least 6 weeks prior to screening and do not anticipate the need to make any changes for the duration of the study. A lack of use of medications used to treat motor symptoms also must be stable for 6 weeks prior to screening and remain stable for the duration of the study.
-
