Study Summary

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial to determine whether oral inosine dosed to moderately elevate serum urate (from ≤5.7 mg/dL to 7.1-8.0 mg/dL) over 2 years slows clinical decline in early PD. Clinical decline will be assessed as change in the primary outcome variable of the Movement Disorders Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS), a composite scale comprising patient- and clinician-reported outcomes.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome of the trial is rate of change in the Movement Disorders Society Unified PD Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) I-III total score over 24 months estimated from a shared-baseline, random-slopes mixed model, censoring follow-up of subjects after initiation of dopaminergic therapy. Parts I-III of the MDS-UPDRS include ratings of non-motor experiences of daily living, motor experiences of daily living, and a motor examination. The MDS-UPDRS is assessed on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from
