MDS-UPDRS scores increased in a linear fashion over 5 years in patients with de novo PD. MDSUPDRS total scores increased an estimated 4.7 points per year, Part I scores increased 0.99 points per year, and Part III scores increased 2.4 points per year.

*Calculations were based on assumptions of 90% power; a mean ± standard deviation progression of 6.35 ± 6.66 points on MDS-UPDRS Part III for the untreated (control) group, as observed in Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) participants who were not taking dopaminergic medication at 1 year; and a standard deviation of 9.00 points on MDS-UPDRS Part III for the treated group, as observed in PPMI participants who were taking dopaminergic medication at 1 year. Sample size was allocated equally to the treatment and control groups and assumed that data from all participants were valid and usable.

Takeda UPDRS analysis

  • Goals
    • approaches to identify items or factors within the UPDRS that are most sensitive to disease progression, or more broadly, to discuss endpoints that may be useful for internal decision-making.
  • Topics
    • Analytic approach to identify factors that show the highest rate of progression (using UPDRS and/or other variables) and factors that demonstrate close correlation with rate of DaT scan progression.
    • intercurrent addition of dopaminergic therapy
    • time to event / progression milestone endpoints

MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment)

  • 7 subscores: visuospatial/executive (5 points, ie this is more focused on rather than memory!); naming (3 points); memory (5 points for delayed recall); attention (6 points); language (3 points); abstraction (2 points); and orientation (6 points). One point is added if the subject has 12 years of education.
  • MoCA declines only about 0.5 points over 5 years in PD (PPMI 2019 annual meeting)
  • A score of 26 or over is considered to be normal. In a study, people without cognitive impairment scored an average of 27.4;

  • The anchor-based MCID estimated was 1.22, which was calculated as the mean score of 23 participants reaching a change of 10% to 15% on the SIS-perceived recovery score.
  • The distribution-based MCID, according to a 0.5 SD of the baseline, was 2.15
