Dopaminergic restauratIon by intraVEntriculaire Administration
Sponsor: University Hospital, Lille
Summary
Prospective monocentric randomized controlled open-label proof-of-concept study in cross-over of two 1-month periods and a long-term follow-up period not to exceed September 30, 2023, with 2 groups: Intracerebroventricular A-dopamine versus optimized oral medical treatment in parkinsonian patients at the stage of severe motor complications (fluctuations and dyskinesias) related to oral L-dopa. In this study it will be expected to: 1) a higher benefit on motor symptoms 2) without tachyphylaxis, 3) a good ergonomic of the intra-abdominal pump refilled with A-dopamine every two weeks as compared with the numerous daily L-dopa doses and 4) a good safety profile of this classical neurosurgical procedure.
Official title: A New Concept of Continuous Dopaminergic Stimulation by Cerebroventricular Administration of A-dopamine (Dopamine Stored in Anaerobia) for Severe Motor Fluctuations in Parkinson's Disease?

Interventions
A-dopamine
During the phase 1 (titration), it is planned to increase dopamine by maximum 0.25 mg per hour over the daytime period, which corresponds to a maximum increase of 4.5 mg per day (based on the 18 hours of the daytime period, since nocturnal needs are much less important). Then, depending on tolerance and efficacy, conservative titration will be continued for a target dose of 30-87 mg per day. During the phase 2 (efficacy), the treatment will be maintained at the minimum effective dose, planned between 30 and 87 mg per day, for 30 days.
optimized oral treatment
The patient will received his usual dopaminergic treatment.
