ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Rasagiline has received attention as a potential disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). Whether rasagiline is disease modifying remains in question.OBJECTIVE:
The main objective of this study was to determine whether rasagiline has disease-modifying effects in PD over 1 year. Secondarily we evaluated two diffusion magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequences to determine the best sequence to measure disease progression.METHODS:
This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessed the effects of rasagiline administered at 1 mg/day over 12 months in early-stage PD. The primary outcome was 1-year change in free-water accumulation in posterior substantia nigra (pSN) measured using two diffusion magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequences, one with a repetition time (TR) of 2500 ms (short TR; n = 90) and one with a TR of 6400 ms (long TR; n = 75). Secondary clinical outcomes also were assessed.RESULTS:
Absolute change in pSN free-water accumulation was not significantly different between groups (short TR P = 0.346; long TR P = 0.228). No significant differences were found in any secondary clinical outcomes between groups. Long TR, but not short TR, data show pSN free-water increased significantly over 1 year (P = 0.025). Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale testing of motor function, Part III increased significantly over 1 year (P = 0.009), and baseline free-water in the pSN correlated with the 1-year change in Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale testing of motor function, Part III (P = 0.004) and 1-year change in bradykinesia score (P = 0.044).CONCLUSIONS:
We found no evidence that 1 mg/day rasagiline has a disease-modifying effect in PD over 1 year. We found pSN free-water increased over 1 year, and baseline free-water relates to clinical motor progression, demonstrating the importance of diffusion imaging parameters for detecting and predicting PD progression. © 2021 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.Palabras clave
