RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Cervical dystonia (CD) is the most common focal isolated dystonia. Preclinical studies report that AMPA-selective glutamate receptor antagonists improve dystonia. Perampanel is a clinically available, AMPA receptor antagonist that has shown efficacy and safety in epilepsy. OBJECTIVES: To determine safety and tolerability of perampanel in CD. METHODS: We performed a phase 2a, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate tolerability and safety of perampanel in CD. Included subjects had primary CD; those on botulinum toxin were 8 weeks post last injection. All subjects received perampanel 2 mg/day, titrated 2 mg weekly over 6 weeks, to maximum 12 mg/day; maintenance phase was 4 weeks, ending at week 10. Primary endpoints included tolerability, defined as ability to remain on perampanel for the maintenance period, at any dose level and safety, determined from adverse events (AEs) collected at each visit. Secondary exploratory endpoints included Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS), quality of life (cervical dystonia impact profile [CIDP]-58) and Clinical Global Impression of change (CGI). RESULTS: CD participants (n = 25) were recruited. Eight subjects withdrew; 4 because of AEs, 3 for other reasons and 1 lost to follow up. One subject tolerated 12 mg/day. Eight subjects (30.8%) tolerated 2 mg, whereas 19.2% tolerated 4 mg/day, and 15.4% tolerated 6 mg or 8 mg/day. All subjects experienced AEs. The most common AEs were dizziness, imbalance, and irritability. Exploratory endpoints of TWSTRS showed some improved pain scores and CIDP-58 improved sleep. CONCLUSIONS: Tolerability to perampanel was variable in CD subjects. Lower doses would be considered for future studies in this population.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate demographic, clinical, and habits/occupational variables between phenotypic extremes in Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS: Databases from nine movement disorders centers across seven countries were retrospectively searched for subjects meeting criteria for very slowly progressive, benign, PD (bPD) and rapidly progressive, malignant, PD (mPD). bPD was defined as Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) stage ≤ 3, normal cognitive function, and Schwab and England (S&E) score ≥ 70 after ≥ 20 years of PD (≥ 10 years if older than 60 at PD onset); mPD as H&Y > 3, S&E score < 70, and cognitive impairment within 10 years from PD onset. We performed between-group analysis of demographic, habits/occupational, and clinical features at baseline and follow-up and unsupervised data-driven analysis of the clinical homogeneity of bPD and mPD. RESULTS: At onset, bPD subjects (n = 210) were younger, had a single limb affected, lower severity and greater asymmetry of symptoms, and lower prevalence of depression than mPD (n = 155). bPD was associated with active smoking and physical activity, mPD with agricultural occupation. At follow-up, mPD showed higher prevalence of depression, hallucinations, dysautonomia, and REM behaviour disorder. Interestingly, the odds of mPD were significantly reduced by the presence of dyskinesia and wearing-off. Data-driven analysis confirmed the independent clustering of bPD and mPD, with age at onset emerging as a critical discriminant between the two groups (< 46-year-old vs. > 68-year-old). CONCLUSIONS: Phenotypic PD extremes showed distinct demographic, clinical, and habits/occupational factors. Motor complications may be conceived as markers of therapeutic success given their attenuating effects on the odds of mPD.
