NCT02687542 was terminated on 25 September 2017 for insufficient efficacy after an interim analysis, with 108 of approximately 198 planned participants randomized, and no peer-reviewed publication of its results has been identified; results are available only from the ClinicalTrials.gov record and from the discussion in the publication of the linked early Parkinson's disease trial. Groups were unbalanced (44 participants in the 15 mg group and 13 to 23 in each other group), and 1 of 13 and 1 of 15 participants completed treatment in the 1 mg and 3 mg groups. The primary endpoint was analyzed in 87 participants with a Bayesian dose-response model. The registry cautions that week 15 results are affected by missing data and protocol changes after week 10. Doses were fixed at 1, 3, 7, or 15 mg once daily after a 3-week titration.
