amantadine ER (Gocovri), previously known as ADS-5102
  • an uncompetitive antagonist at the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor known to have benefit to relieve the symptoms of dyskinesia and currently the only available molecule for management of dyskinesia.
The rationale of extended release is to provide a therapeutic level of amantadine in the blood for a longer period of time, in this case enabling once a day dosing. Two capsules are administered at bedtime to give a slow increase during sleep, peak levels in the morning and a sustained concentration during the day.

Dipraglurant
by Addex
mGluR5 negative allosteric modulatorPreclinical 2b/3 Js: there seems no preclinical studies, (amantadine is an old drug)
20220627: Addex Therapeutics announced that it has terminated the Phase 2b/3 study evaluating dipraglurant (an mGluR5 negative allosteric modulator) as a potential treatment for dyskinesia associated with PD (PD-LID) due to the slow recruitment of patients
P2a Addex completed a Phase 2a trial for PD LID in 2012. Conducted in the US and Europe, it enrolled 76 people with moderate to severe LID, who received dipraglurant for 28 days, taken at the same time as levodopa. The dose was titrated from 50 mg once daily to 100 mg three times daily over 21 days, and fixed at 100 mg for the last 7 days. The primary endpoint was safety. Clinical endpoints included severity of dyskinesia rated on the modified AIMS on days 1, 14, and 28, plus UPDRS, CGIC), and patient diaries.

The trial met its primary endpoints of safety and tolerability. The treatment group had more severe adverse events than the placebo group; two participants discontinued due to adverse events at 100 mg. Most common were dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and worsening dyskinesia between doses. On clinical endpoints, the treated group saw a 30 percent improvement of dyskinesia compared to placebo. The difference was statistically significant on days one and 14, but not 28. No differences were observed on UPRDS or patient-reported outcomes. The CGIC was improved in 71.2 percent of the treated group compared to 49.9 percent in placebo. Results are published (Tison, 2016 #1711)
P2b/3
(planned)
The study is expected to enroll 140 (70 vs 70) patients for three months of treatment at 50 sites in the United States, and includes a parallel, 12-month open label extension. The primary endpoint will be change in the Unified Dyskinesia Rating scale at 3m

{Tard, 2016 #2604}ERD/ERSparkinsonian patients with freezing of gait (FoG, n = 12) or without freezing of gait (n = 13), and in aged-matched HC (n = 13)event-related desynchronization/synchronization (ERD/ERS);

Attention during step preparation was modulated by means of an auditory oddball discrimination
task. EEG oscillations in different frequency bands were measured for the attentional stimulus and
the motor stimulus.
Over the 500 ms following the sound, low-frequency power increased in all three groups. This was followed by a power decrease in mid-range frequencies after both target and standard sounds in the healthy controls and in the non-FoG group. In contrast, EEG oscillations in the beta band were impaired in the FoG group, who notably failed to display event-related desynchronization after perceiving the sound.
Conclusions: An attentional stimulus was able to trigger event-related desynchronization before motor preparation in the non-FoG group but not in the FoG group.
Significance: In the FoG group, stimulus discrimination was maintained but the coupling between attention and motor preparation was impaired.
Parkinsonian patients with freezing of gait did not display beta desynchronization

Beta oscillations have a role in active immobilization (defined as a "sta tus quo" condition) (Engel and Fries, 2010) and are involved in the pathogenesis of bradykinesia.
Premotor beta ERD is observed before movement onset (i.e. during motor prepa ration or execution) and is correlated with greater
