Objective:
Describe the long-term clinical outcomes and disease burden of Parkinson’s disease (PD) in patients with motor fluctuations inadequately controlled by current medications.
Background:
There is limited prospective, real-world data describing the changing clinical outcomes and disease burden for patients with PD. 
Design/Methods:
PROSPECT is a 24-month prospective, observational, international study evaluating the progression and disease burden of patients with PD inadequately controlled by oral conventional therapy (and potentially eligible for device-aided treatments). Key eligibility criteria include patients aged ≥ 30 years inadequately controlled after optimization efforts with available oral medication, and ≥ 2.5 hours of “Off” time/day. The primary endpoint is change in “Off” time from baseline to 24 months assessed by the patients’ PD diary. Other assessments include disease severity (H&Y “On” state), changes in non-motor symptoms (NMS scale [NMSS] and PD Sleep Scale-2 [PDSS-2]), activities of daily living (UPDRS II), quality of life (PD Questionnaire-39 [PDQ-39] and EQ-5D-5L), cognitive function (Mini-Mental State Evaluation), health care resource utilization, caregiver burden (Modified Caregiver Strain Index), treatment satisfaction (TSQM-9) and patient global impression of change in severity (PGIC-S).
Results:

This analysis of baseline demographics and disease characteristics included 232 patients from 7 countries including the US (52.6% male, 72% white, mean age of 67.9 ± 9.4 years, and PD duration of 9.1 ± 5.5 years). At baseline, the mean ± SD Off time (hours/day), H&Y stage, NMSS total score, and PDQ-39 summary index were 5 ± 2.5, 2.2 ± 0.8, 43.4 ± 30.6, and 23.7 ± 14.3, respectively.

Conclusions:

The study is ongoing, and results will provide real-world, long-term prospective insights on the progression of disease burden, clinical outcomes, and treatment patterns in patients with PD.
