Abstract Details

Long-term Evaluation of Open-label Pimavanserin Safety and Tolerability in Parkinson’s Disease Psychosis
Movement Disorders
P9 - Poster Session 9 (12:00 PM-1:00 PM)
3-008
This multi-year, open-label study assessed the long-term safety and tolerability of pimavanserin 34 mg for treating Parkinson’s disease psychosis (PDP) following participation in previous studies.
Pimavanserin is a selective 5-HT2A inverse agonist/antagonist Previous results from randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies showed pimavanserin to be generally safe, and well tolerated.
This was an 11-year open-label extension (OLE) study in patients with PDP who previously completed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies or an earlier OLE study. Study evaluations included adverse events, motor symptoms, clinical laboratory results, and other safety measures, as well as the Caregiver Burden Scale (CBS) and the Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) scale.
Among 459 participants, mean age was 71 years, 61.7% were male, and 458 (99.8%) had a previous psychiatric history. The median duration of treatment was 454.0 days (range: 1 to 3270 days). Over the entire study period, at least 1 adverse event (AE) occurred in 392 (85.4%) patients; the majority were of mild to moderate intensity, with falls (32.0%), urinary tract infection (19.0%), and hallucinations (13.7%) being most commonly reported. Serious AEs occurred in 188 (41.0%) patients, most often pneumonia, urinary tract infection, aspiration pneumonia, and hip fracture. Discontinuation for an AE occurred in 133 (29.0%) patients. 61 patients died, 59 (12.9%) during treatment or within 30 days after the last dose of study drug; the observed mortality rate was 6.45 per 100 patient-years of exposure. Serious AEs, discontinuation for AEs, and death were more common in age ≥81 years. Mean scores for the CGI-S scale and CBS remained generally stable over 192 weeks (>3.5 years) of the study period allowing for informative assessment of efficacy.
Long-term treatment showed pimavanserin 34 mg once daily to be generally safe and well tolerated. Mortality rates suggested no increased risk following long-term treatment.
