    Abstract Introduction: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common among patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), due to both the disease itself and anti-PD drugs. We hypothesized that transdermal drug administration may result in fewer GI problems. This prospective observational study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01159691) investigated effect of switching to rotigotine transdermal patch from oral anti-PD medications in patients with PD and existing GI symptoms.
    Methods: Patients were enrolled if their physician was planning to switch them to rotigotine because of GI symptoms experienced while receiving oral anti-PD medications. Effectiveness assessments included a visual analog scale (VAS) measuring intensity of GI symptoms from 0 (no disorder) to 100 mm (extremely severe disorder), a questionnaire on the frequency and intensity of six individual GI complaints (heartburn, bloating, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea), each rated 0-12 for a sum score of 0-72, and patient satisfaction regarding GI symptoms over approximately 6 weeks after switching.
    Results: Of 75 patients who received rotigotine, 58 had follow-up data available for final analysis. Intensity of GI complaints improved numerically on both the VAS (47.5 ± 24.4 mm [n = 65] at baseline, 19.7 ± 23.3 mm [n = 58] after around 6 weeks) and the sum score of GI complaints (11.2 ± 9.0 at baseline, 2.1 ± 4.4 [n = 58] after around 6 weeks). Fifty of 58 patients were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" regarding GI symptoms over around 6 weeks following switch to the patch.
    Conclusion: This study suggests that a switch from oral anti-PD medications to rotigotine transdermal patch may improve existing GI symptoms among patients with PD. Additional controlled studies are needed to confirm this finding.

    Abstract Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the effect of switching to rotigotine transdermal patch on severity of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in patients who experienced acute augmentation with previous oral dopaminergics.
    Methods: In this 13-month observational study, adults with moderate-to-severe RLS and augmentation were switched to rotigotine per the physician's independent decision. Assessments included Clinical Global Impression severity score (CGI-1); (primary), treatment regimen for switching (secondary), RLS-6, International RLS Study Group Rating Scale (IRLS), and augmentation severity rating scale (ASRS).
    Results: A total of 99 patients received rotigotine, of whom 46 completed observational period, and 43 were assessed for effectiveness. A total of 5 patients switched to rotigotine after a >1-day drug holiday, 23 switched overnight, 9 had an overlapping switch, and 6 received ongoing oral dopaminergics with rotigotine for ≥28 days. Of the 99 patients, 57 took concomitant RLS medications (excluding switching medications) on at least 1 day. At the final visit, median change in CGI-1 (Hodges-Lehman estimate [95% CI]) was -2.0 (-2.5, -1.50); 37 of the 43 patients improved by ≥1 CGI-1 category, and 16 of 43 were responders (≥50% improvement). RLS-6 and IRLS scores also improved. Patients had median ASRS of 0 at the final visit indicating "no worsening/occurrence of augmentation." ASRS item 1 showed a shift in mean time of symptom onset (24-h clock) from 12:38 (baseline) to 18:25 (final visit). Most common reasons for withdrawal of rotigotine were adverse events (26 patients) and lack of efficacy (14 patients).
    Conclusions: Switching from oral therapies to rotigotine was effective in improving RLS symptoms in 37 of the 43 patients (from the original population of 99 patients) who remained in the study over 13 months.

    Abstract Objective: To provide real-world data on caregiver and physician perceptions of the advantages and disadvantages of rotigotine transdermal patch (Neupro * ) versus oral Parkinson's Disease (PD) medication.
    Methods: Cross-sectional, non-interventional study in routine clinical practice in Germany (NCT01330290). Patients had PD with documented need for care, and had received rotigotine transdermal patch as add-on to oral PD treatment for ≥1 month. Caregivers/nurses and physicians assessed rotigotine transdermal patch versus oral PD medications using questionnaires. Specific questions regarding the possible benefits of transdermal application were asked and comprised questions on: swallowing dysfunction, nausea/vomiting, monitoring therapy, once daily application, application independently from meals, application to sleeping patients, caregiving efforts (caregivers only) and clinical aspects (physicians only). Each question was assessed on a 5 point scale ranging from -2 (major disadvantage) to 2 (major advantage) compared with oral treatment. Primary outcomes were mean total scores of all questions for caregivers/nurses and physicians who provided responses for ≥4 questions. As there are no validated tools to assess physician/caregiver preference in the PD setting, there is no reference against which the current findings can be compared; this study serves to pilot the questionnaires.
    Results: Questionnaire responses from 128 caregivers/nurses and 41 physicians were documented for 147 patients. One hundred (68%) patients had a caregiving family member; 40 (27%) were cared for by a nurse. Mean PD duration was 8.2 (SD 6.3) years; 136 (93%) patients were taking levodopa. Mean total score of caregivers'/nurses' questionnaires was 1.32 (SD 0.67) and of physicians' questionnaires was 1.46 (0.32) indicating a perceived advantage of rotigotine transdermal patch over oral PD therapy. Mean scores for individual questions were in the range 1.03-1.54 for caregivers/nurses and 1.15-1.87 for physicians. When given a choice about rationale to prescribe, physicians cited pharmaceutical form (patch) in 139 (95%) cases and active agent (rotigotine) in 89 (61%) cases.
    Conclusion: Caregivers/nurses and physicians perceived advantages with rotigotine transdermal patch compared to an oral PD medication as add-on therapy in patients with PD; advantages were observed in aspects of medical treatment as well as in everyday situations of caregiving of PD patients.

    Abstract Rotigotine (Neupro) is a non-ergoline dopamine agonist developed for the once daily treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) using a transdermal delivery system (patch) which provides patients with the drug continuously over 24 h. To fully understand the pharmacological actions of rotigotine, the present study determined its extended receptor profile. In standard binding assays, rotigotine demonstrated the highest affinity for dopamine receptors, particularly the dopamine D3 receptor (Ki=0.71 nM) with its affinities to other dopamine receptors being (Ki in nM): D4.2 (3.9), D4.7 (5.9), D5 (5.4), D2 (13.5), D4.4 (15), and D1 (83). Significant affinities were also demonstrated at alpha-adrenergic (alpha2B, Ki=27 nM) and serotonin receptors (5-HT1A Ki=30 nM). In newly developed reporter-gene assays for determination of functional activity, rotigotine behaved as a full agonist at dopamine receptors (rank order: D3>D2L>D1=D5>D4.4) with potencies 2,600 and 53 times higher than dopamine at dopamine D3 and D2L receptors, respectively. At alpha-adrenergic sites, rotigotine acted as an antagonist on alpha2B receptors. At serotonergic sites, rotigotine had a weak but significant agonistic activity at 5-HT1A receptors and a minor or nonexistent activity at other serotonin receptors. Thus, in respect to PD, rotigotine can be characterized as a specific dopamine receptor agonist with a preference for the D3 receptor over D2 and D1 receptors. In addition, it exhibits interaction with D4 and D5 receptors, the role of which in relation to PD is not clear yet. Among non-dopaminergic sites, rotigotine shows relevant affinity to only 5-HT1A and alpha2B receptors. Further studies are necessary to investigate the contribution of the different receptor subtypes to the efficacy of rotigotine in Parkinson's disease and possible other indications such as restless legs syndrome.
