Popis: The antiparkinsonian efficacy and tolerability of CQA 206-291, a novel ergoline derivative with potent dopamine agonist properties, were studied during 2 months of treatment in 72 parkinsonian patients. In 36 de novo patients (patients who have not previously been treated with levodopa or dopamine agonists), CQA 206-291 was studied in an open design, while in 36 levodopa-treated patients, CQA 206-291 was studied in a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled design. CQA 206-291 induced in both groups a significant antiparkinsonian effect with an effective dose range of 5-30 mg/day. The spectrum of adverse events was similar to what is commonly observed with dopamine agonists. Further studies are required to assess the putative therapeutic advantages of CQA 206-291 when compared to other antiparkinsonian drugs.
