Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeTreatment
Scientific titleThe effect of glycopyrronium bromide on hypersalivation in patients with Parkinson's disease: a randomised, cross-over, double blind, placebo-controlled trial
Study acronymGlyspar study
Study objectivesThe aim of this study is to prove the efficacy of three times daily 1 mg glycopyrronium bromide admixture versus placebo admixture in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) with hypersalivation. Furthermore, the safety of glycopyrronium bromide used in the
mentioned dosage will be further evaluated. In addition, the aim is to perform a pharmacogenetic analysis with these data within the purpose of this study.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedParkinsonian patients, hypersalivation
InterventionWeek one: baseline measurements
Week two: glycopyrronium bromide (three times 1 mg [5 ml] daily) or placebo (three times 5 ml daily) will be taken
Week three: new baseline measurements
Week four: cross-over glycopyrronium bromide (three times 1 mg [5 ml] daily) or placebo (three times 5 ml daily) will be taken
Week five: final visit

Patients score the extent of hypersalivation three times a day on a daily basis (scale from one to nine).
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Glycopyrronium bromide
Primary outcome measurePercentage of patients with a decrease of three points on the hypersalivation score (on a scale from one to nine).
Secondary outcome measuresThe difference in mean improvement on the hypersalivation score between the two groups. Furthermore, the difference in reported adverse events will be analysed.
