carbidopa intestinal gel over treatment with optimized oral levodopa/carbidopa during 12 weeks. The study duration is 4 months.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability Study of Levodopa - Carbidopa Intestinal Gel in Levodopa-Responsive Parkinson's Subjects Receiving Optimized Treatments With Parkinson Medicinal Products Who Continue to Experience Persistent Motor Fluctuations

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: To evaluate a difference between levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel and active control in the change from baseline and mean daily 'off' time (hours)

Secondary outcome: To evaluate on time without troublesome dyskinesia, PDQ-39, UPDRS, caregiver burden

Eligibility

Minimum age: 30 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria

- Idiopathic parkinson's disease(PD)according to UKPDS Brain Bank Criteria;

levodopa-responsive and subjects demonstrate some identifiable 'on response' established by observation by investigator and demonstrate sever motor fluctuations in spite of individually optimized treatment and where therapy options are indicated

Exclusion Criteria

- Diagnosis is unclear or a suspicion of other parkinsonian syndromes exists such as

secondary parkinsonism;

- Undergone surgery for the treatment of PD;

- Contraindications to levodopa, subjects with any neurological deficit that may

interfere with the study assessments
