Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of IPX203 (carbidopa and levodopa) extended-release capsules (IPX203 ER CD-LD) in comparison to immediate release (IR) CD-LD in the treatment of CD-LD-experienced subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) who have motor fluctuations.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: IR CD-LD
  • Drug: IPX203 ER CD-LD
  • Other: IPX203 placebo
  • Other: IR CD-LD placebo
Phase 3

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, parallel-group study. The study will consist of a 3-week, open-label IR CD-LD dose adjustment period; a 4-week, open-label period for conversion to IPX203; followed by a 13-week double-blind treatment period with subjects randomized in a 1:1 ratio, stratified by center, to receive either IPX203 (with matching IR CD-LD placebo) or IR CD-LD (with matching IPX203 placebo). Approximately 510 subjects will be enrolled to randomize 420 subjects.

    Double dummy placebo tablets
    Other Names:
  • IR CD-LD placebo tablets
  • Active Comparator: IR CD-LD

    Following IR CD-LD dose adjustment and conversion to IPX203 ER CD-LD, subjects will be randomized to IPX203 placebo and IR CD-LD active comparator. IR CD-LD active is tablets and IPX203 active and placebo are capsules. Dosage and frequency is patient specific.

    Drug: IR CD-LD

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in "Good on" time [13 weeks]

      Change from baseline in "Good on" time in hours per day, at the end of double-blind treatment period. "Good on" time is defined as the sum of "On" time without dyskinesia and "On" time with nontroublesome dyskinesia.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in "Off" time [13 weeks]

      Change from baseline in "Off" time in hours per day, at the end of double-blind treatment period.

    2. Patients with "much improved" or "very much improved" on PGI-C [13 weeks]

      Proportion of subjects with either "much improved" or "very much improved" in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) scores at the end of double-blind treatment period.

    3. Change in MDS-UPDRS Part III [13 weeks]

      Change from baseline in the MDS-UPDRS Part III at the end of double-blind treatment period.

    4. Change in MDS-UPDRS Parts II and III [13 weeks]

      Change from baseline in the sum of MDS-UPDRS Parts II and III at the end of double-blind treatment period.
