IPX054, Parkinson disease, Levodopa
Brief summary
The objective is to compare the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of IPX054 and carbidopa-levodopa immediate-release tablets in subjects with idiopathic Parkinson's disease who are currently being treated with a stable regimen of carbidopa-levodopa immediate-release tablets.
Detailed description
IPX054 contains two different drugs called levodopa and carbidopa in one tablet. * levodopa turns into a material called 'dopamine' in your brain. The dopamine helps to improve the symptoms of your Parkinson's disease. * carbidopa belongs to a group of medicines called 'aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitors'. It helps levodopa work more effectively by slowing the speed at which levodopa is broken down in your body.
Interventions
IPX054 containing 25 mg carbidopa and 100 mg levodopa
IPX054 containing 37.5 mg carbidopa and 150 mg levodopa
CD-LD CR containing 50 mg carbidopa and 200 mg levodopa
