Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to provide continued access to levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG), to participants who have already participated in an open-label efficacy and safety study with the same treatment (Study S187.3.003 \[NCT00360568\] or Study S187.3.004 \[NCT00335153\]).
Interventions
LCIG for upper-intestinal infusion is a suspension of levodopa (20 mg/mL) and carbidopa (5 mg/mL) in an aqueous gel that is dispensed in a medication cassette reservoir containing 100 mL of LCIG.
Portable infusion pump (CADD-Legacy Pump Model 1400) connected to the LCIG medication cassette reservoir.
All participants previously had a PEG-J placed in one of the prior LCIG studies.

Pre-assignment details
This study was an open-label extension study for participants with Parkinson's disease (PD) who had completed one of the prior studies S187.3.003 (NCT00360568) or S187.3.004 (NCT00335153). Participants were to receive continued access to levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) in the extension study until treatment became commercially available in their home country.
Participants by arm
| Arm | Count |
|---|---|
| Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel Participants received LCIG continuously administered through a PEG-J directly into the jejunum via a portable pump during 16 hours of wakefulness.
Initial dosing was based on the dosing regimen that the participant received during the previous LCIG study. Dosing was individually optimized and adjusted as clinically indicated.
In addition to a morning dose (to prime the intestinal tube and rapidly achieve the therapeutic dose level) of 5 to 10 mL (100 to 200 mg levodopa), and the continuous infusion usually 2 to 6 mL/hour (40 to 120 mg levodopa/hour), participants were allowed to self-administer additional doses of LCIG to address immediate subjective needs (eg, deterioration of motor function).
Participants received LCIG until it became commercially available. | 262 |

Change in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III Score at End of Treatment
The UPDRS is an Investigator-used rating tool to follow the longitudinal course of PD. It is made up of the following sections: I) Mentation, Behavior, and Mood; II) Activities of Daily Living; III) Motor Examinations; IV) Complications of Therapy sections (including dyskinesias). UPDRS Part III consists of 14 questions. Questions 20 - 26 are multi-part questions in that they are evaluated separately for multiple body parts. Counting each of these assessments leads to a total of 27 answers for Part III. The UPDRS Part III score is the sum of the 27 answers provided to the 14 Part III questions, each of which are measured on a 5-Point scale (0-4). The Part III score ranges from 0-108 and higher scores are associated with more disability. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. The UPDRS was implemented with Protocol amendment 4 (December 2013) for participants at US sites only.

Number of Participants With Sleep Attacks
Participants were asked whether they experienced any events in which they fell asleep suddenly or unexpectedly, including while engaged in some activity (e.g., eating/drinking, speaking, or driving) or at rest, with or without any previous warning of sleepiness. If yes, participants were asked if they suffered any bad outcome or problem from the falling asleep event.
Time frame: Baseline (final assessment period of the previous open-label LCIG study) and every 6 months until final visit; median duration of treatment was 1178 days.
Population: All participants who received LCIG in this extension study with available sleep attack data. The number of participants who experienced a sleep attack with a bad outcome or problem is based on the number of participants who reported sleep attacks.
| Arm | Measure | Group | Value (COUNT_OF_PARTICIPANTS) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel | Number of Participants With Sleep Attacks | Baseline: One or more sleep attacks | 6 Participants |
| Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel | Number of Participants With Sleep Attacks | Baseline: One or more sleep attacks with a bad outcome | 0 Participants |

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events of Special Interest (TE AESI)
Adverse events of special interest (AESIs) were identified using standardized Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) queries (SMQ) or company MedDRA queries (CMQs). The AESI in the following categories were identified on the basis of review of the clinical program and postmarketing observations where the treatment system is commercially available. * Procedure and device associated events * Polyneuropathy, included preferred terms in either the peripheral neuropathy or GuillainBarre syndrome standardized MedDRA query (narrow search), such as polyneuropathy, decreased vibratory sense, peripheral neuropathy, peripheral sensory neuropathy, neuralgia, demyelinating polyneuropathy, and sensory disturbance * Weight loss * Cardiovascular fatalities * Respiratory tract aspiration including aspiration pneumonia/pneumonitis.
Time frame: From first dose of LCIG in this study up to 30 days after the date of last PEG-J exposure; median duration of treatment was 1178 days, with a maximum of 4217 days (11.5 years).
Population: ll participants who received LCIG in this extension study

Number of Participants With Vitamin Levels Outside of the Normal Range
Special tests for vitamin deficiencies (folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, methylmalonic acid \[MMA\], and homocysteine) were implemented with Protocol Amendment 2 (27 July 2011). The number of participants with vitamin levels outside of the normal range at any time post-baseline is reported for each vitamin tested.
Time frame: Every 6 months (beginning with implementation of Protocol Amendment 2) until final visit; median duration of treatment was 1178 days.
Population: All participants who received LCIG in this extension study with at least one post-baseline measurement for each parameter.
