A Phase IIa, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Single Dose, Safety and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Study of INP103 (POD L-dopa) Administered in the Presence of Decarboxylase Inhibitor to L-dopa Responsive Parkinson's Disease Patients

Detailed description

This is a Phase IIa randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single dose study to compare the safety, tolerability and PK/PDyn of intranasal L-dopa following administration of INP103 in the presence of L-dopa decarboxylase inhibitor (DCI) during an OFF episode.

Intervention model description

Thirty-Two (32) to Thirty-Six (36) subjects will be randomized to treatment or placebo. INP103 is a drug-device combination product containing a drug component, L-dopa, and device component, the I231 Precision Olfactory Delivery (POD) device. In Cohorts 1, 2, and 3, L-dopa will be administered intranasally in single doses of one (35 mg), two (70 mg) or four (140 mg) puffs of INP103, 60 minutes after oral benserazide hydrochloride 25 mg. In Cohort 4 the INP103 formulation will contain L-dopa:carbidopa administered nasally. Dosing will take place once OFF episode is confirmed and will not include predosing with oral benserazide.

Shown to be responsive to L-dopa medication (≥ 30% improvement in MDS-UPDRS Part III Motor Examination score) as assessed during the Screening period (Visit 2) 5. On a stable dose of L-dopa containing medication for at least 2 weeks prior to Visit 1 (up to 1200 mg/day) with no single dose exceeding 250 mg. All other anti-PD medication (e.g. dopamine agonists \[DAs\], monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor (MAOB-I) or catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitors ARE allowed if the subject has been on a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to Visit 1. 6. Willing to omit their (usual) PD drugs (e.g. usual regular anti-PD medication including any L-dopa containing medication, DAs and/or COMT inhibitors and any required anti-OFF treatment) from 22:00 pm the evening prior to study dosing until 120 minutes post study treatment dosing. Cohorts 1, 2 and 3 ONLY WILL take oral benserazide 25 mg on arrival at the research site (at 60 ± 5 minutes before dosing with INP103 or placebo).

MDS-UPDRS is a clinimetric assessment of subjective and objective symptoms and signs of Parkinson's disease created by the Movement Disorder Society with high internal consistency. MDS-UPDRS retains the four-scale structure with a reorganization of the various subscales. The subscale used in this study is Part III, motor examination (18 items). The subscale now has 0-4 ratings, where 0 = normal, 1 = slight, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe.

MDS-UPDRS is a clinimetric assessment of subjective and objective symptoms and signs of Parkinson's disease created by the Movement Disorder Society with high internal consistency. MDS-UPDRS retains the four-scale structure with a reorganization of the various subscales. The subscale used in this study is Part III, motor examination (18 items). The subscale now has 0-4 ratings, where 0 = normal, 1 = slight, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe. The total of the subscales has a maximum value of 132 and a minimum value of zero. Lower scores indicate better motor function. A negative change from baseline indicates improved motor function.
