Parkinson's Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active controlled clinical Study. Following a screening period, eligible subjects will be enrolled to an open-label oral IR-LD/CD adjustment period; then an open-label ND0612 conversion period; then after optimization periods subjects will be randomized to receive either ND0612 or its matching Placebo with IR-LD/CD. Subjects can continue to an optional open-label extension period.
Detailed description
This is a phase III multi-center, randomized, active-controlled, double-blind, double-dummy (DBDD), parallel group clinical trial, investigating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of continuous subcutaneous (SC) ND0612 infusion in comparison to oral IR-LD/CD in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) experiencing motor fluctuations. This study is comprised of 6 periods: 1. a Screening Period; 2. an open-label oral IR-LD/CD Adjustment Period; 3. an open-label ND0612 Conversion Period; 4. a randomized DBDD active-controlled Maintenance Period; 5. an optional open-label Treatment Extension; and 6. a Safety Follow-up Period.
Interventions
Levodopa/Carbidopa (LD/CD) solution administered SC via infusion pump
Placebo solution administered SC via infusion pump
Encapsulated LD/CD 100mg/25mg
Encapsulated Placebo for LD/CD 100mg/25mg

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The change in daily OFF time | Baseline to the end of DBDD Maintenance Period (12 weeks) | OFF time per patient diary |
