Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the gastric retentive Accordion Pill™ Carbidopa/Levodopa (AP-CD/LD) is more effective than the commercially available immediate release Carbidopa/Levodopa in reducing motor fluctuations such as "off time" in advanced Parkinson's Disease patients.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Parkinson's Disease Drug: Accordion Pill™ Carbidopa/Levodopa Drug: Sinemet® Drug: Placebo -AP-CD/LD Drug: Placebo- Sinemet Phase 3

Detailed Description:
A multi-center, global, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, parallel-group study in adult subjects with fluctuating PD. The study will have 2 open label Titration periods of 6 weeks each prior to the double blind Maintenance period. In the open label periods all patients will be stabilized on the active comparator Sinemet® and then on AP-CD/LD. The double blind Maintenance period will be 13 weeks long.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from Baseline through study completion, an average of 27 weeks, in the percentage of daily "Off time" during waking hours [ Time Frame: Baseline through study completion, an average of 27 weeks ]
    Change from Baseline through study completion, an average of 27 weeks, in the percentage of daily "Off time" during waking hours based on Hauser Home Diary assessments; Total number of "Off " hours normalized to a 16- hour waking day will also be calculated but only a single p-value applicable to both the percentage and hours will be reported.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from Baseline through study completion, an average of 27 weeks, in "On time" without troublesome dyskinesia during waking hours [ Time Frame: Baseline through study completion, an average of 27 weeks ]
  2. Change in the number of total daily LD doses from Baseline through study completion, an average of 27 weeks (hours) [ Time Frame: Baseline through study completion, an average of 27 weeks ]
  3. CGI-I through study completion, an average of 27 weeks, as recorded by physician & patient [ Time Frame: Baseline through through study completion, an average of 27 weeks, ]
  4. Change from Baseline through study completion, an average of 27 weeks, in total UPDRS Score (Sum of Parts I-III) [ Time Frame: Baseline through study completion, an average of 27 weeks ]

  3. Men or women 30 years of age and higher at initial screening assessment. (For the 100 subjects who enter the Gastroscopy sub study, the age limits are 30-80 years of age, inclusive, at initial screening assessment)
  4. Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, consistent with UK brain bank criteria
  5. Has a good response to Levodopa and is taking at least 4 doses of a Levodopa containing medication (or 3 doses of Rytary) per day during waking hours (not including nighttime long acting levodopa) at a stable dose for at least 28 days prior to initial screening assessment
  6. Other Anti-PD treatment (such as dopamine agonists, selective MAO-B inhibitors, anticholinergic agents or Amantadine) are permitted if stable for at least 28 days prior to study entry and provided they are not anticipated to be changed during the course of the study
  7. Total LD immediate release daily dose of 400 mg to 1300 mg or equivalent prior to initial screening assessment. Specifically for Rytary, doses up to 1755 mg daily are acceptable.
