Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate the superiority of levodopa - carbidopa intestinal gel over treatment with optimized oral levodopa/carbidopa during 12 weeks.
Detailed Description
Study S187.3.001 (NCT00357994) and Study S187.3.002 (NCT00660387) were 2 identically designed, Phase 3, 12-week, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, multicenter studies recruiting subjects from distinct sites. These studies evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) in the treatment of levodopa-responsive subjects with advanced PD who had persistent severe motor fluctuations, despite optimized treatment with oral levodopa-carbidopa, concomitant with other available antiparkinsonian medications. Participants were randomized to either LCIG active gel + placebo capsules or levodopa-carbidopa immediate release (IR) active capsules + placebo gel. Both treatment arms received the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with jejunal extension (PEG-J) procedure for gel administration, active LCIG or placebo gel. Data from these 2 studies were combined for analysis. The decision to combine the study data for analysis was made before enrollment was completed for both studies.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Average Daily Normalized "Off" Time
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12
Based on the Parkinson's Disease Symptom Diary. "On" time is when PD symptoms are well controlled by the drug. "Off" time is when PD symptoms are not adequately controlled by the drug. The diary is completed every 30 minutes for the full 24 hours of each of 3 days prior to selected clinic visits. It reflects both time awake and time asleep. Daily totals are normalized to a 16-hour scale (i.e. 16 hours of awake time). The normalized totals for the 3 days prior to the visit are averaged for the analysis. Negative change from baseline for "off" time indicates improvement.
