Brief Summary

This is the first clinical study to investigate the efficacy of istradefylline, an adenosine A2A receptor antagonist, also known as a non-dopaminergic anti-parkinsonian agent, for the treatment of postural abnormality in patients with PD using UDRS as the primary outcome during the 24-week treatment. In the present study, Istradefylline was found to be effective for postural abnormalities in PD. Istradefylline may be a potential treatment option for postural abnormality in PD patients on levodopa treatment.
