研究概览
简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

时间窗: 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.
