Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this study will be to provide further evidence of the long-term safety and tolerability of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (Duodopa®) over 12-months in participants with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) and severe motor fluctuations.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study was composed of a screening period followed by 3 sequential on-treatment periods, as follows:

* Screening Period (up to 28 days): determination of eligibility and discontinuation of antiparkinsonian disease medications other than levodopa-carbidopa immediate release (LC-oral) prior to nasojejunal (NJ) tube placement.
* NJ Test Period (2 to 14 days): first hospitalization period, Baseline assessments, placement of NJ tube, and optimization of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) treatment via NJ tube and infusion pump (participant was hospitalized for NJ tube placement but hospitalization was not required for entire duration of LCIG treatment optimization).
* PEG-J Period (2 to 14 days): second hospitalization period; placement of PEG-J tube; further optimization of LCIG treatment.
* Post PEG-J Long-Term Treatment Period (Day 28 to Day 378): LCIG administration via a permanent PEG-J tube and infusion pump, with dosage adjusted according to clinical condition.

Study Groups

Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel (LCIG)

All participants were to receive LCIG, via the NJ tube during the nasojejunal (NJ) Test Period and delivered to the proximal small intestine via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy - with jejunal extension tube (PEG-J) during the Post-PEG-J Long-Term Treatment Period. The starting dose was individually determined based on the daily dose of oral levodopa prior to study enrollment.

The infusion dose was individually optimized for each participant on the basis of response and potential adverse events. During the Post-PEG-J Long-Term Treatment Period, LCIG was expected to be infused continuously over approximately 16 hours daily with a rate of infusion ranging from 1 to 10 mL/hour (20 to 200 mg of levodopa/hour), in most instances.
