Importance: Medical treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson disease (PD) is an unmet need.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ADS-5102 (amantadine) extended-release 274-mg capsules for treatment of LID in patients with PD.
Design, Setting, And Participants: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted between May 7, 2014, and July 22, 2015, at 44 North American sites among patients with PD treated with levodopa who experienced at least 1 hour of troublesome dyskinesia per day with at least mild functional impact.
Background: Many patients with Parkinson disease (PD) have excessive daytime sleepiness and numerous nocturnal sleep abnormalities.
Objective: To determine the safety and efficacy of the controlled drug sodium oxybate in a multicenter, open-label, polysomnographic study in subjects with PD and sleep disorders. Design, Setting, and Patients Inclusion required an Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score greater than 10 and any subjective nocturnal sleep concern, usually insomnia.
The study purpose was to assess the efficacy of intermittent subcutaneous apomorphine (APO) as acute therapy for off episodes in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who had previously received APO for 3 months. Patients (n=62) were randomized to receive double-blind treatment with APO at their typically effective dose (TED; APO), APO at their TED+0.2mL (2.
