: Levodopa is the most effective drug in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, but its chronic treatment is linked to the occurrence of motor complications with fluctuations of motor performance and dyskinesia. Unpredictable OFF episodes can be severe and disabling and current rescue medications cannot always be used safely. A rescue therapy characterized by a rapid and predictable ON response and the safety profile of levodopa will represent a major advantage for patients affected from unresponsive OFF episodes.

Abstract

: Levodopa is the most effective drug in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, but its chronic treatment is linked to the occurrence of motor complications with fluctuations of motor performance and dyskinesia. Unpredictable OFF episodes can be severe and disabling and current rescue medications cannot always be used safely. A rescue therapy characterized by a rapid and predictable ON response and the safety profile of levodopa will represent a major advantage for patients affected from unresponsive OFF episodes.
