Abstract
Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel (LCIG) 16-h infusion offers superior symptomatic control than oral levodopa/carbidopa in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (aPD); however, it requires percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement. Foslevodopa/foscarbidopa is an investigational drug being developed for treatment of aPD providing 24-h therapeutic levels of levodopa following subcutaneous (SC) delivery. We characterize levodopa pharmacokinetics (PK) following foslevodopa/foscarbidopa SC infusion and LCIG jejunal infusion in healthy volunteers.
