This novel reformulation of the goldstandard Parkinson disease treatment (carbidopa/levodopa) is delivered via a subcutaneous pump for the treatment of motor fuctuations in advanced Parkinson disease. “In addition to serving a niche group of patients with high unmet need, it offers better efficacy than orally administered carbidopa-levodopa, dosing flexibility and a more convenient pump than existing and upcoming competitors,” Clarivate said. It is expected to launch in 2023.
