Infusion of Apomorphine: Long-term Safety Study
brief summary
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, safety and tolerability study of continuous apomorphine infusion in subjects with advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD) whose motor fluctuations remain unsatisfactory with levodopa (or levodopa/carbidopa) and at least one other class of drugs or mode of therapy for PD.
detailed description
This Phase 3, multicenter, open-label study will assess the long-term safety and tolerability of continuous subcutaneous infusion of apomorphine in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients whose motor fluctuations remain unsatisfactory with levodopa (or levodopa/carbidopa) and at least one other class of drugs or mode of therapy for PD.
Further, this study will assess the clinical effectiveness of continuous apomorphine subcutaneous infusion in reducing "off" time in advanced PD patients and to assess the clinical effectiveness of continuous subcutaneous infusion of apomorphine in improving "on" time without resulting in an increase in troublesome dyskinesias.
