Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pharmacokinetics Measurements to Determine Cmax for Carbidopa (CD) and Levodopa (LD) Plasma Concentrations From Samples Collected Pre-dose and at Different Time Points on Day 1 and Day 8 of Periods 1 and 2 of Both Treatment Arms.
For both treatment arms: Sequence 1 (IPX066, Washout, then IR CD-LD) and Sequence 2 (IR CD-LD, Washout, IPX066), blood samples for measurement of LD and CD plasma concentrations were collected pre-dose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, and 8 hours after dosing on Day 1 (referred to as Single-Dose data); and at pre-dose, 0.5, 1,1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 hours after dosing on Day 8 (referred to as Multiple-Dose data). Maximum (peak) drug concentration (Cmax in nanograms/milliliter) was estimated using Single-Dose data and Multiple-Dose data.
Pharmacokinetics Measurements to Determine Tmax for Levodopa and Carbidopa Plasma Concentrations From Samples Collected Pre-dose and at Different Time Points on Day 1 and Day 8 of Periods 1 and 2 of Both Treatment Arms.
For both treatment arms: Sequence 1 (IPX066, Washout, then IR CD-LD) and Sequence 2 (IR CD-LD, Washout, IPX066), blood samples for measurement of LD and CD plasma concentrations were collected pre-dose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, and 8 hours after dosing on Day 1 (referred to as Single-Dose data); and at pre-dose, 0.5, 1,1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 hours after dosing on Day 8 (referred to as Multiple-Dose data). Time of maximum drug concentration (Tmax in hours) was estimated using Single-Dose data and Multiple-Dose data.
Pharmacokinetics Measurements to Determine Area Under the Concentration-time Curve for the Dosing Interval for LD and CD Concentrations From Blood Collected Pre-dose and at Different Time Points on Day 1 and Day 8 of Periods 1 and 2 of Treatment Arms.
For both treatment arms: Sequence 1 (IPX066, Washout, then IR CD-LD) and Sequence 2 (IR CD-LD, Washout, IPX066), blood samples for measurement of LD and CD plasma concentrations were collected pre-dose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, and 8 hours after dosing on Day 1 (referred to as Single-Dose data); and at pre-dose, 0.5, 1,1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 hours after dosing on Day 8 (referred to as Multiple-Dose data). Area under the concentration-time curve for the dosing interval (AUC Tau) in hour*nanogram/milliliter was estimated using Single-Dose data and Multiple-Dose data.

Secondary Outcome Measures

8-Hour Efficacy Using Day 1 Tapping
Improvement in "Tapping: has been used as a surrogate endpoint for assessing subject being "On". Finger Tapping: the number of times the subject could tap two counter keys 20 cm apart alternately in 1 minute with the most affected arm assessed every 30 minutes on Day 1. Subjects performed the 60-second tapping measurement three times prior to dosing in the clinic, and at half-hour intervals through the 8-hour measurement period on Day 1 of each treatment period. More hours "On" during treatment represented better outcome. For the Tapping measurement, the protocol defined a 20% change from the average of the predose measurements as the time to "On." Each half-hour interval counted as 0.5 hour. Any measurement below a 20% improvement was considered time "Not On." If patient required redosing then primary analyses adjusted for redosing in calculating the results.
8-Hour Efficacy Using Day 1 Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III Score
To determine efficacy on Day 1 the UPDRS (unified Parkinson's disease rating) Part III score, a clinician-scored measure of motor function, was collected immediately predose and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 h post dose. The UPDRS Part III motor exam analyzes multiple motor functions like speech, facial expression, tremor, rigidity, movement, posture, gait etc. Each parameter is assigned values from 0 to 4, with 0 being normal and 4 being the most affected. The total range is 0 - 108, with lower scores indicating a better outcome.The average of post dose was calculated for day 1.
Result Summary of Day 1 Dyskinesia Evaluated by Investigator Assessment for Each Treatment Period
To determine 8h efficacy on Day 1 the on site investigator assessments of "ON", "OFF" and "state of dyskinesia" for each subject was collected predose (-1, -0.5, and 0 hours) every 30 min for up to 8 hours after dosing . For all subjects duration of (1) OFF time (2) ON time without dyskinesia, (3) ON time with non-troublesome dyskinesia and (4) ON time with troublesome dyskinesia was calculated for both treatments. Definition of "ON" was based on a 20% change from predose measure, and the results were analyzed in the standard manner of a two way crossover design. The trial inclusion criteria included ability of subject to differentiate "ON" state from "OFF" state per investigator's assessment.
"Off" Time Hours Reported by Subjects Using Parkinson's Patient Diary
Subjects recorded state of "OFF" time using the Parkinson's Patient Diary

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, motor effects, and assessed the safety of IPX066 compared with an immediate-release cabridopa-levodopa formulation in subjects with advanced Parkinson's disease.
Detailed Description
This was a randomized, multicenter, open-label, single and multiple oral dose, two-treatment, two-period, crossover study in LD-experienced subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD). Subjects received 7 days of one treatment (IPX066 or IR CD-LD) followed by an approximate 7-day washout period followed by another 7 days of the other treatment (IR CD-LD or IPX066). During the approximate 7-day washout period, subjects took their prestudy CD-LD regimen. Pharmacokinetic and efficacy/pharmacodynamic measurements were done on Days 1 and 8. Safety measures (electrocardiograms [ECGs], clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, adverse events [AEs], and concomitant medications) were evaluated over the course of the study.
