Levodopa infusion pump We evaluate an ultraconcentrated levodopa administered subcutaneously in patients with motor fluctuations. – We are leading the inclusion internationally of a trial with sublingual Apomorphine. Our Unit leads the inclusion of randomized patients comparing sublingual apomorphine versus the classic subcutaneous apomorphine for the indication in blocking off.
We have reached the first position, in December 2019, in the international inclusion of patients in the trial with sublingual apomorphine and motor blocks in Parkinson. We are also leading the national inclusion of patients in the Clarity AD trial (monoclonal anti-amyloid antibody in early Alzheimer) Finally, in the Graduate trial (monoclonal subcutaneous in Alzheimer)…
The UDIC has been selected to initiate a line of several clinical trials with this D1 dopamine agonist, with a similar mechanism of action to Apomorphine. It will be evaluated in initial Parkinson’s and also in advanced Parkinson’s disease, as add on levodopa therapy. An open label extension is planned.
The UDIC will start a new clinical trial that evaluates the subcutaneous administration of levodopa, using a continuous perfusion pump, to treat motor fluctuations in advanced Parkinson’s isease. It will compare with standard Levodopa in a double-blind study. Up to now this has not been possible due to high volume required. This “ultra concentrated” levodopa…
