RAPID: Rapid-Acting ParkInson's Drug

The Parkinson Study Group (PSG), under the sponsorship of Teva Clinical Research, has conducted a study for advanced Parkinson's disease patients with motor complications ("on-off" effects). This 20-24 week study of TV-1203/Carbidopa dispersible tablets, a novel investigational variation of levodopa, examined the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of TV-1203/Carbidopa dispersible tablets in treating advanced Parkinson disease patients who had motor fluctuations while being treated with chronic levodopa/carbidopa therapy. Teva Clinical Research, based in North Wales, PA is the U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, LTD, Israel, an international pharmaceutical company headquartered in Israel.

This study enrolled approximately 300 patients at 41 sites across the United States and Canada. For more details, contact one of the participating PSG centers nearest you.
