Objective:

To evaluate the effect of investigational ND0612 on PD motor state characteristics in patients with PD experiencing motor fluctuations from the BouNDless (NCT04006210) study.

Background:

Primary efficacy analysis demonstrated superiority of ND0612 over immediate-release levodopa/carbidopa (IR-LD/CD), with a difference of 1.72h (p<0.0001) in Good ON-time.

Design/Methods:

We performed post hoc analysis of diary data and descriptively analyzed the number and duration of episodes spent in each PD motor state. The total number of transitions between any motor state were analyzed by baseline-adjusted Poisson Regression. Patients who completed the double-blind phase of the study were eligible to enter into the ND0612 OLE (up to 54 months). Changes in diary states (from ND0612 initiation in the run-in phase) were normalized to 16h and analyzed using mixed model repeated measures without imputation.

Results:

At the end of the double-blind phase, patients in the ND0612 vs IR-LD/CD group experienced an average of 2.4 vs 3.3 OFF episodes per day, with a total daily OFF-duration of 3.8h vs 5.2h. Participants (ND0612 vs IR-LD/CD) experienced 2.7 vs 3.1 episodes of ON without dyskinesia (total duration of 9.4h vs 7.4h); 1.2 vs 1.4 episodes of ON with non-troublesome dyskinesia (total duration of 2.2h vs 2.7h); and 0.3 vs 0.5 episodes of ON with troublesome dyskinesia (total duration of 0.4h vs 0.7h). The mean number of daily transitions between motor states (ND0612 vs IR-LD/CD) was 5.3 vs 7.1 (p<0.0001). Most (167/232; 72%) participants who entered the OLE, completed 1 year of ND0612 treatment. Efficacy benefits were sustained at Month 12 with a change of –1.86±0.18h in OFF-time (P<0.0001), +1.96±0.18h in Good ON-time, and +2.19±0.26h in ON-time without any dyskinesia. The ND0612 regimen was generally safe and well-tolerated.

Conclusions:

Treatment with ND0612, versus IR-LD/CD, led to more stable motor control in patients with PD and motor fluctuations.
