Clinical Review Report: Levodopa/Carbidopa (Duodopa): (Abbvie Corporation): Indication: For the treatment of patients with advanced levodopa-responsive Parkinson’s disease who do not have satisfactory control of severe, debilitating motor fluctuations and hyper-/dyskinesia despite optimized treatment with available combinations of Parkinson’s medicinal products, and, for whom the benefits of this treatment may outweigh the risks associated with the insertion and long-term use of the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy-jejunostomy (PEG-J) tube required for administration [Internet]. Ottawa (ON): Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health; 2018 Sep.

ANCOVA = analysis of covariance; CI = confidence interval; IR = immediate-release; LCIG = levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel; LOCF = last observation carried forward; LS = least squares; MD = mean difference; MMRM = mixed-effects models for repeated measures; OLC = oral levodopa/carbidopa; PBO = placebo; PDHDD = Parkinson disease home diary; SE = standard error.

Note: The diary is completed every 30 minutes for the full 24 hours of each of 3 days prior to selected clinic visits. It reflects both time awake and time asleep. Daily totals are normalized to a 0 to 16-hour scale (i.e., 16 hours of awake time). The normalized totals for the 3 days prior to the visit are averaged for the analysis.

a

LS means, SE, CI, and P values are based on a repeated measures linear regression model of the change from baseline score, with fixed effects for country, study week as a categorical variable, baseline score, treatment, treatment by study week, and baseline by study week interactions, assuming an unstructured covariance matrix.

b

Treatment comparisons are based on an ANCOVA model including effects for treatment, country, and with the corresponding baseline as covariates.
