IPX203 will be administered in a single-center, open-label, randomized, single-dose, 5-sequence, 5-treatment crossover study in healthy male adults. The treatment periods will be separated by a washout period of at least 7 days. All subjects will receive the following 5 treatments in a randomized sequence. All treatments will be administered with 240 mL of water to subjects in the fasted state.
Treatment A comprises 3 capsules and 2 tablets: 1 capsule of investigational formulations C0017, C0019, C0022 and 2 tablets of carbidopa.
Treatment B comprises 3 capsules and 2 tablets: 1 capsule of investigational formulations C0017, C0019, C0021 and 2 tablets of carbidopa.
Treatment C comprises 3 capsules and 2 tablets: 1 capsule of investigational formulations C0017, C0020, C0021 and 2 tablets of carbidopa.
Treatment D comprises 3 capsules: 1 capsule of investigational formulations C0013, C0016 and C0021.
Treatment E comprises 1 tablet of Stalevo 100. Treatment E comprises 1 tablet of Stalevo 100.
Treatment A regimen contains a total dose of 280mg Levodopa, 250 mg Entacapone and 50 mg of Carbidopa.
Treatment B and C regimens each contain a total dose of 280mg equivalent Levodopa and 400 mg Entacapone formulated with different release characteristics, 50 mg of Carbidopa.
Treatment D regimen contains a total dose of 256mg equivalent Levodopa, 400 mg Entacapone and 50 mg of Carbidopa.
During each treatment period, subjects will remain at the clinical facility from the evening before dosing until approximately 8 h postdose for observation and PK sampling.

Pharmacokinetics
Timepoint [1] 290423 0
Whole blood samples will be obtained within 1 hour predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, and 8 hours postdose.

Safety
Timepoint [1] 304497 0
Any AE that emerges from the time the subject signs the ICF until Study Exit will be recorded and reported. Additional safety parameters (laboratory tests, 12-lead ECG, physical exams, and vital signs), and related information (demographics, concomitant medications) are to be recorded.

The more common adverse reactions seen with carbidopa/levodopa treatment include dyskinesias including, choreiform, dystonic and other involuntary movements, muscle twitching, eye twitching involuntary and nausea.
Other common reactions include mental changes, including paranoid ideation and psychotic episodes; depression, with or without development of suicidal tendencies; and cognitive dysfunction. The most frequent adverse reactions seen with entacapone treatment include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhoea. Urine may be discoloured reddish-brown by entacapone but this is a harmless phenomenon. Entacapone in association with levodopa has been associated with isolated episodes of excessive daytime somnolence and sudden sleep onset. Isolated cases of rhabdomyolysis have been reported. As this study drug is new, it is unknown what all of the possible side effects may be and there may be unknown risks. For a more complete list of possible side effects please ask the study doctor.
