Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Levodopa carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG)
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo Gel
Treatment: Drugs - Levodopa-carbidopa (LC) oral encapsulated immediate release (IR) tablets
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo (PBO) oral capsules
Treatment: Devices - CADD-Legacy® 1400 ambulatory infusion pump
Treatment: Devices - PEG tube
Treatment: Devices - J-tube

Experimental: Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel (LCIG) + Placebo Capsules - Participants were randomized to LCIG (levodopa, 20 mg/mL and carbidopa monohydrate, 5 mg/mL) and placebo capsules. Participants received the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with jejunal extension (PEG-J) procedure for gel administration of LCIG.

Active Comparator: Placebo Gel + Levodopa-Carbidopa Capsules - Participants were randomized to placebo intestinal gel and oral levodopa-carbidopa (levodopa, 100 mg and carbidopa, 25 mg) Immediate Release (IR) capsules. Participants received the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with jejunal extension (PEG-J) procedure for gel administration of placebo.


Treatment: Drugs: Levodopa carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG)
infusion should be kept within a range of 0.5-10 mL/hour (10-200 mg levodopa/hour) and is usually 2-6 mL/hour (40-120 mg levodopa/hour)

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo Gel
