Efficacy and Safety Study of CVT-301 In Parkinson's Disease Patients With OFF Episodes (SPAN-PD™)

May 23, 2019 updated by: Acorda Therapeutics

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of CVT 301 (Levodopa Inhalation Powder) in Parkinson's Disease Patients With Motor Response Fluctuations (OFF Phenomena) (SPAN-PD™)

This randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of inhaled CVT 301 compared with placebo in PD patients experiencing motor response fluctuations (OFF phenomena) as an outpatient (i.e., at home) and in the clinic.

Patients who successfully complete this study will be eligible to enroll into a 12 month treatment extension (CVT-301-004E) study.
