A Study to Compare Two Dose Strengths of CVT-301 (Levodopa Inhalation Powder) With an Oral Dose of Sinemet® (Carbidopa-levodopa) Tablets

October 24, 2016 updated by: Acorda Therapeutics

A Phase 1 Single Dose Pharmacokinetic Bridging Study to Compare Two Dose Strengths of CVT-301 (Levodopa Inhalation Powder) With an Oral Dose of Sinemet® (Carbidopa-levodopa) Tablets

This study will be an open-label, randomized, three-period cross-over pharmacokinetic evaluation of CVT-301 compared with the Reference Listed Drug (RLD), orally administered carbidopa/levodopa, in healthy volunteers.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The primary objective is to determine the relative bioavailability of two CVT-301 (dose levels 1 and 2) capsules compared with the Reference Listed Drug (RLD) on a per milligram basis.

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: CVT-301

CVT-301 (Dose Level 1): two (low dose) levodopa fine particle dose (FPD) capsules administered to the lung via oral inhalation using the CVT 301 inhaler.

CVT-301 (Dose Level 2): two (high dose) levodopa FPD capsules administered to the lung via oral inhalation using the CVT 301 inhaler.

Sinemet® (carbidopa/levodopa)

All subjects will receive a single dose of low-dose CVT-301 with a 1-day washout between the doses.
All subjects will receive a single dose of high-dose CVT-301 with a 1-day washout between the doses.
All subjects will receive carbidopa/levodopa tablets administered every 8 hours.
Other Names:
  • carbidopa/levodopa
