Acorda’s inhaled Parkinson’s drug meets primary endpoint in Phase III trial

Acorda Therapeutics (NSDQ:ACOR) said today that the phase III clinical trial evaluating its inhaled formulation of Parkinson’s drug levodopa met its primary endpoint. The drug was studied as a therapy for people with Parkinson’s disease experiencing “off” periods, or a re-emergence of symptoms.

The randomized phase III trial enrolled 339 patients to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CVT-301 compared with a placebo in patients with Parkinson’s who experience motor fluctuations. Study participants self-administered the therapy up to 5 times per day for 12 weeks.
