Summary

Achieving sustained blood levels of carbidopa/levodopa has been a challenge in the treatment of PD and although levodopa remains the most commonly used drug, motor fluctuations remain a major disability especially in advanced Parkinson's disease. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of a novel oral carbidopa-levodopa formulation in achieving a sustained blood level of levodopa and carbidopa in normal volunteers.
