Pharmacokinetics of Inhaled Levodopa Administered With Oral Carbidopa in the Fed State in Patients With Parkinson's Disease.

Abstract：

PURPOSE:Levodopa (LD) is the most effective oral pharmacotherapy for the management of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease. However, LD use is complicated by a progressive shortening of the duration of efficacy of a dose, resulting in episodes of inadequate responsiveness, or OFF periods. OFF periods may also occur unpredictably, partly due to the pharmacokinetic (PK) variability of oral LD, resulting from gastrointestinal dysfunction and from the effects of food on absorption. CVT-301 is a levodopa inhalation powder for the treatment of OFF period symptoms in patients on oral dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor/LD. PK and safety profiles of single dose CVT-301, administered with oral carbidopa (CD) and oral CD/LD, were examined in patients with Parkinson's disease in the fed state. METHODS:Eligible patients were aged 30-85 years, with a clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and a body mass index of 18-32 kg/m2, and were receiving treatment with a stable regimen that included oral CD/LD (25/100 mg) (total LD, ≤800 mg/d). A high-fat/protein meal was eaten 4-5 h after the administration of the morning oral CD/LD dose. Blood samples for predose PK analysis were obtained after the meal, followed by a single inhaled dose of CVT-301 84 mg (+25 mg of oral CD) or oral CD/LD (25/100 mg) or vice versa in 2 dosing periods in a crossover design. Blood was sampled at 0, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 45 min and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4 h postdose. Tolerability assessments included treatment-emergent adverse events. FINDINGS:Twenty-three patients were enrolled (65.2% male; 87.0% white; mean age, 69.3 years; mean body mass index, 26.9 kg/m2; mean Parkinson's disease duration, 8.2 years; mean baseline LD dosage, 460.9 mg/d; 73.9% at Hoehn and Yahr stage <2.5). PK analyses were based on LD concentrations without baseline adjustment. Median Tmax values with CVT-301 and oral CD/LD were 15 and 120 min (P < 0.001). Cmax with CVT-301 was lower than with oral CD/LD (590.3 vs 844.3 ng/mL). C10min and C30min values with CVT-301 were approximately twice those with CD/LD (522.9 and 531.5 ng/mL vs 247.3 and 300.9 ng/mL, respectively). %CV for C5min to Cmax with CVT-301 was lower than that with oral CD/LD. The most common treatment-emergent adverse event was cough (CVT-301, 7 patients [30.4%]; oral CD/LD, 1 patient [4.5%]). IMPLICATIONS:PK properties showed that CVT-301 was more rapidly absorbed, with higher plasma LD concentrations in the first 45 min, and demonstrated lower interpatient variability, than was oral CD/LD in the fed condition. The study findings suggest that CVT-301 can be used without regard to food intake. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03887884.
