NeuroDerm Ltd., a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, announced positive results from the Phase III BouNDless trial of ND0612, a continuous 24-hour infusion of levodopa/carbidopa for Parkinsons Disease patients with motor fluctuations. The trial met its primary endpoint of Good ON time, demonstrating superior efficacy over oral levodopa/carbidopa. Only 6.3% of patients discontinued the trial, with 5.5% due to adverse events.

Submissions to regulatory authorities are anticipated in the United States this year and later in the European Union.

Phase 3 Clinical Trial Evaluating Continuous Subcutaneous Carbidopa/Levodopa (ND0612) Initiated In The United States For Parkinson's Disease With Motor Fluctuations
Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America, Inc. has announced the initiation of the Phase 3 BouNDless study to investigate the efficacy of ND0612, a potential non-surgical continuous treatment for Parkinsons disease. The study aims to compare the treatment to oral immediate-release carbidopa/levodopa (CD/LD) in patients experiencing motor fluctuations. The company recognizes the limitations of current therapeutic options and hopes to develop a treatment that stabilizes CD/LD plasma levels and alleviates motor fluctuations. The clinical development of ND0612 is being led by NeuroDerm, and if regulatory approval is obtained, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America intends to commercialize the therapy in the U.S. The study design will be presented at an upcoming conference. Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation.
