BACKGROUND: IPX203 is a novel oral extended-release formulation of carbidopa/levodopa (CD/LD) developed to address the short half-life of immediate-release CD/LD. In the phase 3 RISE-PD trial, IPX203 significantly improved "Good On" time in patients with Parkinson's disease compared with immediate-release CD/LD. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of IPX203 in an open-label extension of the pivotal phase 3 study. METHODS: This 9-month extension enrolled patients who completed the randomized, double-blind trial. Key efficacy endpoints included Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale and Patient and Clinical Global Impression scores. Adverse events (AEs) were recorded. RESULTS: Improvements in efficacy were maintained and dosing frequency and total daily dose remained stable through the trial. A total of 52.7% of patients experienced ≥1 treatment-emergent AE, mostly mild or moderate and occurred within the first 90 days of treatment. CONCLUSIONS: In this phase 3 open-label extension, IPX203 exhibited a favorable safety and tolerability profile and sustained efficacy of comparable magnitude to the end of the double-blind study. © 2023 The Authors.
