NCT ID NCT07442591

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage study is testing how the body handles WD-1603, a combination of carbidopa and levodopa used for Parkinson's disease, when taken at different time intervals. Twelve healthy adults will take the drug twice a day on three separate days, with gaps of 5, 6, or 7 hours between doses. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood and check for side effects to find the best dosing schedule.
