Real-World check: can a new infusion drug ease advanced Parkinson's?
NCT ID NCT06965374
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 270 Italian adults with advanced Parkinson's disease who are already prescribed Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa, a drug given as a continuous infusion under the skin. Researchers will track how the drug affects quality of life over 12 months using a standard questionnaire. The goal is to see how well the treatment works in real-world settings, outside of strict clinical trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa (a drug combination given as a continuous infusion under the skin)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa improves daily life and symptom control for people with advanced Parkinson's in routine care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational, real-world study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. It is also limited to Italian participants, which may not apply to other populations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants with a diagnosis of levodopa-responsive advance Parkinson's disease (PD) * Investigator decision on participant treatment with subcutaneous Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa (LDp/CDp) made prior to, and independently, the decision to approach the participant to participate in the study * 24-h subcutaneous LDp/CDp treatment prescribed in accordance with the applicable approved label and local regulatory and reimbursement policies Exclusion Criteria: * Any condition included in the contraindications section of the approved local subcutaneous LDp/CDp label * Participation in a clinical trial of an investigational drug, concurrently or within the last 30 days. Participation in another Post-Marketing Observational Study (PMOS) or Registry is acceptable * History of relevant skin conditions or disorders (e.g., psoriasis, atopic dermatitis) per investigator´s judgment. In case of temporary affections like recent sunburn, acne, scar tissue, tattoo, open wound, branding, or colorations, the subject should not be included if the investigator considers these as interfering with the infusion of study drug or with study assessments
