Amneal's Parkinson's Candidate Shows Efficacy In Pivotal Trial

  • Amneal Pharmaceuticals Inc AMRX announced topline data from the Phase 3 RISE-PD trial evaluating IPX-203 in patients with Parkinson's disease who have motor fluctuations. 
  • Amneal plans to submit a marketing application for IPX-203 with the FDA in mid-2022.
  • The study demonstrated statistically significant improvement in efficacy for IPX-203 compared to immediate-release CD/LD, even when IPX-203 was dosed on average 3 times per day and immediate-release CD/LD was dosed on average 5 times per day. 
  • IPX-203 treatment resulted in 0.53 more hours of "Good On" time than immediate-release CD/LD when comparing change from baseline.
  • The secondary endpoint for change from baseline in "Off" time showed IPX-203 resulted in significantly less "Off" time compared with immediate-release CD/LD (-0.48 hr). 
  • Analysis of the secondary endpoint for Patients' Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) scores showed 29.7% of patients treated with IPX-203 were "much improved" or "very much improved" compared with 18.8% of patients treated with immediate-release CD/LD.
  • Eight subjects reported serious adverse events (SAEs) in the IPX-203 study arm and four (1.6%) subjects in the immediate-release CD/LD arm. 
  • Treatment-emergent adverse events were reported as (108 [42.2%] for IPX-203, 79 [31.6%] for immediate-release CD/LD).
