My neighbor actually works for Abbvie and is very excited about the results of Duodopa. He is under a non disclosure agreement, so I am not privy to a lot of information, but I do know they are aiming for approval by this summer.
He previously worked for the company that sold apomorphine and said the first thing he was going to do when he gets to heaven is thank God for that drug because it changed the lives of so many people. He said he would see people come in a wheel chair and after the injection, walk out the door like a person who never had PD. The best part is...he says he has seen the same kind of results and feels the same way about Duodopa!
I will talk to him this weekend and ask if there are certain requirements for getting the pump.
