enrolling for sinemet + entacapone vs IPX066
strange they aren't comparing against sustained release.

i can't get excited either. i already know what sinemet and entacapone do to me [dyskinesai] so the 2 extra hours may be spent miserably.
sorry to be such a cynic!
Subjects converted to IPX066 experienced a reduction from baseline of more than 2 hours in total "off time" during waking hours, and this effect was maintained in the group then randomized to IPX066 during the blinded study portion. While the group treated with IR CD-LD achieved similar improvement during conversion to IPX066, "off time" worsened by 1.0 hours during double blind treatment with IR CD-LD (p<0.0001). In addition, during double-blind treatment, subjects experienced similar results in "on time" without troublesome dyskinesia with an increase of 1.9 hours for IPX066 compared to an increase of 0.8 hours for IR CD-LD as measured from study entry (p<0.001).
