Anybody know the scoop on this?

It is an intestinal gel form of carbidopa/ levodopa delivered via a peg-tube pump.

Peg,

A few of us tried to put a petition to the FDA going on this and no one would sign it!

I had been waiting on this (as has Jim) because it means that applying for FDA approval is next step! With those amazing stats they darn well better approve it.

Here is a link with a bit more detail on clinical results * Seems to meet Safety and Efficacy here (in addition to the living proof we have had for the last 10 or so years from EEC)
