Interventions
Levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) for upper-intestinal infusion is a suspension of levodopa (20 mg/mL) and carbidopa monohydrate (5 mg/mL) in an aqueous gel, administered continuously by a portable pump via a percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG-J) tube. The rate of LCIG infusion was expected to be within the range of 1 to 10 mL/hour (20 to 200 mg of levodopa/hour) in most instances over a period of 16 consecutive hours.
After LCIG initiation, participants could take prescribed oral levodopa-carbidopa immediate or continuous release (i.e., oral LC prescribed by the investigator) for nighttime use.
