A high dose of the investigational oral therapy mesdopetam led to a significant and clinically meaningful reduction in levodopa-induced dyskinesia — the uncontrolled, involuntary movements and muscle stiffness common in Parkinson’s disease patients undergoing treatment — in a Phase 2 study, according to an in-depth examination of trial…

A Phase 2b clinical trial testing the investigational oral therapy mesdopetam, which aims to reduce levodopa-induced dyskinesia (involuntary movements) in people with Parkinson’s disease, did not reach its main goal. However, some promising reductions in dyskinesia measures were seen with the treatment. Top-line results from the trial were…

Top-line results are expected next month from a Phase 2b clinical trial testing whether the investigational oral therapy mesdopetam can ease levodopa-induced dyskinesia, or involuntary movements, in people with Parkinson’s disease.
