Official study title
A 12-Week Study of Flexilev With the OraFID Device and App in Parkinson's Patients
Original description
Flexilev is a Parkinson's disease medicine made of small, dissolvable tablets containing low doses of levodopa and carbidopa, allowing doses to be adjusted in small, precise steps. OraFID is a new mechanical device that dispenses the exact number of tablets needed, with better than 99% accuracy, in amounts from 1 to 20 tablets. An optional companion app, Levilog, reminds patients when to take their dose and records how much medicine (tablets and milligrams) was taken.
This 12-week study will mainly assess how acceptable this treatment routine is and how well patients stick with it when using Flexilev with the OraFID device and app. It will also evaluate the treatment's efficacy, safety, and tolerability.
Further description from the registry
This is an open-label, observational, up to 12-week study evaluating patients' experience with Flexilev minitablets delivered through the OraFID dosing device and the Levilog reminder app.
Participants first complete an up-to-two-week run-in period, during which their current treatment is recorded and eligibility is assessed. Eligible patients then switch to Flexilev delivered by OraFID, are trained on the device and app, and receive an individualized dosing schedule based on their doctor's evaluation and prior treatment. Other daytime levodopa medications are stopped during the study, though slow-release levodopa is allowed at night; levodopa infusions are not permitted.
Within a week of starting treatment, patients receive a follow-up phone call to confirm or adjust the dosing schedule and check for any safety or device/app issues. This is followed by a 12-week treatment period, with phone check-ins at weeks 4 and 8 and an in-person visit at week 12. Dose adjustments are permitted throughout the study if needed.
