Who may be able to join
- Participants with PD consistent with the United Kingdom Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank Diagnostic Criteria and who are being treated with stable regimens of oral CD-LD.
- Participants with a score of at least 20 units at Screening on the Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III total score in the "Off" state.

Show all 26Show fewer
- At Screening, the participant is able to differentiate "On" state from "Off" state as determined by at least 75 percentage (%) concordance with a trained rater (that is, investigator or qualified and certified site staff) in "On/Off" ratings for 8 ratings over a 4-hour training period. The concordance must include at least one "On" and one "Off" rating in this 4-hour training period.
- If the concordance is less than 75%, or if it does not include at least one "On" and one "Off" rating within the first 4-hour training period, a second 4-hour training period should be conducted with the participant before being considered for inclusion in the study.
- If during the second 4-hour training-period a concordance of at least 75% is also not achieved, or if it does not include at least one "On" and one "Off" rating, the participant cannot be included in the study.
- At baseline (Visit 1), review of the 3-day PD diaries confirms the following:
- The participant is able to properly complete the PD diaries with valid entries. Inability to properly complete the diaries is indicated when more than 1 day of a diary is not returned or if more than 1 day of the diary is not valid (that is, more than 2 hours [4 half-hour periods] of the 24-hour diary day are missing); and
- The participant has an average of at least 2.5 hours per day of "Off" time, during the hours the participant is awake, over the 3 PD diary days; and
- The participant has at least 1.5 hours of cumulative "Off" time, during the hours the participant is awake, on each of the 3 PD diary days.
- Participant is responsive to CD-LD therapy and currently being treated on a stable regimen of oral CD-LD for at least 4 weeks (greater than equal to [>=] 28 days) prior to baseline (Visit 1) and meets the following criteria:
- Daily Dose Requirements: i. All participants should be taking at least 100 mg of immediate-release (IR) CD-LD or 195 mg of Rytary for the first morning dose.
- For participants taking IR CD-LD (with or without a bedtime dose of CR CD-LD):
- Require a total daily dose of at least 300 mg of LD and a maximum total daily dose of less than equal to [<=]1200 mg LD (from IR CD-LD alone or from IR CD-LD in combination with a single daily bedtime dose of CR CD-LD).
- The maximum individual dose allowed is 250 mg of LD.
- The minimum individual dose should be at least 100 mg of LD. iii. For participants using a catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor:
- Require a total daily dose of at least 300 mg of LD and a maximum total daily dose of less than [<]1000 mg LD.
- The maximum individual dose is 200 mg of LD. iv. For participants using Rytary:
- Require a total daily dose of at least 585 mg of LD and a maximum total daily dose of <2100 mg LD.
- The maximum individual dose is 685 mg of LD. b. Dose Frequency Requirement: i. If a participant is using IR/CR CD-LD alone or in combination with a COMT inhibitor, then the dosing frequency must be 3 to 6 times daily. ii. If a participant is using Rytary, then the dosing frequency must be 3 to 4 times daily.
- Participant is able and willing to provide written informed consent prior to the conduct of any study-specific procedures.
- Participant is able and willing to comply with the protocol, including completion of PD diaries, questionnaires, and available for all study visits and telephone calls.
- Participants who have participated in prior CREXONT clinical studies are allowed to be enrolled in this Phase 4 study.
Who cannot join
- Participant who, in the opinion of the clinical investigator, should not participate in the study based on the CREXONT Prescribing Information.
- Participant had a prior neurosurgical treatment for PD (example, deep brain stimulation [DBS] surgery or neurosurgical ablation treatment procedures) or if such procedure is planned or anticipated prior to Visit 4 (Day 42) of the study.
- Participant received the following within 4 weeks (<=28 days) prior to baseline (Visit 1)

About this study
Official title: Open-Label Phase 4 Study of CREXONT® (Carbidopa and Levodopa) Extended Release Capsules in Parkinson's Disease Patients
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of CREXONT under real world conditions in participants with Parkinson disease (PD).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CREXONT ERDrug
Also called IPX203
CREXONT ER capsule.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| CREXONT ER | Experimental | Participants will receive CREXONT extended release (ER) capsules, orally, as guided by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved prescribing Information. CREXONT ER capsules will contain Carbidopa (CD)/Levodopa (LD) 35.0 milligrams (mg)/140 mg and/or CD/LD 52.5 mg/210.0 mg and/or CD/LD 70.0 mg/280 mg and/or CD/LD 87.5 mg/350 mg. The initial CREXONT dosing regimen will be based on the FDA approved CREXONT prescribing information for dose conversion from prior oral CD-LD medications to CREXCONT. Thereafter the dosing regimen can be optimized as appropriate for the condition of each participant and guided by the FDA approved CREXONT prescribing information, in order to achieve the optimal balance of efficacy and tolerability for each participant. Receives: Drug: CREXONT ER |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in "GOOD ON" time per the Parkinson's Disease Diary to Day 42
"GOOD ON" time is derived from the 3-day Parkinson's disease (PD) diaries. For each day, "GOOD ON" time is calculated by adding the number of half-hour intervals in which either an "on time without dyskinesia" or "on time with non-troublesome dyskinesia" is checked.
Measured: Baseline, Day 42
Secondary outcomes (1)
Change From Baseline in "OFF" time per the PD Diary to Day 42
"OFF" time is derived from the 3-day PD diaries. For each day, "OFF" time is calculated by adding the number of half-hour intervals in which the status "Off" is checked.
Measured: Baseline, Day 42

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing CREXONT ER in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Impax Laboratories, LLC at 27 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 26 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 27 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change From Baseline in "GOOD ON" time per the Parkinson's Disease Diary to Day 42 (time frame: Baseline, Day 42). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Aug 2025.
