Key findings include an increase in clinicians opting for pharmacologic therapies and acknowledging patient complaints regarding social anxiety. The company emphasizes the importance of managing TD while addressing underlying psychiatric disorders.
On September 15, 2022, Neurocrine Biosciences presented data on ONGENTYS® (opicapone) at the MDS International Congress in Madrid, Spain. The findings indicate that a once-daily 50 mg dose of ONGENTYS alongside levodopa/carbidopa can reduce soluble-catechol-O-methyltransferase (S-COMT) activity by over 80%, leading to more consistent levodopa exposure in Parkinson’s disease patients. The analysis was based on two previous Phase 1 studies, showcasing significant reductions in S-COMT variability. Survey results on clinician education needs in managing Parkinson’s OFF episodes were also discussed.
