Parkinson’s Disease | Unmet Need | Adjunctive Therapies for Motor Response Fluctuations | US/EU | 2021

Although motor fluctuations in Parkinson’s disease (PD) can be managed effectively in early stages of the disease, today’s treatment paradigm is suboptimal owing to considerable pill burden, a risk of motor and nonmotor complications associated with dopaminergic therapy, and a progressive loss of efficacy. In response, the pipeline for therapies targeting motor fluctuations has swelled. With the recent launch of first-in-class A2A receptor antagonist Nourianz, as well as other newer-to-market brands like Xadago and Ongentys, understanding the drivers of clinical decision-making for treating motor fluctuations and prescriber perceptions of approved options will help innovators identify levers for new product positioning and differentiation in this evolving market niche.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

• What are the treatment drivers and goals for motor fluctuations in PD?
• What drug attributes are key influences, which have limited impact, and which are hidden opportunities?
• How do current therapies perform on key treatment drivers and goals for motor fluctuations in PD?
• What are the prevailing areas of unmet need and opportunity in motor fluctuations in PD?
• What trade-offs across different clinical attributes and price are acceptable to U.S. and European neurologists for a hypothetical new motor fluctuations in PD drug?
