The Parkinson’s disease (PD) market is in the midst of transformation: the first new levodopa formulation (Rytary) in over a decade launched in 2015 with more on the horizon (e.g., ND-0612, AP-CD/LD, IPX-203), two new rescue therapies for “off” periods will be available in 2019 (i.e., Inbrija, APL-130277), and several new adjunctive agents for motor and nonmotor symptoms have launched (i.e., Xadago, Ongentys, Gocovri, Nuplazid) or are in late-phase development (e.g., P2B-001, HP-3000). These and other product launches will add another layer of complexity to an already complicated treatment algorithm with the potential to meaningfully increase sales in the PD market. However, given the cost-sensitivity of PD patients and widespread availability of generic and—for many patients—therapeutically adequate agents, new PD brands will enter a market of intensifying competition and access challenges.
