Core to Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment is the co-prescription of various formulations of the gold-standard SOC levodopa with a range of adjunctive therapies from other drug classes (e.g., dopamine agonists, MAO-B inhibitors) to address breakthrough motor symptoms. Pipeline therapies seek to improve therapeutic experience and motor symptom benefit through novel mechanisms, delivery routes, and simplified dosing regimens. The use of newer brands (e.g., Rytary [Amneal], Gocovri [Supernus], Inbrija [Acorda]) has steadily grown, but these agents will face competition from emerging reformulations (e.g., ABBV-951 [AbbVie]) and new molecular entities (NMEs) (IPX-203 [Amneal], dipraglurant [Addex], tavapadon [Cerevel]) in established classes; these reformulations and NMEs have the potential to radically change the clinical management and commercial outlooks in PD. Understanding physicians’ receptivity and anticipated use for new entrants is crucial for developers advancing new drugs in the increasingly crowded, largely generic, and clinically complex market.
