About this study

Official title: An Open-label Extension of Study M15-741 to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of 24-hour Daily Exposure of Continuous Subcutaneous Infusion of ABBV-951 in Subjects With Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition, which affects the brain. PD gets worse over time, but how quickly it progresses varies a lot from person to person. Some symptoms of PD are tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. The purpose of this study is to continue testing whether ABBV-951 is safe, effective, and tolerable in participants with Parkinson's disease after completion of the parent study M15-741.

ABBV-951 is an investigational (unapproved) drug containing levodopa phosphate/carbidopa phosphate (LDP/CDP) given as infusion under the skin for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. Participants who have successfully completed M15-741 study will immediately enter this study's treatment period to continue receiving ABBV-951. Adult participants with advanced PD will be enrolled. Approximately 130 adult participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 65 sites worldwide.

Read more

Participants will receive continuous subcutaneous infusion (CSCI) of ABBV-951 for 24 hours daily during the Primary Treatment Period and during the optional Extended Treatment Period.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular clinic visits and have remote assessments completed via phone calls during the course of the study. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects, and completing questionnaires.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AE)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of the study drug or device as either reasonable possibility or no reasonable possibility. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) - polyneuropathy, weight loss, hallucinations/psychosis, and somnolence will be monitored throughout the study.

    Measured: Up To Week 96

  2. Percentage Of Participants With Numeric Grade Equal To Or Higher Than 5 On The Infusion Site Evaluation Scale

    The Infusion Site Evaluation Scale will be used to assess infusion sites. Infusion Site Evaluation Scale is an eight-point numeric scale used to assess irritation at the infusion site area (0 being "no evidence of irritation" and 7 being "strong reaction spreading beyond the test site").

    Measured: Up To Week 96

  3. Percentage Of Participants With Letter Grade Equal To Or Higher Than D On The Infusion Site Evaluation Scale

    The Infusion Site Evaluation Scale will be used to assess infusion sites. Infusion Site Evaluation Scale is an A to G letter grade scale, used to assess irritation at the infusion site area (A being "no finding" to G being "Small petechial erosions and/or scabs").

    Measured: Up To Week 96

  4. Change in Clinical Laboratory Test Data

    Number of participants with clinically significant change from baseline in laboratory parameters (hematology, biochemistry, coagulation, and urinalysis) will be reported throughout the study.

    Measured: Up To Week 96

  5. Change in Vital Signs Measurements

    Number of participants with clinically significant change from baseline in vital signs will be reported throughout the study.

    Measured: Up To Week 96

  6. Change From Baseline in Electrocardiograms (ECGs)

    Change from baseline in 12-lead ECGs on heart rate, RR interval, PR interval, QRS duration, and QT interval will be monitored throughout the study.

    Measured: Up To Week 96

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Average Normalized Daily "Off" Time

    Average normalized daily "Off" Time (Hours) is assessed based on Parkinson's Disease (PD) Diary.

    Measured: Up To Week 96

  2. Average Normalized Daily "On" Time

    Average normalized daily "On" time is assessed based on Parkinson's Disease (PD) Diary.

    Measured: Up To Week 96

  3. Parkinson's Disease (PD) Symptoms Measurement

    PD symptoms will be assessed by the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Parts I-IV.

    The MDS-UPDRS is an investigator-used rating tool to follow the longitudinal course of Parkinson's Disease (PD) with scores ranging from 0 to 236 with 236 representing the worst disability, and 0 representing no disability.

    Measured: Up To Week 96

  4. Change From Baseline in Quality Of Life Measurement as Assessed by PD Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39)

    Quality of life is assessed by the PD Questionnaire-39 items (PDQ-39). PDQ-39 is a disease-specific instrument designed to measure aspects of health that are relevant to participants with PD, and which may not be included in general health status questionnaires.

    Each item is scored on a 5-point scale.

    Measured: Up To Week 96

  5. Change From Baseline in Health-related Quality Of Life Measurement as Assessed by EuroQol 5-dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L)

    Health-related quality of life is assessed by the EuroQol 5-dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L).

    EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument that consists of 2 parts: the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue-scale (EQVAS).

    Measured: Up To Week 96

  6. Cognitive Impairment Measurement

    Cognitive impairment is assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). MMSE is used to assess orientation, attention, immediate and short term recall, language, and ability to follow simple verbal and written commands. The test consists of five sections (orientation, registration, attention-calculation, recall, and language) and results in a total possible score of 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating better function.

    Measured: Up To Week 96

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ABBV-951 in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD), run by AbbVie at 51 sites in 13 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 51 sites in United States, Spain, Australia, Belgium, Denmark and 8 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) (time frame: Up To Week 96). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 May 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
