Intervention

Drug:
• Levodopa-Carbidopa Intestinal Gel
Levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) for upper-intestinal infusion is a suspension of levodopa (20 mg/mL) and carbidopa monohydrate (5 mg/mL) in an aqueous gel, administered continuously by a portable pump via a percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG-J) tube. The rate of LCIG infusion was expected to be within the range of 1 to 10 mL/hour (20 to 200 mg of levodopa/hour) in most instances over a period of 16 consecutive hours.

Procedure:
• Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy with Jejunal Extension (PEG-J)

Drug:
• Levodopa-carbidopa Immediate Release (LC-IR) Tablets
After LCIG initiation, participants could take prescribed oral levodopa-carbidopa immediate or continuous release (i.e., oral LC prescribed by the investigator) for nighttime use.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Non-Motor Symptom Scale (NMSS) Total Score	The NMSS measures the frequency and severity of a range of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's Disease. It consists of 30 questions grouped into 9 domains: cardiovascular, sleep/fatigue, mood/cognition, perceptual problems/hallucinations, attention/memory, gastro-intestinal tract, urinary, sexual function, and miscellaneous (pain, taste/smell, weight change, excessive sweating). Severity is rated on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe) and frequency is rated on a scale from 1 (rarely) to 4 (very frequent).; Item scores are calculated as the product of severity and frequency; the total score is obtained by summing the item scores. The NMSS total score ranges from 0 to 360 with a lower score indicating fewer symptoms; a negative change from baseline indicates improvement in symptoms.	Baseline and Week 12
Secondary	Number of Participants Who Used Healthcare Resources During the First 4 Weeks	Use of healthcare resources was assessed by the investigator using the Health Resource Utilization Questionnaire (HRUQ), a questionnaire developed by the Sponsor regarding the use of healthcare resources due to the participant's Parkinson's disease. The Week 4 version of the questionnaire addressed the following questions during the first four weeks after the PEG-J procedure: Has the subject had a visit to an emergency room?; Has the subject had a visit to an urgent care?; Has the subject had an outpatient visit to a neurologist?; Has the subject had an outpatient visit to a gastroenterologist, surgeon, or interventional radiologist?; Has the subject had an outpatient visit to a primary care physician?; Has the subject called the nursing support line?; Has the subject called a physician?	Weeks 1-4
Secondary	Number of Participants With Adverse Events	Adverse events (AEs) related to treatment are those the investigator determined as having a reasonable possibility being related to study drug based on evidence to suggest a causal relationship between the study drug and the adverse event.; A severe AE was defined as an adverse event that caused considerable interference with the participant's usual activities and might be incapacitating or life-threatening.; Serious AEs were defined as those that were life-threatening or resulted in death, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or important medical events requiring medical or surgical intervention to prevent a serious outcome.	Weeks 1-4 and Overall (from Week 1 through 30 days after the end of the LCIG Treatment Period; median duration of LCIG device exposure was 428 days)
Secondary	Number of Participants Who Used Healthcare Resources Through Week 60	Use of healthcare resources was assessed by the investigator using the Health Resource Utilization Questionnaire (HRUQ), a questionnaire developed by the Sponsor regarding the use of healthcare resources due to the participant's Parkinson's disease. The standard version of the questionnaire addressed the following questions over the last 3 months: Has the subject had a visit to an emergency room?; Has the subject had an outpatient visit to any of the following healthcare providers?; Has the subject been visited in his or her place of residence by a health care professional?; Has the subject received assistance from either of the following for their Parkinson's disease in their home?; Has the subject needed to contact either of the following for immediate assistance related to their Parkinson's disease?; Have family members or friends had to miss any paid work due to the subject's Parkinson's disease?; Has the subject fallen during the past month?

Each item is scored on the following 5-point scale: 0 = Never, 1 = Occasionally, 2 = Sometimes, 3 = Often, 4 = Always (or cannot do at all, if applicable).; Domain scores are calculated by summing the answers to the questions in the domain, dividing by the highest score possible and then multiplying by 100 to put the score on a scale from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicate a better perceived health status and higher scores are associated with the more severe symptoms of the disease such as tremors and stiffness.

Secondary	Percentage of Participants With a Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Response of Improved	The PGIC is a 7-point response scale. Participants were asked to rate their change in status using the following 7-point scale: 1 = Very much improved, 2 = Much improved, 3 = Minimally improved, 4 = No change, 5 = Minimally worse, 6 = Much worse, 7 = Very much worse.; The responses of "Very much improved," "Much improved" and "Minimally improved" on the PGIC were used to define responders.	Week 12 and Week 60
Secondary	Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire Scores	The Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (TSQ) is a single item instrument developed by the Sponsor on which the participant indicated their level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with their PD treatment. The responses are recorded on a Likert-type scale (Very Satisfied, Satisfied, Somewhat Satisfied, Somewhat Dissatisfied, Dissatisfied, Very Dissatisfied).	Week 12 and Week 60
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Health-related Productivity	The Health-Related Productivity Questionnaire (HRPQ) is a generic measure of the impact of disease on the ability of the participant to be productive at paid employment or at performance of household chores. Questions inquire about the amount of time they were scheduled/planned to work, the number of the scheduled/planned hours they were able to work and their ability to be productive for the hours of work they did perform.; Absenteeism: Number of hours not worked due to PD or it's treatments; Presenteeism: Number of hours of lost productivity while at work due to PD or it's treatments; Total hours lost: Number of hours lost due to absenteeism and presenteeism	Baseline, Week 12 and Week 60
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) Spatial Working Memory Between Errors Score at Week 12	CANTAB is a computer-based test of the participant's ability to retain spatial information and to manipulate remembered items in working memory. The Spatial Working Memory module requires that subjects find a blue token in a series of displayed boxes and use these to fill up an empty column, while not returning to boxes where a blue token has been previously found. The between errors score is the number of times the participant revisited a box in which a token was previously found; errors are calculated for 4-, 6-, and 8-box trials. Higher numbers indicate poorer performance.	Baseline and Week 12
Secondary	Change From Baseline in CANTAB Spatial Working Memory Strategy Score at Week 12	CANTAB is a computer-based test of the participant's ability to retain spatial information and to manipulate remembered items in working memory. The Spatial Working Memory module requires that subjects find a blue token in a series of displayed boxes and use these to fill up an empty column, while not returning to boxes where a blue token has been previously found. The Strategy score represents the number of times a participant begins a search with the same box for 6- and 8-box problems. Minimum score is 8 and maximum score is 56. Higher numbers indicate poorer performance.	Baseline and Week 12
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT) Verbal Fluency Scores at Week 60	Letter fluency was assessed using a paper and pen test, in which participants were asked to generate as many words as possible in 60 seconds, starting with the letters F, A, or S.; The COWAT All Letters score is the number of words recalled in all post-baseline assessments, regardless of letter used.; The COWAT Baseline Letter score is the number of words recalled in post-baseline assessments that used the same letter as at Baseline.
