1 Adjunctive Drug Therapy for Advanced Parkinson’s Disease Combination Strategies and Sequencing Pharmacotherapy Lawrence Elmer, MD, PhD Program Chairman Associate Professor Department of Neurology University of Toledo College of Medicine Lawrence Elmer, MD, PhD Program Chairman Associate Professor Department of Neurology University of Toledo College of Medicine The Science and Medicine of Parkinson’s Disease

2 Stages of Parkinson’s Disease ► Mild symptoms, no disability ► Non-pharmacological approaches ► Moderate symptoms with some disability ► Multiple treatments available including l-dopa ► Progression of symptoms ► Levodopa required +/- other meds Early ModerateAdvanced ► Disease progresses ► Non-motor complications may outweigh motor disturbances Adjunctive Drug Therapy for Advanced PD Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology 2006

3 Early or Moderate Stage Management of PD ► Level A – MAO-B inhibitors – selegiline, rasagiline ► Level A – Dopamine agonists – pramipexole, ropinirole, rotigotine – caution in elderly, cognitive impairment, young males (?) ► Level A - Carbidopa/levodopa – immediate release ► Level B - Carbidopa/levodopa – controlled release Recommended Years 1-5 (possibly more?) Questionable ► Co-enzyme Q10 ► Amantadine Therapeutic Agents Adjunctive Drug Therapy for Advanced PD Miyasaki, JM, et al., Neurology 2002;58:11–17 O. Suchowersky, et al., Neurology 2006; 66: 976-982

35 Conclusions: Advanced Treatment ► Combination therapy reasonable to consider before levodopa introduced ► Adjunctive therapy with multiple agents from different classes has been demonstrated to be effective and well- tolerated ► Entacapone, zydis selegiline, and rasagiline have lower incidence of cognitive and behavioral side effects compared to dopamine agonists as adjunctive agents. Long-acting dopamine agonists are promising options for advanced management of Parkinson’s disease. ► Combination therapy reasonable to consider before levodopa introduced ► Adjunctive therapy with multiple agents from different classes has been demonstrated to be effective and well- tolerated ► Entacapone, zydis selegiline, and rasagiline have lower incidence of cognitive and behavioral side effects compared to dopamine agonists as adjunctive agents.
