Parkinson’s Disease: Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Parkinson’s Disease Overview
American Association of Neurological Surgeons defines Parkinson’s Disease as a progressive disorder that is caused by degeneration of nerve cells in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra, which controls movement. These nerve cells die or become impaired, losing the ability to produce an important chemical called dopamine. Normally, dopamine operates in a delicate balance with other neurotransmitters to help coordinate the millions of nerve and muscle cells involved in the movement. Without enough dopamine, this balance is disrupted, resulting in tremor (trembling in the hands, arms, legs, and jaw), rigidity (stiffness of the limbs), slowness of movement, and impaired balance and coordination are hallmark symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. People with Parkinson’s also lose the nerve endings that produce norepinephrine, the main chemical messenger of the sympathetic nervous system, which controls many automatic functions of the body, such as heart rate and blood pressure. The loss of norepinephrine might help explain some of the nonmovement features of Parkinson’s, such as fatigue, irregular blood pressure, decreased movement of food through the digestive tract, and sudden drop in blood pressure when a person stands up from a sitting or lying-down position.
Parkinson’s symptoms usually begin gradually and get worse over time. As the disease progresses, people may have difficulty walking and talking. They may also have mental and behavioral changes, sleep problems, depression, memory difficulties, and fatigue. According to the National Institute on Aging, Parkinson’s Disease affects both men and women. However, the disease affects about 50% more men than women.
Symptoms of Parkinson’s and the rate of progression differ among individuals. Sometimes people dismiss early symptoms of Parkinson’s like the effects of normal aging. In most cases, there are no medical tests to definitively detect the disease, so it can be difficult to diagnose accurately. Early symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease are subtle and occur gradually. For example, affected people may feel mild tremors or have difficulty getting out of a chair. They may notice that they speak too softly or that their handwriting is slow and looks cramped or small. People with Parkinson’s often develop a parkinsonian gait that includes a tendency to lean forward, small quick steps as if hurrying forward, and reduced swinging of the arms. They also may have trouble initiating or continuing movement. Studies have shown that symptoms of Parkinson’s develop in patients with an 80% or greater loss of dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra. As per National Health Services, around one in 500 people are affected by Parkinson’s Disease. Most people with Parkinson’s start to develop symptoms when they’re over 50, although around one in 20 people with the condition first experience symptoms when they’re under 40.
The exact cause of Parkinson’s is unknown. It may have both genetic and environmental components. Low levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, a substance that regulates dopamine, have been linked with Parkinson’s. Abnormal proteins called Lewy bodies have also been found in the brains of people with Parkinson’s. While there is no known cause, research has identified groups of people who are more likely to develop the condition. These include:
- Sex: Men are one and a half times more likely to get Parkinson’s than women.
- Race: Whites are more likely to get Parkinson’s than African Americans or Asians.
- Age: Parkinson’s usually appears between the ages of 50 and 60. It only occurs before the age of 40 in 5–10% of cases.
- Family history: People who have close family members with Parkinson’s Disease are more likely to develop Parkinson’s Disease, too.
- Toxins: Exposure to certain toxins may increase the risk of Parkinson’s Disease.
- Head injury: People who experience head injuries may be more likely to develop Parkinson’s Disease.
Because Parkinson’s Disease develops over time, various stages help identify how symptoms have progressed and what should be expected next. Generally, there are five stages of Parkinson’s Disease:
- Stage I
- Stage II
- Stage III
- Stage IV
- Stage V
Although there is currently no cure for Parkinson’s Disease, and treatments are available to help reduce the main symptoms and maintain quality of life for as long as possible. A variety of medicines sometimes help symptoms dramatically. Surgery and deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help in severe cases. With DBS, electrodes are surgically implanted in the brain. They send electrical pulses to stimulate the parts of the brain that control movement.

Parkinson’s Disease Emerging Drugs
Mesdopetam/IRL790 (Integrative Research Laboratories AB) acts by antagonizing the dopamine D3 receptor and thereby counteracting the physiological effects of the signal substance dopamine. The dopamine D3 receptor is genetically linked to increased risk of involuntary movements, and patients with PD-levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) have higher amounts of D3 receptors in parts of the brain essential for the control of movements. Mesdopetam has successfully gone through clinical studies demonstrating a good safety and tolerability profile. In 2019, a 28-Day Phase IIa study was concluded evaluating the effect and tolerability of mesdopetam in PD patients exhibiting LIDs. The study results show clinically meaningful and quantitatively impressive effects on dyskinesias as assessed by two of the most used measurements in the field: standardized patient-reported diaries (Hauser diaries) and the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Patients reported marked improvements without added side effects, demonstrating mesdopetam’s ability to offer a significant qualitative shift in patients’ everyday life.
A larger and longer Phase IIb/III study to further evaluate the effects of mesdopetam in PD-LIDs started in November 2020. The clinical Phase IIb/III study with mesdopetam is a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effect of mesdopetam in patients with PD affected by troublesome dyskinesias. Top-line results are expected during the first half of 2022
IPX203 (Amneal Pharmaceuticals) is an investigational extended-release oral capsule formulation of carbidopa and levodopa, being studied as a potential treatment for the symptoms of advanced Parkinson’s Disease. It is designed to have an onset of effect similar to IR CD-LD while providing a longer effect than other oral levodopa products available. The drug is presently being evaluated in two Phase III studies in PD patients.

According to DelveInsight, Parkinson’s Disease market in the United States is expected to change in the study period 2018–2030.
There are currently no disease-modifying treatments for PD, and management predominantly consists of dopaminergic drugs. The most commonly used of these are preparations of levodopa, the precursor of dopamine, which is administered in combination with a dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor, limiting some of the side effects, such as nausea. Dopamine agonists, such as ropinirole or rotigotine, are also used. Monoamine oxidase B inhibitors, such as rasagiline and selegiline, and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors such as entacapone, can be used to reduce the metabolism of endogenous dopamine. These treatments can restore dopaminergic activity in the striatum, heralding improvements in the motor features of PD. However, they do not treat many nonmotor features, which are particularly disabling for many patients. Indeed, in some cases, treatments may exacerbate some of the nonmotor symptoms, such as postural hypotension and neuropsychiatric problems.
Key Findings
This section includes a glimpse of the Parkinson’s Disease market in the US. The market size of Parkinson’s Disease in the United States markets was USD 1390.1 million in 2020.
The United States: Market Outlook
This section provides the total Parkinson’s Disease market size, market size of Parkinson’s Disease by systemic therapies (class-wise), and market size of Parkinson’s Disease by-product in the United States.
The approved medication therapies are categorized into seven groups that include levodopa, carbidopa-levodopa infusion (Duodopa), dopamine agonists (Mirapex, Requip, Neupro), MAO B inhibitors (Zelapar, Azilect, Xadago), catechol o-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors (Tasmar, Comtan), anticholinergics (Cogentin, Artane), adenosine A2a antagonists (Istradefylline) and amantadine (Gocovri, OSMOLEX ER). The treatment is given based on the stages of the disease, symptoms shown, and those who are already receiving some medication. Based on the mentioned criteria the treatment can be classified into early-stage, late-stage, and nonmotor symptoms.
Neurocrine’s oral compound Ongentys (opicapone)—approved by the FDA in April 2020—and Sunovion’s thin-film formulation of apomorphine (approved in May 2020) help control symptoms during “off” times, when the gold standard medication levodopa (Sinemet) fails, and Parkinson’s symptoms relapses each day. Apomorphine can quickly relieve symptoms when levodopa wears off but must be delivered via injection. However, Sunovion has developed a new delivery method and option for those who prefer it over an injection approach — Kynmobi, a thin-film formulation that can be placed under the tongue.
The crop of recently approved treatments includes other medications (e.g., inhaled levodopa [Inbrija] and istradefylline [Nourianz]) to ease “off” time along with treatments for psychosis, excessive salivation/drooling, and sudden drops in blood pressure. These therapies for nonmovement aspects of Parkinson’s are filling longstanding gaps in care and helping patients live better with Parkinson’s.
