Efficacy and Safety of Amantadine Hydrochloride (HCl) ER Tablets to Treat Parkinson's Disease Patients With LID.

This study was terminated early due to slow enrollment with 87 of 162 planned subjects
enrolled. Amantadine has been used for many years as a treatment for Parkinson's disease. It
has been reported in the literature to effectively treat the motor complications of levodopa,
especially dyskinesia, but it must be given 2 to 4 times a day. The purpose of this
multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, 16 week study is to compare the
efficacy and safety of two different dose levels of Amantadine Extended Release Tablets to
placebo for the treatment of levodopa induced dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's
disease. The dose will be given once a day in the morning so that amantadine concentrations
are maintained throughout the day for treating the levodopa induced dyskinesia, but will be
lower during the night, potentially reducing the negative impact of amantadine on sleep.

Inclusion Criteria:

Brain Bank criteria.

- Male or female 30 to 85 years old.

- Levodopa induced, predictable peak-effect dyskinesia considered problematic and/or
disabling.

- Screening serum creatinine level within normal range

- On stable doses of all oral anti-Parkinson's medication, including any levodopa
preparation, for 30 days and be willing to remain on the same doses throughout the
trial.

- The subject/caregiver must demonstrate the ability to complete an accurate home diary
based on training and evaluation during the screening period.

Exclusion Criteria:

neoplastic and post-traumatic parkinsonism or any atypical parkinsonian syndrome
(e.g., Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Multi-System Atrophy, etc.);

- Use of amantadine within 14 days before study start, or previously had an adverse
event to amantadine

- Currently taking neuroleptics and atypical antipsychotic agents, acetylcholinesterase
inhibitors, apomorphine, rimantadine, memantine and dextromethorphan and quinidine if
used in combination for treating dyskinesia.

to Amantadine HCl Extended Release Tablets or interfere with safety and efficacy
evaluations.

the positive test followed a recent (<28 days) vaccination for hepatitis B; hepatitis
C antibody.

- A positive urine drug test.

- Pregnant or breastfeeding at screening or has a positive pregnancy test

- If a sexually active female, is not surgically sterile or at least 2 years

consent.

- Has a known hypersensitivity to the study treatment(s), based on known allergies to
drugs of the same class including rimantadine HCl and memantine HCl.

- Has participated in other studies involving investigational drugs or surgeries within
the last 30 days or investigational biologics within the last 6 months prior to
screening.

(MoCA) at the screening visit.
