Summary

This observational study is designed to collect data on the use of the drug Lecigon® in daily clinical practice. The study is organised and funded by a pharmaceutical company called Britannia Pharmaceuticals Ltd (Britannia). Lecigon® is prescribed by physicians in advanced Parkinson's disease when patients suffer from uncontrollable fluctuations in mobility, so-called motor fluctuations, which cannot be adjusted well with oral treatment, i.e. medication for swallowing. In this study, data on the effect and possible side effects from everyday treatment with Lecigon® will be collected and scientifically evaluated. The study is intended to supplement the results of previous clinical studies with clinical data in routine medical care, collected from approximately 300 patients.

Detailed description

Study design: Non-interventional study, primary data collection. No visits or measurements will be made mandatory by the observational plan. The assignment of patients to Lecigon® not decided in advance by the study's observational plan but falls within current practice. Prescription of Lecigon® occurred before and independently of the decision to include the patient in the study. The participating centres will offer participation in the ELEGANCE study to all patients who receive treatment with Lecigon® part of routine clinical practice. From patients, who switched to treatment with Lecigon® prior to signing of informed consent, baseline data will be collected retrospectively. The planned non-interventional study aims to collect real-world data on the effectiveness and safety of Lecigon® as a therapy for advanced Parkinson´s Disease in routine care in Germany and Austria. The study will be expanded to additional European countries as soon as marketing authorisation in these countries and commercial stock will be available. Primary Objectives: * Long-term effectiveness of Lecigon® * Long-term safety of Lecigon® Secondary Objectives: * Patient non-motor symptoms and quality of life * Healthcare resource utilisation by patients
