According to a recent Phase 3 clinical trial reported at the International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders (MDS) in June of 2017, an inhaled powder known as CVT-301 may reduce the impact of Parkinson's disease motor symptoms during periods of re-emergence, or “off” states. These moments of re-emergence occur when a patient's regular medication offers poor control of symptoms, which typically occurs when medications begin to wear off.
