1 BORDEAUX MDS WINTER SCHOOL FOR YOUNG NEUROLOGISTS INFUSION THERAPIES IN PARKINSON S DISEASE Apomorphine, T. Henriksen Tove Henriksen, MD MDS Clinic University Hospital of Bispebjerg, Copenhagen

2 MOTOR FLUCTUATIONS Levodopacarbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) Erratic gastric emptying Bloating Late on No on Hyperkinesias T Henriksen, PD Unit Apomorphine DBS

3 Duodenal carbidopa/ levodopa gel infusion Device aided treatments Advanced treatment Complex treatment CDS CDD Deep brain stimulation Subcutaneous apomorphine infusion

4 INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FROM HEAD-TO- HEAD COMPARISONS Small study of four patients showed Improved off rating for levodopa versus apomorphine Improved quality of life for levodopa versus apomorphine according to PDQ-39 BUT the authors of a systematic review concluded: Clinical judgement remains the only tool to determine whether DBS, apomorphine infusion or levodopa infusion would be of benefit to a particular patient with advanced PD and complex motor symptoms Where possible, patient preference should form a significant part of the decision-making process Nyholm D, et al. Acta Neurol Scand 2009;119:345-8.Clarke CE, et al. Parkinsonism Relat Disord. 2009;15:

27 Psychosocial impact of Parkinson s disease: Employment Method: survival analysis of employment Approx. 450 patients with onset of disease <65 y Loss of employment (including retirement) on average 4.9 years after Parkinson s disease onset: Parkinson s disease onset <45 y: 6.7 y Parkinson s disease onset >56 y: 1.7 y In young patients: Loss of professional career opportunities Greater economic impact of unemployment Schrag A, Banks P. Time of loss of employment in Parkinson's disease. Mov Disord 2006; 21: Copyright (2006 Movement Disorder Society); Reproduced with permission of John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

28 WHY NOT EARLIER? LCIG Price Polyneuropathy Weight Apomorphine Nodules Price DBS Early Stim Disease duration 7.5 y, fluctuations 1.5 y, same improvement of QoL as 14 y disease duration. Are the patients ready? No, last resort (interview study, Sperens 2017) Change of IPG Risk of infection Apomorphine, T. Henriksen

29 CONCLUSION Main indication for advanced therapy: Motor fluctuations +/- dyskinesias in spite of optimized peroral/transdermal PD therapy. Non-motor symptoms can be part of the indication. Due to contraindications for DBS, large groups of patients are only suitable for pump therapy A special out patient set up with a PD nurse specialist Factors influencing the choice of advanced therapy: methodology and practical aspects, as well as, expected effects on motor- and non-motor symptoms Start thinking about advanced therapy already in the early complications phase of advanced Parkinson s disease
