- W2905275344 abstract "Katzenschlager, R, Poewe, W, Rascol, O, et al. Apomorphine subcutaneous infusion in patients with Parkinson's disease with persistent motor fluctuations (TOLEDO): a multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial. Lancet Neurol 2018; 17: 749– 759. Apomorphine is a dopamine agonist approved for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) since 1993. Information about its benefits, either as intermittent subcutaneous injections or continuous infusion, has arisen from uncontrolled open-label studies that showed a marked reduction in OFF time,2 and decreased time with troublesome dyskinesias in the ON state.1, 2 However, until the article published by Katzenschlager and colleagues3 early this year, there was no clinical study that provided class 1 evidence for its efficacy and safety when used as continuous infusion. The TOLEDO3 study was the first double-blind, randomized clinical trial of apomorphine subcutaneous infusion conducted in PD patients. Patients with more than 3 years of disease duration and motor fluctuations not well controlled with oral or transdermal medical treatment, that consisted in at least ≥4 daily doses of levodopa, were included. The study design comprised 12 weeks with add-on apomorphine subcutaneous infusion or placebo, followed by an open-label 64 weeks of apomorphine treatment. One hundred seven patients were randomized, and most of them were hospitalized during the titration phase. Apomorphine dose was adjusted during the first 4 weeks, followed by an 8-week maintenance period (apomorphine dose: 3–8 mg/hr). Apomorphine subcutaneous infusion reduced OFF time (–2.47 vs. –0.58 hours), increased ON time without troublesome dyskinesia (2.77 vs. 0.80 hours), improved patient global impression of change, and allowed marked reductions in the l-dopa-equivalent dose. In addition, a significant increase in the number of patients with ≥2 hours’ reduction in OFF time was observed in the treatment group. Apomorphine infusion was well tolerated in most cases, and only mild-to-moderate adverse events were reported. Skin nodules (44%), nausea (22%), and somnolence (22%) were recorded as the most frequent adverse events, in line with previous reports.1, 2 Six patients from the apomorphine group had to withdraw from the study because of adverse events; 3 of them because of severe adverse events (symptomatic hypotension, myocardial infarction, and mild leukopenia). The TOLEDO study is somewhat limited by the unclear definition of “optimized medical treatment,” unlike previous studies on advanced medical therapies.4 However, it constitutes a strong evidence of treatment efficacy. l-odopa was used in clinical practice for a long time before the first randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ELLDOPA) was published in 2004.5 However, the lack of evidence did not interfere with its massive use around the world. In contrast, although apomorphine has been used for almost 30 years, the lack of class 1 evidence has prevented for its generalized use. Hopefully, the TOLEDO study will encourage one to expand the use of this therapy worldwide, and will help this treatment to be considered a valid and competitive option for advanced therapy, and not as a last resort for patients who are not candidates for DBS or l-dopa/carbidopa intestinal gel. 1.
