Tosu, Japan-based Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical (TYO: 4530) has released positive Phase III data from its trial of a transdermal patch for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, codenamed HP-3000.

The transdermal therapy formulation of ropinirole hydrochloride was compared with a placebo and with an unnamed oral therapy in patients with Parkinson’s disease who also use L-dopa (levodopa).

The trial met its primary endpoint, showing an improvement in efficacy compared with the placebo group, and non-inferiority was confirmed when compared with the rival therapy.
