Definition Characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons which alters activity in the brain region impacting movement and motor function Treatment Treated with drugs designed to replace or mimic dopamine in the brain Following several years of chronic treatment, these drugs lose their benefit and trigger serious side effects in up to 80% of patients Research Pulsatile dopaminergic stimulation from current oral treatment may cause motor side effects Continuous dopaminergic stimulation (CDS) by subcutaneous infusion of dopamine agonists has been shown to palliate these motor complications and also delay or prevent the onset of dyskinesias Product Opportunity Titan’s ProNeura drug delivery technology has the potential to deliver continuous non - fluctuating levels of dopamine agonists and provide CDS for six months or longer from a single treatment Parkinson’s Disease Overview .
