NOURIANZ® is
an add-on treatment
for “off” episodes

NOURIANZ works together with your current levodopa/carbidopa regimen to reduce “off” episodes in Parkinson’s disease (PD).

NOURIANZ is the first and only treatment for
“off” episodes in Parkinson’s disease (PD) that lifts
the brake of adenosine

Image of a brake pedal symbolizes adenosine, which limits movement in the body

The exact way NOURIANZ (istradefylline) works to treat
“off”
episodes in PD is unknown, but unlike any other
medication for PD,
NOURIANZ is believed to work
by targeting adenosine A2A receptors.

This is like lifting the brake in a car, helping to
increase movement
if you are
experiencing “off” time.

NOURIANZ was shown to reduce “off” time in clinical trials

In clinical trials:

  • All patients were on levodopa. Most were also
    taking other
    PD medications. All of them were
    still experiencing “off” time
  • All patients in the trials were given NOURIANZ
    or placebo
    (sugar pill)
    in addition to their
    other PD medications

At 12 weeks, NOURIANZ reduced “off” time
significantly more than placebo
, based on
diaries of people living with PD in
clinical studies.*†

*Average “off” time at the start of the study was about 6 hours per day.
In Study 3 and Study 4.

NOURIANZ reduced “off” time by
about 1 hour per day*†

  • NOURIANZ 20 mg reduced “off” time
    by 0.99-1.31 hours per day
  • NOURIANZ 40 mg reduced “off” time
    by 0.96-1.58 hours per day
  • Placebo reduced “off” time
    by 0.23-0.66 hours per day

*Average “off” time at the start of the study was about 6 hours per day.
In Study 3 and Study 4.





Additional data suggests that NOURIANZ may increase
good “on” time without uncontrolled, sudden movements

Input from the diaries of people in clinical studies
living with
Parkinson’s disease suggests that
NOURIANZ may increase good “on”
time, which is
“on” time without uncontrolled, sudden
movements at
12 weeks.
A change in good “on”
time was a secondary efficacy endpoint.

“On” time is when medication is working
to treat symptoms such as slowness, stiffness,
or issues with mobility.

In Studies 1-4.

PEOPLE TAKING NOURIANZ EXPERIENCED
AN INCREASE IN
GOOD “ON” TIME

  • NOURIANZ 20 mg increased “on” time
    by 1.09-1.35 hours per day
  • NOURIANZ 40 mg increased “on” time
    by
    0.21-1.29 hours per day
  • Placebo increased “on” time
    by
    0.49-0.80 hours per day

In Studies 1-4.

The safety profile
of NOURIANZ
has
been demonstrated
in multiple

clinical studies

People taking NOURIANZ
may experience:

  • Uncontrolled movements (dyskinesia)
  • Dizziness
  • Constipation
  • Nausea
  • Hallucinations
  • Problems sleeping (insomnia)

NOURIANZ and other medicines may affect
each other causing side effects.
NOURIANZ
may affect the way other medicines work,
and other medicines
may affect how
NOURIANZ works.

Talk to your doctor if you experience
any of these side effects.

In clinical studies, the number of patients who stopped taking NOURIANZ due
to side effects was similar to that of patients taking placebo (sugar pill)

  • The incidence of patients discontinuing for any
    adverse reaction was 5% for NOURIANZ 20 mg,
    6% for NOURIANZ 40 mg, and 5% for placebo
  • 1% of patients discontinued NOURIANZ due to
    dyskinesia compared to 0% of patients on
    placebo
  • In patients treated with NOURIANZ 40 mg, 1%
    discontinued because of hallucinations
    compared to 0% for placebo and 0% for patients
    treated with NOURIANZ 20 mg

NOURIANZ, in combination with levodopa, may cause dyskinesia or exacerbate pre-existing dyskinesia. The incidence of dyskinesia was 15% for NOURIANZ 20 mg, 17% for NOURIANZ 40 mg, and 8% for placebo, in combination with levodopa.
