EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADMS), a company dedicated to developing and delivering medicines that make a meaningful difference to people affected by neurological diseases, today announced it has been issued a new patent (no. 10,646,456) by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that covers GOCOVRI® (amantadine) extended release capsules. The new patent covers a method of reducing ‘OFF’ time and increasing ‘good ON’ time (ON time without troublesome dyskinesia) in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) being treated with levodopa. GOCOVRI is indicated for the treatment of dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson’s disease receiving levodopa-based therapy, with or without concomitant dopaminergic medications. Data from two pivotal, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical studies showed that GOCOVRI reduced dyskinesia, as well as a secondary benefit in reduction of OFF time, leading to an increase in good ON time.
