Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which significantly impacts patients’ quality of life and is associated with high treatment and direct healthcare costs. In England, levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) is indicated for the treatment of levodopa-responsive advanced Parkinson’s disease with troublesome motor fluctuations when available combinations of medicinal products are unsatisfactory.
The base-case incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was estimated to be within the acceptable thresholds for cost effectiveness considered for England.
