The application is based on data from the Phase 3 TEMPO clinical trial, which assessed tavapadon across the Parkinson’s disease spectrum. The program comprised of two trials in early Parkinson’s disease (TEMPO-1 and TEMPO-2) along with a trial (TEMPO-3) that tested tavapadon as an additional therapy to levodopa in patients with motor irregularities.
