Fernando L. Pagán, MD

Pagan offered advice on how clinicians can effectively discuss treatment and care plans with patients, especially as new treatments continue to emerge.

Pagan discussed unexpected findings from the InfusON study patient interviews that could influence how neurologists introduce CSAI therapy and how these insights, along with the latest data on MAO-B inhibitors, could shape future treatment combinations for Parkinson disease.

In this segment, Pagan discussed the benefits of using AI in research and clinical practice, while also highlighting key considerations and cautions for clinicians.

Panelists discuss how continuous subcutaneous delivery systems benefit patients compared to standard care, with focus on foscarbidopa/foslevodopa as the first FDA-approved 24-hour infusion treatment for Parkinson motor symptoms.

In this segment, Pagan shared strategies to enhance patient adherence and comfort with long-term CSAI use, and offered his perspective on the evolving role of CSAI in managing complex motor fluctuations in Parkinson disease.

Panelists discuss how pharmacokinetic challenges with oral levodopa formulations have led to the development of levodopa-based continuous subcutaneous infusion therapy as a less invasive and more personalized approach.

Pagan offered advice to early-career neurologists on how to stay current in the rapidly evolving field, emphasizing the importance of attending meetings and continuing education.

Pagan talked about discussed pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic data supporting the use of amantadine ER for dyskinesia in Parkinson disease and compared the safety profiles of rasagiline and safinamide to guide add-on therapy decisions.

Panelists discuss how limitations persist with current long-term treatment standards for Parkinson disease despite advancements in treatment options.

Panelists discuss how alternative formulations and administration routes like Levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel and deep brain stimulation have impacted advanced Parkinson disease management, including which patient populations benefit most and when these options are recommended.

In this segment, Pagan talked about how the field of neurology has changed in the last decade and shared where he sees it moving forward as well.

Pagan shared insights from InfusON patient interviews on the challenges and benefits of initiating CSAI therapy and discussed how expert roundtable recommendations can guide neurologists in managing skin nodules associated with treatment.

Pagan discusses the excitement surrounding new therapeutics in neurodegenerative diseases and how advances in protein clearance and inflammation reduction could lead to disease-modifying treatments for conditions like Parkinson disease.

Panelists discuss how medical professionals adjust treatment regimens and create individualized plans as Parkinson disease advances in their patients.

Panelists discuss how medical professionals determine the most appropriate treatment options for patients with advanced Parkinson disease and the challenges patients face as their disease progresses over time.

Fernando L. Pagan, MD, discussed how continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion impacts long-term motor fluctuations in Parkinson disease, highlighting InfusON extension study findings on uninterrupted "good ON" time and reduced "OFF" periods as evidence of its real-world efficacy.
