Where do KOLs see an opportunity for GSK's transdermal dopamine agonist ropinirole? How do KOLs assess the competing benefits of AbbVie's Duopa/Duodopa and levodopa/carbidopa fixed dose combinations? What challenges and benefits do experts see for AbbVie's ABBV-951 pipeline subcutaneous levodopa + carbidopa combination? Why do KOLs say disease modification by inhibiting alpha-synuclein remains a complex proposition? KOLs critically assess the prospects of launched and pipeline therapies.
