Brief Summary
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition, which affects the brain. PD gets worse over time, but how quickly it progresses varies a lot from person to person. Some symptoms of PD are tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. This study will assess how effective foscarbidopa/ foslevodopa is in treating German adult participants at initial stages of advanced Parkinson's disease under routine clinical practice. Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa is an approved drug for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. Approximately 125 adult participants who are prescribed Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa by their doctors will be enrolled across approximately 20 sites in Germany. Participants will receive Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa subcutaneous infusion as prescribed by their physician. Participants will be followed for up to 12 months. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic according to their routine clinical practice.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change From Baseline in OFF Time (hours)
The mean change from baseline to each scheduled visit in the number of hours spent in OFF time will be estimated using a mixed-effect model repeated-measures (MMRM).
Up To 12 months
Study Arms (1)
Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa
Participants will receive Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa as prescribed by their physician according to local label.
