Making History: OrthoNeuro Brings Breakthrough Parkinson's Treatment to the U.S.
At OrthoNeuro, we’re dedicated to providing innovative care that transforms lives.
Today, we’re proud to share a historic milestone: the first patient in the United States has been placed on Vyalev(foscarbidopa and foslevodopa), a revolutionary treatment for advanced Parkinson’s disease. This groundbreaking therapy was administered by Ashley Gregg Taylor, CNP, at our New Albany location, marking a new chapter in Parkinson’s care.
What is Vyalev?
Vyalev, approved by the FDA in October 2024, is the first and only subcutaneous 24-hour continuous infusion of levodopa-based therapy. Developed by AbbVie, Vyalev provides consistent medication delivery to address the motor fluctuations that many patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease face.
This innovative treatment reduces “off” times—periods of slowness, stiffness, and tremors—helping patients regain control of their lives.
OrthoNeuro’s Role in Advancing Parkinson’s Care
Ashley Gregg Taylor, CNP, and Dr. Martin Taylor were key investigators in the clinical trials that led to Vyalev’s FDA approval. With more than a decade of experience in Neurology, Ashley focuses on Parkinson’s disease, migraines, and botulinum toxin therapy. Her expertise and compassionate approach make OrthoNeuro the ideal place for patients seeking advanced treatments.
“Vyalev represents a new frontier in Parkinson’s care,” says Ashley. “I’m proud to see our research come to life and make a meaningful impact on patients.”
Are You a Candidate for Vyalev?
Vyalev may be right for you if:
- You have an ADVANCED Parkinson’s disease diagnosis.
- You initially responded well to carbidopa/levodopa therapy.
- You now experience more than 2.5 hours of “off” time daily (e.g., slowness, stiffness, tremors, or difficulty moving).
If these apply to you, Vyalev could help you achieve a better quality of life with fewer disruptions from motor fluctuations.
