Starbucks' growth in the coming years is about more than just coffee. Source: Teavana.

It's hard to fathom, but at more than 20,500 stores and $16 billion in annual sales,�Starbucks� (NASDAQ: SBUX  ) still considers itself a growth company. Considering that it has grown net revenues about 12% per year over the past five years -- a rate that doubles sales every six years -- it's probably not a stretch to think that it just might be.

However, a company already this large has to work a lot harder -- and smarter -- to keep up the growth rate. With earnings for the fourth quarter and full year set to release on Thursday, Oct. 30, what can investors expect? Well, with the global economy still in a bit of a funk in many places, it's a little tough to know exactly what to expect. However, the short-term results are less important than progress on the long-term goals. Here are three things we will get an update on in the earnings release and conference call that probably matter the most for the long term.

ND0612L for moderate Parkinson�� disease

ND0612L is under development for the treatment of moderate Parkinson�� disease patients who can no longer effectively control their motor complications with oral levodopa. ND0612L is developed as a fixed dose liquid formulation of levodopa and carbidopa to be administered subcutaneously, over a day and night period.

The Company has conducted two Phase I studies and a Phase IIa clinical study with N0612L. The clinical studies was a single-dose, 24-hour continuous-administration, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study on eight subjects with moderate Parkinson�� disease. The study results demonstrated that subcutaneous deli! very of ND0612L was safe and tolerable, and achieved steady-state plasma levodopa concentrations of 700-900 nanogram/milliliter. Additionally, administration of ND0612L was shown to significantly reduce fluctuations in plasma levodopa concentrations.

The Company is conducting a Phase II randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of ND0612L on approximately 30 Parkinson�� disease patients suffering from motor complications. The study�� primary endpoints are safety and tolerability, as well as the pharmacokinetic profile of levodopa plasma concentrations.
