Enrollment: 87 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 45 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

Age

1. Male and female adults 45-75 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing of informed consent Type of Subject and Disease Characteristics

      • Rest Tremor
      • Postural instability

   2. Presence of motor fluctuations as measured by the PD Motor Diary

   3. Stable anti-parkinsonian medication regiment for >/= 4 weeks prior to screening

   4. Must demonstrate responsiveness to levodopa therapy

Exclusion criteria
