4. At least one OFF episode per day and a total daily OFF time of > 2 hours duration.
5. Experience predictable OFF episodes in the morning on awakening prior to receiving morning dose of levodopa.
6. Stage I to III on the Hoehn and Yahr scale in the "ON" state.

4. Female who is pregnant or lactating.
5. Contraindications to APOKYN or hypersensitive to apomorphine hydrochloride or any of the ingredients of APOKYN (notably sodium metabisulfite), or Tigan®.
6. Participation in any other clinical trial within 14 days of the screening visit.
7. Receipt of any investigational (i.e., unapproved) medication within 30 days of the screening visit.

15. Dementia that precludes providing informed consent.
16. Potential for lack of compliance and follow-up in the judgment of the investigator.
17. Any other condition, current therapy, or prior therapy (within 30 days of the screening visit), which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for the study.
18. Previous neurosurgery for PD.
