Participants with a positive urine drug screen resulting from use of marijuana (any tetrahydrocannabinol-containing product), prescription, or over-the-counter medications or products that, in the investigator's documented opinion, do not signal a clinical condition that would impact the safety of the participant or interpretation of the trial results may continue evaluation for the trial following consultation and approval by the medical monitor
• Participants with a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score <26.
• Participants with clinically significant orthostatic hypotension (eg, syncope).
• Participants with a 12-lead ECG demonstrating a QTcF interval >450 msec.
• Participants with moderate or severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault formula <30 mL/min or on dialysis).

• Participants with any of the following abnormalities in clinical laboratory tests at the Screening Visit, as assessed by the central laboratory and confirmed by a single repeat measurement, if deemed necessary:

  • Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) >=3 × Upper Limit Normal (ULN).
  • Total bilirubin >=1.5 × ULN. Participants with a history of Gilbert's syndrome may be eligible provided they have a value <ULN for direct bilirubin
• Participants with other abnormal laboratory test results, vital sign results, or ECG findings unless, in the judgment of the investigator, the findings are not medically significant and would not impact the safety of the participants or the interpretation of the trial results.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change From Baseline in the Total "On" Time Without Troublesome Dyskinesia Based on the 2-day Average of the Self-completed Home Diary for Motor Function Status (Hauser Diary)	The Hauser diary (Hauser et al, 2000) assesses participant-defined clinical status over a period of time and provides a tool for assessment of the change in "off" time and "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia (which is a more accurate reflection of clinical response than "off" time alone). The Hauser diary asks participants to rate their mobility for each 30-minute period and to record their status for the majority of the period in 1 of 5 categories as: "on" time without dyskinesia, "on" time with nontroublesome dyskinesia, "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia, "off" time, or asleep. The total "on" time without troublesome dyskinesia will be assessed and reported at endpoint.	27 Weeks

The total "on" time without troublesome dyskinesia will be assessed and reported at different time points.	Baseline, Weeks 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 18, 22, 26, and 27
Change From Baseline in Total Daily "Off" Time Without Troublesome Dyskinesia Based on the 2-Day Average of the Self-Completed Home Diary for Motor Function Status (Hauser Diary)	The Hauser diary (Hauser et al, 2000) assesses participant-defined clinical status over a period of time and provides a tool for assessment of the change in "off" time and "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia (which is a more accurate reflection of clinical response than "off" time alone).

The total daily "Off" time will be assessed and reported at different time points.	Baseline, Weeks 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 18, 22, 26, and 27
Change From Baseline in the Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Parts I, II and III Individual Score	The MDS-UPDRS is a multidimensional scale that assesses the motor and non-motor impacts of PD across 4 parts. Part I, non-motor aspects of experiences of daily living, comprises 13 items, 6 of which are rated by the physician (Part IA) and 7 of which are rated by the participant (Part IB). Part II, motor aspects of experiences of daily living, comprises 13 items that are rated by the participant. Part III, motor examination, comprises 18 items that are assessed by the investigator (resulting in 33 scores by location and lateralization). Part IV, motor complications, comprises 6 item (3 items for dyskinesia and 3 items for fluctuation) and requires the physician to use historical and objective information to assess dyskinesia and motor fluctuations. Each item of all the parts will be rated on a scale from 0 to 4 on which 0 = normal, 1=slight, 2=mild, 3=moderate, and 4=severe. Change from baseline in MDS-UPDRS parts I, II and III Individual score will be assessed.	27 Weeks
Change From Baseline in Total Daily "Off" Time Based on the 2-Day Average of the Self-Completed Home Diary for Motor Function Status (Hauser Diary)	The Hauser diary (Hauser et al, 2000) assesses participant-defined clinical status over a period of time and provides a tool for assessment of the change in "off" time and "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia (which is a more accurate reflection of clinical response than "off" time alone). The Hauser diary asks participants to rate their mobility for each 30-minute period and to record their status for the majority of the period in 1 of 5 categories as: "on" time without dyskinesia, "on" time with nontroublesome dyskinesia, "on" time with troublesome dyskinesia, "off" time, or asleep. The total daily "Off" time will be assessed and reported at endpoint.	27 Weeks
