Flexible-Dose, Adjunctive Therapy Trial in Adults With Parkinson's Disease With Motor Fluctuations (TEMPO-3) (TEMPO-3)

A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Flexible-Dose, 27-Week Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Tavapadon as Adjunctive Therapy for Parkinson's Disease in Levodopa-Treated Adults With Motor Fluctuations (TEMPO-3 Trial)

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of tavapadon on the change from baseline in total daily hours of "on" time without troublesome dyskinesia in L-Dopa-treated participants with Parkinson's Disease (PD) who are experiencing motor fluctuations.

• Participants with a positive urine drug screen for illicit drugs are excluded and may not be retested or rescreened. 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 aQTcF 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 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.	Week 26

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
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 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.	Week 26
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 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 different time points.	Week 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 18, 22, and 26
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 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 different time points.	Week 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 18, 22, and 26
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 rating tool was used to follow longitudinal course of Parkinson's Disease. It was made up of 4 parts: Part 1: Non-motor aspects of experiences of daily living (13 items. Score range: 0-52); Part 2: Motor aspects of experiences of daily living (13 items. Score range: 0-52); Part 3: Motor examination (18 items. Score range: 0-132); Part 4: Motor complications (6 items. Score range: 0-24. Part 4 was not collected in this trial). Each item has 0-4 rating on scale from 0 (normal) to 4 (severe). Higher values represent a worse outcome.	Week 26
