Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Non-idiopathic parkinsonism (atypical parkinsonism, symptomatic parkinsonism, Parkinson-plus syndrome); treated with levodopa/carbidopa or levodopa/benserazide in a 10:1 ratio, or with levodopa/carbidopa in a controlled-release formulation; treated with entacapone, tolcapone, neuroleptics, antidepressants (except serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitors or imipraminics [desipramine, imipramine, clomipramine and amitriptyline]), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (except selegiline up to 10 mg/day in oral formulation or 1.25 mg/day in buccal absorption formulation or rasagiline up to 1 mg/day) or antiemetics (except domperidone) within 4 weeks prior to randomisation; treated with apomorphine within 7 days prior to randomisation; treated with any investigational product within 2 months prior to randomisation (or within 5 half-lives, whichever is longer); a psychiatric or any medical condition that might place him/her at increased risk or interfere with assessments; known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of the investigational products; a history of abuse of alcohol, drugs or medications within the last 2 years; a clinically relevant ECG abnormality; a history or current evidence of heart disease, including but not limited to myocardial infarction, angina, congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmia; unstable concomitant disease being treated with changing doses of medication; a history or current evidence of any relevant disease in the context of this study, i.e., with respect to the safety of the patient (e.g., hepatic or renal impairment) or related to the study conditions; a test positive for the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) 1 or 2 antibodies, or hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), or hepatitis C antibody (HCVAb); donated blood or received blood or blood products within the 6 months prior to randomisation; pregnant, breast-feeding or of childbearing potential; other condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise the patient’s ability to comply with the study protocol.

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the effect of three single oral doses of BIA 9-1067 (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg) on the levodopa pharmacokinetics when administered in combination with immediate release levodopa/carbidopa 100 mg/25 mg or levodopa/benserazide 100 mg/25 mg in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients. ;Secondary Objective: To investigate: - tolerability and safety of three single oral doses of BIA 9-1067 (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg) when co-administered with immediate release levodopa/carbidopa 100 mg/25 mg or levodopa/benserazide 100 mg/25 mg in PD patients. - effect of three single oral doses of BIA 9-1067 (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg) on the motor response to immediate release levodopa/carbidopa 100 mg/25 mg or levodopa/benserazide 100 mg/25 mg in PD patients with end-of-dose deterioration. - effect of three single oral doses of BIA 9-1067 (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg) on the erythrocyte soluble catechol-O-methyltransferase (S-COMT) activity when co-administered with immediate release levodopa/carbidopa 100 mg/25 mg or levodopa/benserazide 100 mg/25 mg in PD patients. - pharmacokinetics of three single oral doses of BIA 9-1067 (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg) when co-administered with immediate release levodopa/carbidopa 100 mg/25 mg or levodopa/benserazide 100 mg/25 mg in PD patients. ;Primary end point(s): To investigate the effect of three single oral doses of BIA 9-1067 (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg) on the levodopa pharmacokinetics, the Cmax, AUC 0-t and AUC 0-infinite of parameters of levodopa, 3-OMD, BIA 9-1067 and BIA 9-1079 will be the primary variables
