Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Diagnosis of clinically probable Parkinson’s disease according to the MDS clinical diagnostic criteria for PD(1) • Males or Females. • Hoehn and Yahr stage = 2 in the ON medication state. This implies that all patients will be mobile without assistance during their best “ON” medication periods. • All patients will be =35 and =80 years of age. • Signed informed consent to participate in the trial. • High- and mixed affinity binder on TSPO rs6971 polymorphism gene sequencing Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 5 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 10
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Extended treatment adjustment or significant motor fluctuations during the last 30 days. • Atypical or other causes of parkinsonism. Patients with suspected Multiple System Atrophy, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, drug-induced parkinsonism, vascular parkinsonism, dystonic or essential tremor will not be included in the trial. • Prior intra-cerebral surgical intervention for Parkinson’s disease. Patients who have previously undergone Deep Brain Stimulation, intra-cerebral administration of growth factors, gene therapy or cell therapies will not be eligible. • Already actively participating in a trial of a device, drug or surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease. • Previous exposure to Montelukast of more than six months during the last 12 months and not in the last month before entering the trial. • Known abnormality on CT or MRI brain imaging considered likely to compromise compliance with trial protocol/FDG-PET acquisition. • Congenital or acquired abnormal lumbar anatomy which might affect safety and comfort during lumbar puncture procedure. • Co-morbidity with severe heart/lung disease (including asthma), liver disease, dementia, depression or autoimmune disease • Known hypersensitivity to Montelukast or any of the inactive ingredients. • Pregnancy

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Safety and tolerability of Montelukast treatment in Parkinson's disease.;Secondary Objective: To study the anti-inflammatory properties of Montelukast in the brain. To study the inflammatory response in Parkinson’s disease by measuring biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid, urine and blood. To study pharmacokinetic properties of Montelukast by measuring levels of Montelukast in cerebrospinal fluid and serum.;Primary end point(s): • Documentation and evaluation of adverse events.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at 4 and 12 week clinic visits and 2, 6 and 9 week telephone follow up. | — |
