Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Atypical or secondary Parkinson's Disease 2. Severe Dyskinesia that might interfere with study performance in the judgement of Investigator 3. Clinically significant dysphagia or sialorrhea that might interfere with administration of study intervention in the judgement of the Investigator 4. Use of extended release levodopa within 28 days prior to screening 5. Any clinically significant medical, surgical, or psychiatric condition; laboratory value or ECG result which, in the opinion of the Investigator, makes the participant unsuitable for study entry or potentially unable to complete all aspects of the study. 6. Presence of clinically significant orthostatic hypotension at screening, in the opinion of Investigator or the EAC 7. Suicidal ideation within 1 year prior to the Screening Visit as evidenced by answering "yes" to Questions 4 or 5 on the suicidal ideation portion of the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) or attempted suicide within the last 5 years. 8. History of psychosis or hallucinations in the past six months 9. Any malignancy in the past 5 years (excluding basal cell carcinoma of the skin or cervical carcinoma in situ that have been successfully treated.) 10.

Participants who, for any reason, are judged by the Investigator or the EAC to be inappropriate for this study, including participants who are unable to communicate or cooperate with the Investigator or who have/had a clinically significant illness or abnormal physical examination that may compromise safety of the participant during the trial or affect ability of the participant to adhere to study procedures. 17. Participants taking non-selective monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors 18. Participants with known hypersensitivity to the active ingredients (levodopa, carbidopa) or excipients (Benzoic Acid, Disodium Edetate, Medium Chain Triglycerides, Poloxamer 188) of the drug paste 19.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the DopaFuse System can reduce the fluctuation of plasma levodopa levels as compared to participants' standard intermittent doses of oral LD/CD tablets (background treatment).;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective is to assess whether the DopaFuse system is safe, well tolerated, and can relieve motor symptoms;Primary end point(s): PHARMACOKINETICS: - Variability in plasma concentration of levodopa as assessed with the Levodopa Fluctuation Index (Cmax-Cmin)/Caverage), comparing Day 2 to Day 1 in steady state (4-12 hours). Fluctuation index will also be calculated by the hour. SAFETY AND TOLERABILITY: - TEAEs - SAEs - TEAEs leading to discontinuation - Percent of participants that complete study EFFICACY: - Difference in OFF time between Days 1 and 15, based on in-person investigator ratings;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: PK: Day 1 to 2 Efficacy: Day 1 to Day 15 Safety: Day 1 to Day 29
