Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients with a diagnosis of at least probable PD according to MDS criteria (Postuma et al. MovDis 2015) and 2. Hoehn & Yahr stage 1 – 3 3. must be non-fluctuating (no wearing-off, no dyskinesia) and stable on symptomatic PD medication for at least 6 weeks 4. age: 30 - 80 years 5. Women of childbearing age potential must be non-lactating and surgically sterile or using a highly effective method of birth control and have a negative pregnancy test. Acceptable methods of birth control with a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correct are for example implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence or vasectomized partner 6. Capable of thoroughly understanding all information given and giving full informed consent according to GCP 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 30 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 45

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Atypical, secondary Parkinsonian syndromes, PD mimics, or any other medical condition known to have an association with Parkinsonian syndromes, which might confound or obscure the diagnosis of PD 2. Patients with a history of intracranial bleeding, known intracerebral aneurysms or Moyamoya disease, or positive family history for the above. If only family history positive, MR- or x-ray-based cranial imaging not older than 24 months must confirm absence of bleeding, aneurysms, or Moyamoya 3. Presence of any concomitant life-threatening disease or impairment likely to interfere with functional assessment 4. Patients with known arterial hypotension (resting blood pressure 180 mmHg systolic and/or >120 mmHg diastolic under current antihypertensive medication) 6. Known pulmonary hypertension and any medication prescribed for treatment of pulmonary hypertension 7. Confirmed hepatic insufficiency or abnormal liver function (stable ASAT and/or ALAT greater than 3 times the upper limit of the normal range) and determined to be non-transient through repeat testing 8. Renal insufficiency with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 ml/min/1,73m² (calculated by MDRD equation) or XY (calculated by CKD-EPI equation) and determined to be non-transient through repeat testing 9. Major psychiatric disorder, significant cognitive impairment or clinically evident dementia precluding evaluation of symptoms 10. Hypersensitivity to any component of the IMP 11. Liable to be not cooperative or comply with the trial requirements (as assessed by the investigator), or unable to be reached in the case of emergency 12. Pregnant or breast-feeding females or females with childbearing potential, if no adequate contraceptive measures are used 13. Previous participation in another clinical study involving trial medication within the preceding 12 weeks or five terminal half times of the longest to be eliminated trial medications (whichever is longer) or previous participation in this trial
