Brief summary

This randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of inhaled CVT 301 compared with placebo in PD patients experiencing motor response fluctuations (OFF phenomena) as an outpatient (i.e., at home) and in the clinic. Patients who successfully complete this study will be eligible to enroll into a 12 month treatment extension (CVT-301-004E) study.

Inclusion criteria

* Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (PD) diagnosed between the ages of 30 and 85 years; * Hoehn and Yahr Stage 1-3 in an on state; * Require levodopa-containing medication regimen at least 3 times during the waking day; * Experience motor fluctuations with a minimum of 2 hours of average daily off time per waking day (excluding early morning off time) and demonstrate levodopa responsiveness; * Are on stable PD medication regimen; * Total daily LD dose \<1600 mg/day; * Able to perform a spirometry maneuver in the ON and OFF states; * Normal cognition confirmed by MMSE score ≥25

Exclusion criteria

* Pregnant or lactating females; * Previous surgery for PD or plan to have stereotactic surgery during the study period; * History of psychotic symptoms requiring treatment, or suicide ideation or attempt within last year; * Known contraindication to the use of levodopa; * Any significant condition, severe concurrent disease, abnormality or finding that would make patients unsuitable or may compromise patient safety; * Any contraindication to performing routine spirometry.
