Intervention model description
Thirty-Two (32) to Thirty-Six (36) subjects will be randomized to treatment or placebo. INP103 is a drug-device combination product containing a drug component, L-dopa, and device component, the I231 Precision Olfactory Delivery (POD) device. In Cohorts 1, 2, and 3, L-dopa will be administered intranasally in single doses of one (35 mg), two (70 mg) or four (140 mg) puffs of INP103, 60 minutes after oral benserazide hydrochloride 25 mg. In Cohort 4 the INP103 formulation will contain L-dopa:carbidopa administered nasally. Dosing will take place once OFF episode is confirmed and will not include predosing with oral benserazide.

Mean Maximum Change From Baseline in MDS-UPDRS Part III Score
MDS-UPDRS is a clinimetric assessment of subjective and objective symptoms and signs of Parkinson's disease created by the Movement Disorder Society with high internal consistency. MDS-UPDRS retains the four-scale structure with a reorganization of the various subscales. The subscale used in this study is Part III, motor examination (18 items). The subscale now has 0-4 ratings, where 0 = normal, 1 = slight, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe. The total of the subscales has a maximum value of 132 and a minimum value of zero. Lower scores indicate better motor function. A negative change from baseline indicates improved motor function.
