Brief summary

The goal of this study is to test KM-819 in halting or slowing the progression of Parkinson's disease. The study evaluates the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of KM-819 in healthy older adults and participants with Parkinson's disease.

Detailed description

The overall study will consist of three parts (Part 1a, Part 1b and Part 2). Part 1 of this study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and plasma PK of multiple ascending doses (MAD) of KM-819 in healthy older adults (Part 1a) and participants with Parkinson's disease (Part 1b). * Part 1a is a randomized, double-blind, Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) study in healthy older adults that will include 3 cohorts. * Part 1b is a randomized, double-blind, MAD study in participants with Parkinson's disease that will include 3 cohorts. Part 2 of the study is a randomized, double-blind, multiple dose study in participants with Parkinson's disease that will include 2 cohorts. It is designed to test the safety, tolerability, plasma PK and pharmacodynamic effects of KM-819 in participants with Parkinson's disease. The study will also assess the degree to which those treated with KM-819 will experience gains in overall daily function within the context of improved Parkinson's disease motor and non-motor symptoms in comparison to placebo. Participants will be randomized to receive KM-819 or matching placebo at doses to be determined based on the findings from Part 1 in a 2:1 ratio.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Part 2: Change from baseline in the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part II: Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Score at Day 730From screening (Day -42 to -2) to Day 730Activities of Daily living (ADL) will be assessed via MDS-UPDRS score. MDS-UPDRS Part II is a self-administered questionnaire that assesses the motor experience of daily living in participants with Parkinson's disease. Score: 0: Normal, 1: Slight, 2: Mild, 3: Moderate, 4: Severe. Higher the score, the more severe the condition or symptom
Part 1a,1b and 2: Number of participants with adverse events and serious adverse eventsPart 1a and Part 1b: From screening (Day -42 to -3) up to 7 days and Part 2: From screening (Day -42 to -2) to 730 daysTo evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of KM-819
