Inclusion criteria

* Healthy as determined by a responsible physician, based on medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, concomitant medication, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, cardiac Holter monitoring and clinical laboratory evaluations. * Clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease meeting United Kingdom Brain Bank criteria.

Exclusion criteria

* Clinically relevant history of abnormal physical or mental health interfering with the study as determined by medical history and physical examinations obtained during Screening as judged by the Investigator (including \[but not limited to\], neurological, psychiatric, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, hepatic, or renal disorder), excluding Parkinson's disease. * Clinically significant, as judged by the Investigator, neurologic disorder (other than Parkinson's disease) including history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack within 12 months of Screening, cognitive impairment, seizure within 5 years of Screening or head trauma with loss of consciousness within 6 months of Screening.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pharmacokinetics parameters - Cmax0-48 hoursPlasma PK concentrations including but not limited to: maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) (ng/ml)
Pharmacokinetics parameters - tmax0-48 hoursPlasma PK concentrations including but not limited to: time to reach Cmax (tmax) (minutes)
Pharmacokinetics parameters - AUC0-t0-48 hoursPlasma PK concentrations including but not limited to: area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from zero to the last quantifiable concentration () (ng/ml x hours)
Pharmacokinetics parameters - AUC0-∞0-48 hoursPlasma PK concentrations including but not limited to: AUC from zero to infinity (AUC0-∞)(ng/ml x hours)
Pharmacokinetics parameters - AUC0-24h0-48 hoursPlasma PK concentrations including but not limited to: AUC from zero to 24 hours () (ng/ml x hours)
Pharmacokinetics parameters - AUC0-48h0-48 hoursPlasma PK concentrations including but not limited to: AUC from zero to 48 hours (AUC0-48h) (ng/ml x hours)
Pharmacokinetics parameters - half life0-48 hoursPlasma PK concentrations including but not limited to: half life (t1/2) (hours)
Pharmacodynamic parameters-PupillometryThrough study completion, an average of 1 yearThe pupillometry measurements will be completed in a room where ambient noise and lighting will be controlled and uniform. After resting for 5 minutes, and before and after receiving the study drug, the pupillometry measurements (repeated once) will be taken from each eye using a pupilometer with an opaque rubber cup covering one eye. Each pupillometry session measuring both eyes will be approximately 1 minute.
Pharmacodynamic parameters - EEGThrough study completion, an average of 1 yearAbsolute and relative power spectral densities (PSDs) calculated for each 1 second epoch (1-59 Hz bins). Also grouped into the standard EEG bandwidths: delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma. Additionally, the PSD variables will be averaged across brain regions of interest, including frontal, central, parietal, temporal and occipital
Pharmacodynamic parameters - Food VASThrough study completion, an average of 1 yearThe following questions will be asked: 1. How hungry do you feel (from 'not hungry at all' to 'very hungry')? 2. How full do you feel (from 'not full at all' to 'very full')? 3. How satisfied do you feel (from 'completely empty' to 'I cannot eat more')? 4. How much do you think you can eat now (from 'nothing at all' to 'a lot')?
Pharmacodynamic parameters- Daily Food DiaryThrough study completion, an average of 1 year"You are required to keep an up-to-date food diary for the next few days, recording everything you consume (all nutrition that passes your lips)"
Pharmacodynamic parameters - Test MealThrough study completion, an average of 1 yearThe test meal model is an accepted experimental method for assessing the effects of an intervention on food intake in a laboratory setting. In its simplest form, it involves offering participants an excess amount of pre-weighed food (a pasta-based meal), instructing participants to eat the test meal until they feel comfortably full, and then weighing the amount of food remaining once the participant has finished eating.13 The weight of food consumed can then be determined (±0.1 g) and from the nutritional information on the food packaging, energy intake (kJ) can be calculated.
Pharmacodynamic parameters - Appetite and Palatability QuestionnaireThrough study completion, an average of 1 yearThis questionnaire consists of thirteen VAS questions and one multiple choice question which in sum examine the palatability of the test meal, the participants' motivation to eat, the general wellbeing and physiological sensations of the participants, and the reason why they stopped eating. The VAS questions are self-rated by the participant by putting a perpendicular marking on each of the thirteen 100 mm lines
