Clinical Trial Summary

This is a clinical trial to be conducted at multiple Parkinson Study Group (PSG) sites in the USA. Patients with early Parkinson disease will be randomly allocated to one of 4 arms in the study. The 4 arms include 3 arms with different doses of aplindore MR tablets and 1 placebo arm. The study drug will be taken twice a day (BID). The study is blinded and neither subjects, nor the investigators, will know what treatment the subject is receiving. Investigational study drug will be adjusted to the assigned dosage and then maintained at that dosage for the balance of the 12 week follow-up period. The entire study will take about 13 weeks. The study will assess the safety and tolerability of aplindore and measure how effective aplindore is in improving movement and other effects of Parkinson disease.


Clinical Trial Description

For active treatment arms, study drug will be titrated to the assigned dosage and then maintained for up to a 12 week follow-up period before receiving tapered doses in advance of study completion. Dosing will take place over a total of about 13 weeks. ;
