Purpose
This is an exploratory study to evaluate if SYN115 has an effect on Parkinson's disease as measured by clinical symptoms and brain images using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) when a function test is administered.

| Official Title: | A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, Two-way Cross-over Study to Explore the Effects of 7 Days of Dosing With SYN115 20 mg p.o. BID or 60 mg p.o. BID on Clinical and fMRI Response to Intravenous Levodopa in Patients With Mild to Moderate Parkinson's Disease |
- This is an exploratory study to evaluate effects of SYN115 in patients with PD, as determined by clinical and fMRI evaluation. The results of this initial study will help determine the range to be used in subsequent studies. [ Time Frame: Before treatment and at the end of each treatment period ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Pittsburgh side effect scale [ Time Frame: Before, after the first dose and end of each treatment period ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- VAS for overall well being, dizziness/light-headedness, nausea/vomiting, mood anxiety [ Time Frame: Before, after the first dose and end of each treatment period ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Measurement of motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease and tapping speed [ Time Frame: Before, after the first dose and end of each treatment period ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-way crossover study in which each patient will act as their own control. Each patient enrolled will receive both SYN115 (20 mg or 60 mg) and placebo separated by a minimum of one week washout between periods. An adaptive design will be used to determine if SYN115 elicits effects relevant to PD in the fewest number of patients by performing interim analyses in successive cohorts of patients receiving 60 or 20 mg.
