  Purpose

The purpose of this research study is to test the effect of SYN115 compared to placebo (a "sugar pill" that looks like SYN115 but does not include active drug) on movement during the "on" and "off" states as well as other symptoms that some patients with Parkinson's disease experience. This study will also look at whether or not patients with Parkinson's disease experience "side-effects" with SYN115.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Assess efficacy of different doses of SYN115 for reducing the mean total hours of awake time per day spent in the off state [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To assess the effect of SYN115 on dyskinesia [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess the effect of SYN115 on UPDRS scores [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess investigator and patient impressions of PD severity and change [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess the effect of SYN115 on non motor symptoms of PD [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess the safety and tolerability of SYN115 [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • To assess the effects of SYN115 on daytime drowsiness, impulsive behavior, development of melanoma and suicidal ideation [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
