- Change from Baseline to Day 42 in the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV (WAIS-IV) Coding Test Score [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 42 ]WAIS-IV coding test is a valid and sensitive measure of cognitive dysfunction that correlates with real-world functional outcomes (e.g., the ability to accomplish everyday tasks) and recovery from functional disability used to assess processing speed. The participant is required to identify the symbols matched to numbers using a key and write in the symbol beneath the associated number. The total score ranges from 0 to 135 and is based on the total number of codes correctly completed over a 120-second time limit. Higher scores indicate better processing speed. Positive change from baseline indicates better processing speed.
- Percentage of Participants with at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) and TEAEs by Severity [ Time Frame: Up to Day 70 ]
- Number of Participants who Withdraw Due to Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to Day 70 ]

- Have stable motor symptoms for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening, in the opinion of the investigator.
- Must be able to complete the Color Trails Test 1 (including the ability to follow rater redirection and correct errors), and, based on participant's performance and investigator's opinion, participant is expected to be capable of engaging in prolonged cognitive testing for the duration of the study.
Exclusion Criteria:

- Have any parkinsonism other than PD, including secondary parkinsonism or atypical parkinsonism.
- In the opinion of the investigator, be experiencing fluctuations in motor symptoms associated with PD that will interfere with completing study procedures.
- Have an ongoing central nervous system condition other than PD that in the opinion of the investigator could influence the outcome of the study.
- Have experienced significant psychotic symptoms, including hallucinations or delusions, within the past 3 months, in the opinion of the investigator.
- Have a history of brain surgery, deep brain stimulation, or any history of hospitalization due to a brain injury.
