Study Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study in participants with Parkinson's disease (PD) with motor fluctuations. Participants will be randomized to receive once-daily oral doses of either 75 milligrams (mg) CVN424 or 150 mg CVN424, or a matching placebo for 12 weeks. Participants who successfully complete this study and retain eligibility/suitability will be invited to participate in a future open-label extension (OLE) study.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of PD consistent with United Kingdom (UK) Brain Bank criteria and MDSResearch Criteria for the Diagnosis of PD; must include bradykinesia with sequenceeffect and motor asymmetry if no rest tremor, and a prominent response to levodopa.

  • Body Mass Index (BMI) > 18.0 and < 35.0 Kilograms per meter square (kg/m^2),inclusive at Screening.

  • Modified Hoehn and Yahr Stage ≤ 3 in the ON state.

  • Freely ambulatory at the time of Screening (with/without assistive device).

  • Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Score of at least 24.

  • PD medications must be stable for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening; monoamineoxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors must be stable for at least 12 weeks prior toScreening.

  • Levodopa administration at least 4 times daily (immediate or extended release) orthree times daily (Rytary or Crexont).

  • Stable use of oral anti-sialorrhea medications for 30 days before Screening, withoutanticipated need for change during the study.

  • Average of ≥ 3 h total OFF time/day on Screening home diaries, with at least 2.5hours OFF on each diary day.

  • During Screening, capable of adequately identifying ON, OFF, and dyskinetic states (>80% concordance) through properly completed ON/OFF diaries.

  • Female participants of childbearing potential and male participants with femalepartners of childbearing potential must agree to either remain abstinent or useadequate and reliable contraception throughout the study and for at least 12 weeksafter the last dose of study drug has been taken.

  • Able and willing to give written informed consent approved by an institutionalreview board, and to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests,and other study-related procedures.

  • Approved as an appropriate and suitable candidate by the Enrollment AuthorizationCommittee (EAC)

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of secondary or atypical parkinsonism.

  • Severe or disabling dyskinesias or OFF expected to preclude successful studyparticipation, in the opinion of the investigator.

  • Any previous procedure or therapy designed to provide continuous levodopa orstimulation of dopaminergic tone (i.e., Duopa, apomorphine, subcutaneous levodopa),surgery for PD (i.e., deep brain stimulation [DBS]), or anticipation of these duringthe study.

  • History of exclusively diphasic, OFF state, myoclonic or dystonic dyskinesiaswithout peak-dose choreiform dyskinesia.

  • Clinically significant orthostatic hypotension (consistently symptomatic or requiresmedication).

  • Clinically significant hallucinations requiring antipsychotic use.

  • Current use of strong CYP3A4/5 inhibitors or inducers.

  • Routine use of PD on-demand medications (i.e., inhaled levodopa, apomorphineinjection). Routine use defined as three (3) or more uses per week of on-demandmedication is not allowed. On demand medications should only be used for medicalemergencies and should be avoided on anticipated diary days, as best as possible.

  • Use of injectable botulinum medication for sialorrhea within 90 days of screening orduring the study.

  • Current use of medication with dopamine antagonist activity, or any use within 12months of Screening.

  • Clinically significant medical, surgical, psychiatric, or laboratory abnormalitiesthat in the judgment of the investigator would preclude adequate participation orcompletion of the study.

  • Clinically significant ECG abnormalities at Screening.

  • Prolonged Fridericia-corrected QT (QTcF) interval on ECG at Screening.

  • Clinically significant heart disease within 2 years of Screening, defined asfollows:

  • Significant cardiac event within 12 weeks prior to Screening (e.g., admissionfor myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or decompensated heart failure),angina pectoris or episode of congestive heart failure with symptoms > grade 2New York Heart Association classification, or presence of cardiac disease thatin the opinion of the investigator increases the risk of ventriculararrhythmia.

  • History of complex arrhythmia (multifocal premature ventricular contractions,bigeminy, trigeminy, ventricular tachycardia) that was symptomatic or requiredtreatment.

  • Symptomatic or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation despite treatment, orasymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia

  • Symptomatic bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome or atrioventricular block greaterthan first degree in the absence of a pacemaker

  • Unexplained syncope

  • Brugada syndrome

  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

  • Any clinically significant history of malignancy or ongoing malignancy of sufficientconcern for interference with completion of the study or quality of studyexperience, in the opinion of the investigator and medical monitor.

  • Active major depressive disorder or a Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) score of > 19.

  • Has active suicidal ideation within one year prior to Screening as determined by theC-SSRS or attempted suicide within the last 5 years.

  • Tests positive at Screening for drugs of abuse. Drugs of abuse refers to illicitsubstances and does not include participants taking physician-prescribedmedications. For participants who are legally prescribed cannabis for medicalreasons, the appropriateness of the participant for this study will be made by thejudgement of the Investigator in consultation with the Medical monitor.

  • Has alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levelsgreater than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or a degree of hepaticimpairment using the Child-Pugh classification of B or C.

  • Significant renal impairment as determined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than or equal to 60 milliliters per minute (ml/min).

  • Has a positive test result for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis Cvirus antibodies (HCV) antibody, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection atScreening.

  • Currently lactating or pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.

  • Previous exposure to CVN424.

  • Currently participating in or has participated in another study of aninvestigational medicinal product (IMP) or medical device in the last 3 months orwithin 5 half-lives of the IMP (whichever is longer) prior to Screening.
