Efficacy and Safety of AFQ056 When Combined With Increased Doses of L-dopa in Parkinson's Disease Patients With Moderate-severe L-dopa Induced Dyskinesia

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Parkinson's Disease
Interventions
Drug: AFQ056 with L-dopa
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT01092065
Lead Sponsor

This Phase IIb exploratory study is designed to determine whether AFQ056 is safe and effective and whether it can increase the therapeutic window of L-dopa in patients whose control of their Parkinson's Disease symptoms is limited by the development of dyskinesia induced by use of L-dopa.
