Inclusion Criteria
  • Male or female participants 40 to 85 years of age, inclusive, at the time of informed consent.
  • Meet the diagnostic criteria for "Probable PD" as assessed on the Movement Disorder Society (MDS) Clinical Diagnostic Criteria for PD as assessed by the Investigator.
  • Have a clinician-documented diagnosis of idiopathic PD with an onset within 2 years of the Screening Visit

Key

Exclusion Criteria
  • Medical history indicating a Parkinsonian syndrome other than idiopathic PD, including, but not limited to, progressive supranuclear gaze palsy, multiple system atrophy, drug-induced Parkinsonism, essential tremor, or primary dystonia.
  • Diagnosis of clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) disease other than PD.
  • Participants who are current smokers (defined as smoking [in any form, e.g., tobacco smoke, electronic cigarettes, etc.] within 6 months prior to the Baseline Visit).
  • Treatment with PD medication(s) for a total of more than 28 days or treatment with any PD medication within 90 days of the Baseline Visit.
  • Any other condition(s) that may compromise participant safety, interfere with study conduct, or jeopardize the potential proper interpretation of study results, in the opinion of the investigator.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to first qualifying worsening event on Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part IIUp to 48 Weeks

To evaluate the efficacy of BHV-8000 compared to placebo. This objective is measured by assessing the time to prespecified worsening on MDS-UPDRS Part II (motor experiences of daily living per self-administered questionnaire). MDS-UPDRS Part II is a 52-point scale with a higher total score representing more severe disability.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in DaT-SPECT scan from Baseline to Week 48Baseline to Week 48

To evaluate the efficacy of BHV-8000 compared to placebo. This objective is measured by change in DaT-SPECT Striatal Binding Ratio (SBR) in the putamen (assessing the activity of the dopamine transporters). Reduced uptake of the radiotracer is indicative of a decreased number of dopamine-secreting cells and suggestive of disease progression.

Change in Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III from Baseline to Week 48Baseline to Week 48

To evaluate the efficacy of BHV-8000 compared to placebo. This objective is measured by assessing the change in MDS-UPDRS Part III (motor examination conducted by rater). MDS-UPDRS Part III is a 132-point scale with a higher total score representing a greater degree of motor impairment.

Change in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) from Baseline to Week 48Baseline to Week 48

To evaluate the efficacy of BHV-8000 compared to placebo. This objective is measured by assessing the change in severity of a participant's illness as determined by the managing clinician. The CGI-S is a 7-point scale (1 - 7) with 7 representing the most extremely ill participants.

Change in Parkinson's Disease Composite Score - Function (PARCOMS-Function) from Baseline to Week 48Baseline to Week 48

To compare the efficacy of BHV-8000 compared to placebo. This objective is measured by changes in the Parkinson's Disease Composite Score - Function (PARCOMS-Function) score. The PARCOMS-Function is a composite of select items taken from the MDS-UPDRS Part II and the PDQ-39© (assessing ability to complete daily activities). The PARCOMS-Function is a 100-point scale (0 - 100) with higher scores representing greater dysfunction.

Number of Participants with Deaths, Serious AEs (SAEs), AEs Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation, and moderate or severe AEsBaseline to Week 48

To assess the safety and tolerability of BHV-8000. This objective will be measured by assessing the number of unique participants with deaths, SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, and moderate and severe AEs.

Number of participants with clinically significant laboratory abnormalitiesBaseline to Week 48

To assess the safety and tolerability of BHV-8000. This objective will be measured by assessing the number of unique participants with treatment-emergent Grade 3 and 4 laboratory abnormalities.
