Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Tozadenant 60 mg BID	tozadenant	During Part A, patients took two (2) tablets, one 60 mg tozadenant and one placebo, by mouth BID for a total of four (4) tablets per day. Upon completion of Part A, all patients will begin dosing with open label tozadenant in Part B.
Placebo BID	placebo	During Part A, patients took two (2) tablets of placebo, by mouth BID for a total of four (4) tablets per day. Upon completion of Part A, all patients will begin dosing with open label tozadenant in Part B.
Tozadenant 120 mg BID	tozadenant	During Part A, patients took two (2) tablets of 60 mg tozadenant, by mouth BID for a total of four (4) tablets per day. Upon completion of Part A, all patients will begin dosing with open label tozadenant in Part B.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change From Baseline to Week 24 in the Number of Hours Per Day Spent in OFF Time	Baseline to 24 Weeks	Awake time in OFF state (hr) is the average of maximum of 3 days diary. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline to Week 24 in OFF time, where OFF time in the Hauser Parkinson's Disease Home Diary (PD) was averaged over 3 days prior to the study visit. During Screening and through Part A of the study, the Hauser Parkinson's Disease Home Diary (PD) was completed on specified days directly preceding the scheduled study visits/assessments. Motor activity was recorded as OFF, ON (mobility improved), or asleep time. Patients were asked to record ON time according to dyskinesia categories "without dyskinesia", "with non troublesome dyskinesia" or "with troublesome dyskinesia". Patients (and/or caregivers) were trained to complete the PD diary to record their status at half hourly intervals as OFF, ON without dyskinesia, ON with non troublesome dyskinesia, ON with troublesome dyskinesia, or asleep.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in Good ON Time From Baseline to Week 24	Baseline to 24 Weeks	The first key secondary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline to Week 24 in good ON which was defined as ON without dyskinesia or ON with non-troublesome dyskinesia. Awake Time in Good ON State (hr) is the average of a maximum of 3 days diary. Patients were asked to record ON time according to dyskinesia categories "without dyskinesia", "with non troublesome dyskinesia" or "with troublesome dyskinesia" . Patients (and/or caregivers) were trained to complete the PD diary to record their status at half hourly intervals as OFF, ON without dyskinesia, ON with non troublesome dyskinesia, ON with troublesome dyskinesia, or asleep. For patients with missing baseline or baseline was measured post-dose, screening was used as baseline in the calculation of change from baseline.
Change in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part II Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Subscale + Part III Motor Function	Baseline to Week 24	The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) is a scale to monitor Parkinson's Disease related disability and impairment. The scale itself has 4 components are titled; (1) nonmotor experiences of daily living (13 items), (2) motor experiences of daily living (13 items), (3) motor examination (18 items), and (4) motor complications (six items). Each subscale now has 0-4 ratings, where 0 = normal, 1 = slight, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe. In this outcome measure we are evaluating Part II and Part III. Part II: self-evaluation of the activities of daily life (ADLs) including speech, swallowing, handwriting, dressing, hygiene, falling, salivating, turning in bed, walking, and cutting food Part III: clinician-scored monitored motor evaluation Range of score is 0 - 160: 0 meaning less impact and Higher score indicates greater impact of PD symptoms.
Change From Baseline to Week 24 in the ON State in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part IIl	Baseline to Week 24	Change from Baseline to Week 24 in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Parts III Motor Function (motor subscale) total scores. Each subscale has 0-4 ratings, where 0 = normal, 1 = slight, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe. Range of score is 0 - 108. Higher scores indicate greater impact of PD symptoms. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) in the ON state was measured at a time representative of the ON state in that patient, not in "best" ON. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III in OFF was not evaluated.
