Phase 3 Study of CVN424 (Parkinson's Disease) - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to find out if an experimental drug called CVN424 (the study drug) can help people diagnosed with advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD) who are on a stable dose of medication and continue to experience three of more hours of "OFF-time." OFF-time is a term that refers to the time when people experience PD symptoms between doses of medicine. We want to know if the study drug can reduce symptoms and lower that amount of time.

If you choose to join this study, you will get a random assignment (fair, equal chance) to 1 of 3 groups to either:
- Get a higher dose of the study drug
- Get a lower dose of the study drug
- Get a placebo (inactive substance with no drug in it)
The study drug and placebo are tablets that you will take once a day by mouth. You will take the study drug or placebo for 12 weeks.

We will also give you an electronic diary to use between visits to keep track of your symptoms.
