A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of ENERGI-F705 Tablets for Parkinson's Disease
Starting soon · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Parkinson's Disease (PD)
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if this study drug, ENERGI-F705 Tablets, is safe and works to treat participants who have Parkinson's disease and are currently on standard-of-care antiparkinsonian medications. The main question it aims to answer is: Does ENERGI-F705 Tablets work to treat Parkinson's disease when used with standard-of-care treatment? Investigators will compare the three treatment groups, high-dose ENERGI-F705 Tablets (120 milligrams twice daily), low-dose ENERGI-F705 Tablets (60 milligrams twice daily), and placebo tablets (a look-alike substance that contains no drug), to see if ENERGI-F705 Tablets work to treat Parkinson's disease. Participants will: * Take the study drugs twice a day for 72 weeks in the treatment group * Take routine use of standard-of-care antiparkinsonian medications throughout the study * Visit the outpatient department at scheduled visits, ranging from Day 1 to approximately every 1 to 4 weeks thereafter, for checkups and tests

- Without motor complications, which is defined as a score of 2 or less on the MDS-UPDRS Part IV score at Visit 1 (Screening Visit)
- Has received a stable standard-of-care regimen, as determined by the investigator, during the 12 weeks prior to Visit 2 (Day 1) and is currently on the following antiparkinsonian medications with an average levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) of ≥ 300 mg during the same period, including:
