  12. Part 2: Change From Baseline to Week 52 in Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part II+III Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
    MDS-UPDRS is a multimodal scale consisting of 4 parts. Part II assessed motor experiences of daily living (total score range: 0 to 52). It contained 13 questions completed by the participant. Part III assessed the motor signs of PD and was administered by the rater (total score range: 0 to 132). Part III contained 33 scores based on 18 items. In both parts, higher score indicated more severe symptoms. For each question in both parts, numeric score was assigned between 0 to 4, where 0=Normal, 1=Slight, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe. MDS-UPDRS Total Part II and III score = sum of Part II and III scores with score ranged from 0 (no symptom) to 184 (severe symptoms), where higher scores reflected more severe symptoms of PD. Data for this OM was not planned to be collected and analyzed for Part 1, Part 2: DB period re-randomized participants and Part 2 LTFU period, as pre-specified in protocol.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Part 2: Change From Baseline to Week 52 in Parkinson's Disease Cognitive Rating Scale (PD-CRS) Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
    The PD-CRS detects early cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease. It is composed of 2 scales, the fronto-subcortical scale (items: sustained attention, working memory, alternating and action verbal fluency, clock drawing, immediate, and delayed free recall verbal memory) and the posterior-cortical scale (items: confrontation naming and clock copying). The total score of the fronto-subcortical scale (sum of all items) ranged from 0 (worst) to 104 (maximum score indicates better) and the total score of the posterior-cortical scale (sum of all items) ranged from 0 (worst) to 30 (maximum score indicates better). The PD-CRS Total score = the sum of PD-CRS fronto-subcortical score and the PD-CRS posterior-cortical score, which ranged from 0 to 134, where higher score = less impairment.

  2. Part 2: Change From Baseline to Week 52 in Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part I+ II+III Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
    MDS-UPDRS is a multimodal scale consisting of 4 parts. Part I assessed non-motor experiences of daily living and has 2 components (total score range: 0 to 52): Part IA contained 6 questions and was assessed by the examiner (total score range: 0 to 24). Part IB contained 7 questions on non-motor experiences of daily living which was completed by the participant (total score range: 0 to 28). Part II (13 questions completed by the participant) assessed motor experiences of daily living (total score range: 0 to 52). Part III assessed motor signs of PD and was administered by the rater (total score range: 0 to 132). Part III contained 33 scores based on 18 items. In all parts, higher score indicated more symptoms. For each question, numeric score was assigned between 0 to 4, where 0=Normal, 1=Slight, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe. MDS-UPDRS total score = sum of Parts I, II, and III (Range: 0 to 236). Higher score = more severe symptoms of PD.

  3. Part 2: Change From Baseline to Week 52 in Hoehn and Yahr (H and Y) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52 ]
    H and Y scale measured how Parkinson's symptoms progress and the level of disability. Scale allocated stage scores were from 0 to 5 to indicate relative level of disability as: Stage 0: no symptoms; Stage 1: symptoms on one side of the body only; Stage 2: symptoms on both sides of the body, without impairment of balance; Stage 3: Mild to moderate bilateral disease; some postural instability; physically independent; Stage 4: Severe disability; still able to walk or stand unassisted and Stage 5: Wheelchair bound or bedridden unless aided, where higher stage score described an increased severity of disease.
