The objective of this trial is to evaluate safety and efficacy of rotigotine nasal spray (SPM 952) in a single dose application scheme.
Subjects will undergo a 2 - 28 days screening period in which eligibility criteria will be checked. Subjects will then be hospitalized for one night. In the morning of the next day, subjects will be randomly assigned either to rotigotine or placebo nasal spray and will then receive a single dose of trial medication. Safety assessments after application include adverse events, 12-lead electrocardiograms, blood pressure and heart rate assessments, and laboratory checks. Efficacy will be assessed by application of motor examination scores.
The first subject is planned to be enrolled in February 2006. The last subject is planned to be enrolled in May 2006. Last subject out is expected for August 2006.

- Number of Subjects Who Complete the Trial [ Time Frame: 15 days ]
- Change From Baseline at 24 Minutes Post-dose in Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III Motor Examination [ Time Frame: Baseline, and 24 minutes post-dose ]The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) is a scale for the assessment of function in Parkinson's disease. UPDRS Part III measures Motor Examination. Range: 0 (Best score possible) to 56 (Worst score possible) Change = 24 minute value minus baseline value.
- Change From Baseline to 34 Minutes Post-dose in Tapping Rate (Taps/Min) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 34 minutes post-dose ]One-minute tapping rate will be calculated as the number of times a subject could tap on two 4 x 4 cm marks placed on a board 30 cm apart during 1 minute (30 cm measured from the inner border of the two boxes).
- "Success Rate" (Percentage of Subjects Achieving "Off" Reversals) [ Time Frame: Up to 6 hours post-dose ]Subjects reversing from "off" to "on" following initiation of treatment. "On" and "off" state refer to periods where Parkinson's disease symptoms are not present ("on") and periods where symptoms are present ("off"); the "on"/"off" determination at each assessment timepoint was made by the investigator.
- Time of First "Off" Reversal [ Time Frame: Up to 6 hours post-dose ]Number of minutes to first reversal of symptoms from "off" to "on". Estimated via Kaplan-Meier estimation method. "On" and "off" state refer to periods where Parkinson's disease symptoms are not present ("on") and periods where symptoms are present ("off"); the "on"/"off" determination at each assessment timepoint was made by the investigator.
