Brief Summary:

This randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of inhaled CVT 301 compared with placebo in PD patients experiencing motor response fluctuations (OFF phenomena) as an outpatient (i.e., at home) and in the clinic.

Patients who successfully complete this study will be eligible to enroll into a 12 month treatment extension (CVT-301-004E) study.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III [ Time Frame: 30 minutes post-dose at week 12 ]
    Primary Efficacy Analysis: Change from Predose in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III Score at 30 Minutes post-dose at Week 12 for CVT-301 High Dose versus Placebo (ITT Population). UPDRS Part III ranges from 0 minimum to 86 maximum, with lower scores indicating better movement. Units on a scale.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of Patients Achieving Resolution of an OFF to an ON State Within 60 Minutes. [ Time Frame: at week 12 ]
    Examiner-assessed observation - Subject Achieving Resolution of an OFF to and ON state within 60 Minutes at TV4 - Observed

  2. UPDRS Part III Motor Score at 20 Minutes [ Time Frame: at week 12 ]
    Change from Predose in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III Score at 20 Minutes post-dose at Week 12 for CVT-301 High Dose versus Placebo (ITT Population) and CVT 301 Low Dose versus Placebo. UPDRS Part III ranges from 0 minimum to 86 maximum, with lower scores indicating better movement. Units on a scale.

  3. Proportion of Subjects Who Improved PGIC With CVT-301 vs. Placebo at Week 12 [ Time Frame: week 12 ]
    Patient Global impression of change at treatment visit 4 (week 12) by improvement category. Seven point Likert scale ranging from 1= much worse to 7= much better.

  4. UPDRS Part III at 10 Min. [ Time Frame: week 12 ]
    Change from Predose in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III Score at 10 Minutes post-dose at Week 12 for CVT-301 High Dose versus Placebo (ITT Population). UPDRS Part III ranges from 0 minimum to 86 maximum, with lower scores indicating better movement. Units on a scale.

  5. PD Patient Diary [ Time Frame: post week 12 ]
    Change in total daily OFF times for 3 consecutive days prior to week 12 visit compared to 3 consecutive days prior to baseline visit. Participants recorded On or Off state in 30 minute intervals during waking hours.
