- Pulmonary Safety Assessed by Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second [FEV1] [ Time Frame: Month 12 reported ]To characterize the pulmonary safety, as assessed by spirometry (forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1], over a 12 month period.
- Pulmonary Safety Assessed by Forced Vital Capacity [FVC]. [ Time Frame: Month 12 reported ]To characterize the pulmonary safety, as assessed by spirometry (forced vital capacity).
- Pulmonary Safety Assessed by Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second / Forced Vital Capacity Ratio. [ Time Frame: Month 12 reported ]To characterize the pulmonary safety, as assessed by spirometry (forced expiratory volume in 1 second / forced vital capacity ratio).
- Diffusion Capacity of the Lungs for Carbon Monoxide (DLco). [ Time Frame: Month 12 reported ]To describe the effects of CVT-301 on diffusion capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLco) over a 12-month period.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 30 Years to 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Has signed and dated an Internal Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC)-approved informed consent form before any protocol-specific screening procedures are performed.
- Women of child-bearing potential must use protocol-defined contraceptive measures and must have a negative serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test at screening. These patients must be willing to remain on their current form of contraception for the duration of the study.
- Patients who have idiopathic PD (i.e., not induced by drugs or other diseases) as defined by fulfilling Steps 1 and 2 of the United Kingdom (UK) Brain Bank criteria, diagnosed after the age of 30 years.
- Patients who are classified as Stage 1 to 3 (in the ON state) on the modified Hoehn and Yahr scale for staging of PD severity.
- Patients who have experienced motor fluctuations for a minimum of 2 hours of average daily OFF time per waking day (excluding early morning OFF time) by self-report and confirmed by the PD Diary (on 3 consecutive days) during the screening period.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have dyskinesia of a severity that would significantly interfere with their ability to participate or perform study procedures.
- Pregnant or lactating females or females wishing to become pregnant.
- Patients who have any known contraindication to the use of levodopa (LD), including a history of malignant melanoma or a history of narrow-angle glaucoma.
- Patients who have had previous surgery for PD (including but not limited to deep brain stimulation [DBS] or cell transplantation).
- Patients with a history of psychotic symptoms requiring treatment, or suicide ideation or attempt within the prior 12 months.
