A Phase Ib Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy Study of Two Days of Oral Split Dose (25/20 mg) Administration of PF 06412562 in Subjects With Advanced Stage Parkinson's Disease

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of the investigational drug
PF-06412562 compared to the current medical standard of care medication for Parkinson's
disease, carbidopa/levodopa. This research also is being done to find out if the
investigational drug PF-06412562 can help improve the motor (movement) function, alertness,
and cognitive (thinking) skills of people who are considered to be in the advanced-stage of
Parkinson's disease. In this study, PF06412562 is 'investigational,' which means that it is
experimental and has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but can
be used in clinical research studies such as this one.

The investigators are conducting a randomized, double-blind, carbidopa/levodopa-controlled
crossover safety, tolerability, and efficacy study of the investigational compound,
PF-06412562, in advanced Parkinson's patients. The primary purpose of this study is to test
the safety and tolerability of the investigational drug PF-06412562 compared to the current
medical standard of care medication for Parkinson's disease, carbidopa/levodopa, in these
patients. This secondary purpose of this research is to find out if the investigational drug
PF-06412562 can help improve the motor (movement) function, alertness, and cognitive
(thinking) skills of people who are considered to be in the advanced-stage of Parkinson's
disease. This study will inform the field as to whether PF-06412562 is safe and
well-tolerated in advanced Parkinson's patients, and also may provide preliminary data on its
efficacy in several domains.
