Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety of BIIB014 and how well BIIB014 is tolerated when given at different doses to patients with early-stage Parkinson's Disease.

This study will also explore:

* How BIIB014 is affected when given to patients with early-stage Parkinson's Disease (this will be done by measuring the levels of BIIB014 in the blood at several different times during the study), and
* The activity of BIIB014 when given to early Parkinson's patients (this will be done by performing different Parkinson's Disease assessments and other tests during the study).

Patients who enter this study will be randomly assigned to receive either BIIB014 or a placebo but because the study is blinded, neither they nor their study doctor will know which study treatment they are taking.

Exclusion Criteria

* A Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score \<26.
* History or clinical features consistent with an atypical parkinsonian syndrome.
* Any significant non-PD central nervous system disorder.
* Any significant AXIS I psychiatric disease as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
