Brief Summary

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

A Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of BMS-984923 administered orally twice daily (BID) for 28 days in participants with Parkinson's disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This double-blind placebo-controlled study will evaluate 28 days of twice daily dosing of BMS-984923 at two dose levels in comparison to placebo in participants with early Parkinson's disease.

This research study will assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of BMS-984923 for the treatment of early Parkinson's disease and investigate Dopamine transporter levels in the brain measured with single photon emission computed tomography as an early marker of therapeutic response to a treatment that targets synapse restoration.

3. Maintenance on stable Parkinson's disease therapy for at least 28 days prior to Screening/Visit 1 through treatment period to Day 42, with demonstratable medication efficacy as assessed by the Investigator.
4. Severity of Parkinson's disease symptoms assessed by Hoehn and Yahr Staging score ≤3.0 (assessed in the "ON" state).
5. Maintenance on permitted stable non-Parkinson's disease therapy for at least 28 days prior to Day 1 through the treatment period to Day 42.
6. Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at Screening and baseline, as well as be non-lactating and must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during the study and for 30 days following last dose of study drug.
7. Male participants must be sterile or sexually inactive or agree not to father a child during the study and for 1 month after the last dose of study medication and must agree to use a barrier method for contraception. Female partners of male subjects must adopt a highly effective method of contraception

9. Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee-approved consent form signed and dated by the participant

Exclusion Criteria

1. Diagnosis of secondary or atypical parkinsonism

7. Clinical or laboratory findings consistent with another primary neurodegenerative disease or cognitive disorder other than Parkinson's disease, including but not limited to, frontotemporal lobar disease, Huntington's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, multisystem atrophy, Jacob-Creutzfeld Disease, Down's syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, seizure disorder, or other infectious, metabolic or systemic disease affecting the central nervous system including but not limited to, syphilis, present hypothyroidism, present vitamin B12 deficiency, or other laboratory abnormalities
8. Suicidality, defined as active suicidal thoughts or ideation or history of suicide attempt in previous 2 years, or, in the Investigator's opinion, at serious risk of suicide
9. Currently active major depression as determined by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)-II score of \>19
10. Has a history or current diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or major depression according to the criteria of the most current version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
11. Clinically significant or unstable medical condition, including uncontrolled hypertension, or significant cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, endocrine, or other systemic disease that in the Investigator's opinion may either put the participant at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results, or impair the participant's ability to participate in the study
12. Any disorder that could interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs (e.g., small bowel disease, Crohn's disease, celiac disease or liver disease)
13. Hospitalization or change of chronic concomitant medication within 8 weeks prior to baseline
