In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called BIIB122 in participants with early-stage Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study:
- Participants will take 225 milligrams (mg) of BIIB122 or a placebo as tablets by mouth. A placebo looks like the study drug but has no real medicine in it.
- Participants will take BIIB122 or placebo 1 time a day for up to a minimum of 48 weeks and a maximum of 144 weeks.
- Certain medications for PD will be allowed at enrollment for a subset of participants.
- The majority of clinic visits will be every 12 weeks. The main question researchers are trying to answer is if taking BIIB122 slows the worsening of symptoms more than placebo in the early stages of PD.
To help answer this question, researchers will use a questionnaire called the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, also known as the MDS-UPDRS. Researchers will use the MDS-UPDRS to learn about participant PD symptoms and how they affect their daily life. Researchers will also learn more about the safety of BIIB122.
A Phase 2b, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of BIIB122 in Participants With Parkinson's Disease
BIIB122 is an investigational central nervous system-penetrant small molecule inhibitor of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2). Participants who completed the early termination (ET) visit of the study 283PD302 (NCT05418673) would be eligible for screening of this study and if enrolled, these participants are not eligible for the sub studies of 283PD201.
