Sponsor's own description
This trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1b study evaluating the safety/tolerability, PK, and pharmacodynamics of VENT 02, administered orally at 1 dose level twice daily (BID) over 28 days in patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease. The study includes a screening period, a 28-day double-blind treatment period, and a 7-day follow-up period after last dose. Approximately 30 patients will be randomized into 1 of the 2 treatment arms.
