Women must be given a pregnancy test unless they are at least 2 years postmenopausal or surgically sterile. Exclusion Criteria: Patients will be excluded from participating in this study if 1 or more of the following criteria are met: * Have atypical Parkinsonism due to drugs, metabolic disorders, encephalitis, or other neurodegenerative diseases * Have confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease for more than 5 years * Have a tremor score of 3 or more in any body part * Have any other known medical or psychiatric condition that may compromise participation in the study * Have a history of prior malignancy (excluding basal or squamous cell cancer of the skin) within the previous 5 years * Have an unresolved abnormal cancer screening test result before randomization * Have greater than trace amounts of glycosuria at screening, except for known diabetic patients * Have estimated creatinine clearance less than 50 mL/min * Have liver function tests (LFT) greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) * Have any other clinically significant ECG or laboratory finding * Have any history of malignant melanoma * Have history of seizures (except febrile) or posttraumatic epilepsy * Have Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) score ≤ 26 * Have taken another investigational drug within 60 days before the baseline visit * Have received prior treatment with CEP-1347 * Have received treatment with agents with potentially confounding anti-Parkinson's disease effects, with specified substrates for CYP3A4/5, or with inhibitors of CYP3A4/5 * Received treatment within 6 months before the baseline visit with agents that may induce Parkinson's disease * Are expected, within the next 3 months, to reach a level of disability sufficient to require dopaminergic therapy * Have BECK depression score ≥ 15 * Have known or suspected sensitivity to the investigational study drugs, including B-CIT
