The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of a range of doses of SCH 420814 (preladenant) when used together with a stable dose of L-dopa/dopa decarboxylase inhibitor to treat Parkinson's disease. In this study, we will be comparing 3 doses (1 mg, 2 mg, and 5 mg taken twice a day) of preladenant with placebo (sugar pill). Following an Interim Analysis (temporary hold for new enrollment-ongoing subjects will continue on treatment) to review drug safety, a new dose group of 10 mg (taken twice a day) may be added. Approximately 160 participants will be randomized in this study in approximately 22 study centers worldwide for the first part of this study. Following the Interim Analysis, 40 new participants may be added, for a total of 200 participants. The study is double blind, which means neither you nor your study doctor will know whether you are receiving the study medication or placebo.

Participants must receive L-dopa as part of their usual ongoing treatment for Parkinson's Disease. L-dopa is often administered concomitantly with a dopa decarboxylase inhibitor (e.g., carbidopa).
Participants may also receive other drugs as part of their usual ongoing treatment for Parkinson's Disease, such as dopamine agonists (e.g., pramipexole) and/or the catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitor entacapone.
Change From Baseline to Endpoint of 12 Weeks in the 3-day Average of Awake Time Per Day Spent in the "Off" State
"Off" time refers to periods of inadequate control of Parkinson disease symptoms (worsening or presence of symptoms). For baseline and the 12 weeks treatment period, hours spent in the "off" state during awake time were recorded in half-hour time intervals using a daily diary at least 3 full days before scheduled visits. For baseline, the 24-hour average over 3 consecutive days was derived for Week -1. For endpoint, the 24-hour average was derived for the last available 3 consecutive days with postbaseline data available during the treatment period. Change from baseline in least squares (LS) means and pooled standard deviation (SD) were obtained from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with effect for treatment and baseline covariate. A negative change from baseline signifies less time spent in the "off" state.
Time frame: Baseline (Week -1) and up to 12 weeks
Change From Baseline in Awake Time Per Day Spent in the "Off" State at Each Visit
"Off" time refers to periods of inadequate control of Parkinson disease symptoms (worsening or presence of symptoms). Hours spent in the "off" state during awake time were recorded in half-hour time intervals using a daily diary at least 3 full days before scheduled visits. For baseline, the 24-hour average over 3 consecutive days was derived for Week -1. For treatment period visits, the 24-hour average was derived for the final 3 consecutive days with data available for the particular visit. Change from baseline in LS means and pooled SD were obtained from an ANCOVA model with treatment effect and baseline covariate. A negative change from baseline signifies less time spent in the "off" state.
Time frame: Baseline (Week -1) and Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
Change From Baseline in Awake Time Per Day Spent in the "on" State

For baseline, the 24-hour average over 3 consecutive days was derived for Week -1. For endpoint, the 24-hour average was derived for the last available 3 consecutive days with postbaseline data available during the treatment period. For treatment period visits, the 24-hour average was derived for the final 3 consecutive days with data available for the particular visit. Change from baseline in LS means and pooled SD were obtained from an ANCOVA model with effect for treatment and baseline covariate. A positive (+) change from baseline signifies more time spent in the "on" state.

For baseline, the 24-hour average over 3 consecutive days was derived for Week -1. For endpoint, the 24-hour average was derived for the last available 3 consecutive days with postbaseline data available during the treatment period. For treatment period visits, the 24-hour average was derived for the final 3 consecutive days with data available for the particular visit.

Results are presented as participants showing the respective change in frequency of sleep attacks at baseline to the week of assessment (Week 2) (as reported by the participant). For example, someone who had \>2 sleep attacks at BL who had a decrease of 1-2 by Week 2 would be reported as BL \>2 to WK2 1-2. BL = baseline. WK = week.
