This study will be an open label, dose escalation study to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of repeated daily quaque die (QD) doses given over 21 days (Day 3 to Day 23) to sequential cohorts of subjects with Parkinson's disease. Each cohort will have 2 study periods. For each cohort, subjects will enter Period 1 and if they meet criteria, approximately 12 subjects will be enrolled into Period 2 and dosed with PF 06649751. Based on results observed in a previous study, Cohorts 1 and 2 will not be conducted. Cohorts 3 - 6 will test doses uptitrated to 5 mg, 15 mg and 25 mg QD. Doses may be modified based on emerging safety, tolerability and PK data, but the maximum daily dose that will be given in any cohort will have PK predictions at steady state that are anticipated to be below toxicokinetic limits. An option for down titration to the previous dose level is available should the investigator consider that an AE is intolerable. Following down titration, a single up titration to the next dose level may be attempted if the subject remains symptom free for at least 48 hrs. Safety, tolerability and PK data of Cohort 3 will be reviewed prior to initiating the dosing in Cohorts 4 and 5. Available safety, tolerability and PK data up to Day 24 of at least 5 subjects from Cohorts 4 will be reviewed prior to initiating the dosing in Cohort 6.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; Initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug to the end of study (up to Day 30) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. AEs included both serious and non-serious adverse events.

The C-SSRS was an interview-based rating scale to systematically assess suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior. C-SSRS assessed whether participant experienced any of the following 1: completed suicide, 2: suicide attempt (response of "yes" on "actual attempt"), 3: preparatory acts toward imminent suicidal behavior ("yes" on "aborted attempt", "interrupted attempt", "preparatory acts or behavior"), 4: any suicidal behavior or ideation, suicidal ideation ("yes" on "wish to be dead", "non-specific active suicidal thoughts", "active suicidal ideation with methods without intent to act or some intent to act, without specific plan or with specific plan and intent"), 7: self-injurious behavior, no suicidal intent ("yes" on "has participant engaged in non-suicidal self-injurious behavior").

Change From Baseline in Parkinson's Disease Diary For Participants With Motor Fluctuations at Day 13
According to Parkinson's disease diaries of participants "OFF" time was a time period when the medication no longer providing benefit with regard to mobility, slowness, and stiffness and participants experienced relatively poor overall function with worsening of tremor, rigidity, balance, or bradykinesia. "ON" time was a time period when medication was providing benefit with regard to mobility, slowness, and stiffness. "ON" time was classified as associated with or without troublesome dyskinesia (TD) that interfere with activities of daily living and with or without dyskinesia. "OFF" time and "ON" time with TD were generally considered to be "bad time" with regard to motor function, whereas "ON" time without dyskinesia (WD) and with non- troublesome dyskinesia (NTD) were generally considered to be "good time".

Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1
Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of L-Dopa
Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1
Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of L-Dopa
Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.
Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1
Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of L-Dopa
Terminal half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration of drug to decrease by one half. It was calculated as dividing the natural logarithm to the base e (Log e)\*2/k el, where k el is the terminal phase rate constant calculated by a linear regression of the log-linear concentration-time curve.
Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1
Area Under the Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinite Time of L-Dopa
AUC (0 - inf)= Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0 - inf). It is obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t - inf).
Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1
Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration of L-Dopa
Area under the plasma concentration-time profile from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (C last).
Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1
Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F) of L-Dopa
Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired plasma concentration of a drug. Apparent volume of distribution after oral dose (Vz/F) is influenced by the fraction absorbed.
