A study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SEP-363856 in subjects with Parkinson's Disease Psychosis. This study is accepting male and female participants 55 years of age and older who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. This study will be conducted in 24 study centers in the United States. The study will last approximately 21 weeks.
This is a multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of double-blind SEP-363856 flexibly dosed at 25, 50, or 75 mg/day for 6 weeks followed by 12 weeks of open-label extension of SEP-363856 flexibly-dosed at 25, 50, or 75 mg/day in male and female subjects ≥ 55 years of age with a clinical diagnosis of PDP. The study will randomize approximately 36 subjects to 2 treatment groups in a 2:1 ratio (approximately 24 subjects to SEP-363856 and 12 to placebo). The study will consist of 4 periods: Screening/Washout Period (up to 14 days prior to Double-blind Treatment), Double-blind Treatment Period (6 weeks), Open-label SEP-363856 Treatment Period (12 weeks), and Follow-up Period (1 week after last dose) as shown in the following figure. All postBaseline clinic visits will have a window of ± 2 days relative to the date of the Baseline visit (Visit 3).

Change From Double Blind (DB) Baseline in Total Scale for Assessment of Positive Symptoms - Parkinson's Disease ( SAPS-PD) Score at Week 6
There are seven items assessing individual symptoms (four items for hallucinations and three items for delusions), a global hallucinations item and a global delusions item. Separate items are rated from 0 (absent) to 5 (severe), so that higher values represent a worse outcome. Total score is equal to the sum of the seven items plus the global hallucinations, plus the global delusions. Therefore a total possible score on the SAPS-PD ranges from 0 to 45. The primary analysis of the primary efficacy variable will use a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM).
Time frame: SAPS-PD assessments during DB treatment period, Baseline and Week 6
Change From Double Blind (DB) Baseline in the Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-S) at Week 6.
The CGI-S score is a single value, clinician-rated assessment of illness severity and ranges from 1= 'Normal, not at all ill' to 7= 'Among the most extremely ill patients'. A higher score is associated with greater illness severity. Analysis Method: Mixed Model Repeated Measures (MMRM)
Time frame: CGI-S assessments during DB treatment period, Baseline and Week 6
Change From Double Blind (DB) Baseline in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) at Week 6
The NPI is a 12-item behavior rating scale composed of a structured interview of the caregiver, which assesses psychiatric disturbance. For each subdomain, both the frequency (0 to 3 scale) and the severity (0 to 4 scale) of symptoms is determined. Higher scores represent a worse outcome. The subdomain score is the product of these two measures and ranges from 0 to 12. The combined NPI score is obtained by summing all 12 sub-domain scores and therefore ranges from 0 to 144. Analysis Method: Mixed Model Repeated Measures (MMRM)
Time frame: NPI assessments during DB treatment period, Baseline and Week 6

The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) for Cognition is a brief instrument, used to assess cognitive function, consisting of 11 tests including orientation, memory (recent and immediate), concentration, language, and praxis. Scores range from 0 to 30, with lower scores indicating greater cognitive impairment. MMSE, the total score is the sum of all 11 tests. Analysis Method: Mixed Model Repeated Measures (MMRM)
Time frame: MMSE assessments during DB treatment period, Baseline and Week 6
