A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of ENERGI-F705 Tablets for Parkinson's Disease

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if this study drug, ENERGI-F705 Tablets, is safe and works to treat participants who have Parkinson's disease and are currently on standard-of-care antiparkinsonian medications. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does ENERGI-F705 Tablets work to treat Parkinson's disease when used with standard-of-care treatment?

Investigators will compare the three treatment groups, high-dose ENERGI-F705 Tablets (120 milligrams twice daily), low-dose ENERGI-F705 Tablets (60 milligrams twice daily), and placebo tablets (a look-alike substance that contains no drug), to see if ENERGI-F705 Tablets work to treat Parkinson's disease.

Participants will:

* Take the study drugs twice a day for 72 weeks in the treatment group * Take routine use of standard-of-care antiparkinsonian medications throughout the study * Visit the outpatient department at scheduled visits, ranging from Day 1 to approximately every 1 to 4 weeks thereafter, for checkups and tests

Secondary outcomes

  1. Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III score

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 72

    MDS-UPDRS Part III is a scale used by the investigator to evaluate motor functions of Parkinson's disease. The total score ranges from 0 to 132. The higher score indicates more difficulties with movements.

  2. MDS-UPDRS Part IV score

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 72

    MDS-UPDRS Part IV is a scale used by the investigator to evaluate the motor complications in Parkinson's disease. The total score ranges from 0 to 24 with the higher score indicating greater impact on the daily life due to motor complications.

  3. Sum of MDS-UPDRS Part I score, MDS-UPDRS Part II score and MDS-UPDRS Part III score

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 72

    • MDS-UPDRS Part I is a scale, consisting of Part IA (conducted by healthcare professionals) and Part IB (participant's self-assessment), to assess how non-motor symptoms impact daily living. The total score ranges from 0 to 52. The higher score indicates more non-motor symptoms or greater impact on the activities of daily living due to non-motor symptoms.
    • MDS-UPDRS Part II is a participant's self-assessment to observe how motor symptoms affect your daily living. The total score ranges from 0 to 52. The higher score indicates more motor symptoms or greater impact on the activities of daily living.
    • MDS-UPDRS Part III is a scale used by the investigator to evaluate motor functions of Parkinson's disease. The total score ranges from 0 to 132. The higher score indicates more difficulties with movements.
  4. Proportion of participants with 3-point or more increase in MDS-UPDRS Part III score

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 72

    MDS-UPDRS Part III is a scale used by the investigator to evaluate motor functions of Parkinson's disease. The total score ranges from 0 to 132. The higher score indicates more difficulties with movements.

  5. Time to onset of motor complication

    Time frame: From Day 1 to Week 72

    The motor complication events are collected from the MDS-UPDRS Part IV, a scale to evaluate the motor complication in Parkinson's disease. The total score ranges from 0 to 24 with the higher score indicating greater impact on the daily life due to motor complications.

  6. Non-motor symptoms scale (NMSS) total score

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 72

    NMSS is a scale to assess non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease. It contains 9 subdomains and the total score ranges from 0 to 360. The higher score indicates greater burden of non-motor symptoms.

  7. Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) total score

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 72

    PDQ-39 score is to assess the health-related quality of life with Parkinson's disease. The total score is transformed into a percentage score between 0 to 100 with higher percentage indicating worsen health-related quality of life due to Parkinson's disease.

  8. Modified Hoehn and Yahr stage

    Time frame: Baseline to Week 72

    Modified Hoehn and Yahr stage is a scale to evaluate severity of Parkinson's disease in 8 stages. The staging ranges from Stage 0 (No sings of disease) to Stage 5 (Wheelchair bound or bedridden unless aided).
