Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Maximal Change in UPDRS Part III From Predose to Postdose on Day 1
From pre-dose to 8 hours post-dose on Day 1

UPDRS = Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III is a 14-item rating scale, which consists of the motor examination. Each item is scored from 0 (Normal) to 4 (Most severe). The score ranges from 0-56.

Change in Investigator-administered MADRS Total Score From Baseline BTRX-246040 and Placebo
Week 8

The Investigator-administered MADRS includes 10 items assessing the following symptoms: apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Each item is scored from 0 (absence of symptom) to 6 (severe symptom); the overall score ranges from 0 to 60. MADRS total scores from 0 to 6 indicate normal/symptom absent, from 7 to 19 indicate mild depression, from 20 to 34 indicate moderate depression, and from 35 to 60 indicate severe depression.
