• The subject has a positive test for drugs of abuse at screening or before administration of the first dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) that the investigator judges as clinically relevant. A positive test for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is exclusionary. A positive test for cannabinoids (not containing THC) is not exclusionary if the subject is a recreational user (not an abuser) of cannabinoids, in the opinion of the investigator, and agrees to abstain from using cannabinoids within 12 hours before study visits. A positive drug screen that is attributed to an allowed prescription drug is not exclusionary but should be agreed with the medical monitor.
• The subject is using a strong inhibitors and inducers CYP3A4 at the time of screening for Part B (Double-Blind Treatment).
• The subject has used any of the following medications within 60 days before Baseline: typical or atypical antipsychotics (including, but not limited to, clozapine, pimavanserin, olanzapine, risperidone, and aripiprazole), metoclopramide, prochlorperazine, methyldopa, tetrabenazine, deutetrabenazine, valbenazine, or reserpine.
• The subject has received a vaccination within 14 days before administration of the first dose of IMP.
• The subject has a prior history of or there is a plan to conduct deep brain stimulation (DBS), lesional procedures, (i.e., thalamotomy), or focused ultrasound; to initiate gene therapy treatment for PD; or to initiate use of any formulation of intestinal infusion or continuous subcutaneous infusion of PD medications.
• The subject is currently participating in or has participated in an investigational drug study within 3 months or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer; in a therapeutic device study within 3 months before the first dose of IMP; or has previously participated in a gene therapy trial. Concurrent participation in an observational study is acceptable.
• The subject had a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) test (any type) result within the 30 days before signing informed consent for Part B (Double-Blind Treatment) or has 2 or more current symptoms (e.g., sore throat, cough, fever) at the same time that are consistent with the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection (not tested) in the opinion of the investigator.
• The subject has a clinical history that is consistent with a previous COVID-19 infection and has not recovered fully, maintaining nonspecific symptoms like, for example, fatigue, shortness of breath, difficulty concentrating, sleep disorders, fever, anxiety, and depression.
• The subject has previously received BIA 28-6156 or has a known allergy or hypersensitivity to BIA 28-6156 or any components of the formulation.

Más betegség

• The subject has Gaucher's disease (GD), as defined by clinical signs and symptoms (i.e., hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenia, skeletal disease), and/or a medical history of marked deficiency of GCase activity compatible with GD.
• The subject has atypical or secondary parkinsonism by medical history or in the opinion of the investigator. Atypical parkinsonism includes, but is not limited to, diagnoses of progressive supranuclear palsy, cortico-basal syndrome, and multiple system atrophy. Secondary parkinsonism includes drug-induced, toxin-induced, postinfectious, posttraumatic, or vascular parkinsonism.
• The subject is using a breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) substrate (e.g., pravastatin, rosuvastatin, glyburide) at the time of screening for Part B (Double-Blind Treatment).
• The subject has a positive test result for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody (anti-HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) or 2 (HIV-2) at screening. If reflex testing for hepatitis B or HCV DNA is negative, the subject may be eligible for the study.

Laborértékek

• The subject has any active or chronic disease or condition other than PD that could interfere with, or for which the treatment might interfere with, the conduct of the study or pose an unacceptable risk to the subject in the opinion of the investigator based on medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, or clinical laboratory tests. Minor deviations of laboratory values from the normal range may be acceptable if judged by the investigator to have no/minor clinical relevance.
• The subject has renal insufficiency as defined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of <60 mL/min at screening.
• The subject has cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A, B, or C) or any of the following laboratory values at screening: serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or bilirubin >2 × ULN except if the subject has known or suspected Gilbert's disease.
• The subject has a QT interval corrected for heart rate by Fridericia's method (QTcF) value >450 msec if male or >470 msec if female at screening.
