Subject has atypical Parkinson's syndrome(s), including drug-induced Parkinsonian syndrome 4. Subject has dementia, active psychosis or hallucinations (not due to antiparkinsonian medication) 5. Subject is receiving therapy with one of the following drugs either concurrently or within 28 days prior to the baseline visit: alpha-methyl dopa, metoclopramide, reserpine, neuroleptics (including atypical), MAO-A inhibitors, methylphenidate or amphetamine 6. Subject is currently receiving CNS active therapy (e.g. sedatives, hypnotics, anti-depressants, antiolytics) 7. Subject has a history of seizures or stroke within 1 year, has had a TIA within 12 months prior to enrolment, or a history of myocardial infarction within the last 6 months prior to enrolment 8.

Subject has malignant neoplastic disease requiring therapy within 12 months prior to enrolment 15. Subject has a history of chronic alcohol or drug abuse within the last 6 months 16. Subject has clinically significant laboratory results that, in the judgement of the investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for entry into the trial 17. Subject is pregnant or nursing, or is of childbearing potential but (i) not surgically sterile or (ii) not using adequate birth control methods (including at least one barrier method), or (iii) not sexually abstinent or (iv) not at least 2 years postmenopausal 18. Subject has any other clinically significant medical or psychiatric condition that would, in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with the subject's ability to participate in the trial |
