Patients treated with an "optimized" stable dopaminergic medication regimen (dopamine agonist and/or L-dopa and/or MAOB inhibitor) for at least 1 month before baseline.
Patients expected to remain on stable doses of antiparkinsonian medications for at least the first 6 months of the study and preferably for the 12 months of follow-up.
