F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria:
· The patient has any indication of forms of parkinsonism other than idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease.
· The patient is currently experiencing end of dose wearing off or on-off phenomena, disabling peak dose or biphasic dyskinesias, or unpredictable or widely swinging fluctuations.
· The patient has a concomitant disease likely to interfere with the study
· The patient has hypersensitivity or contraindications to MAO-B inhibitors.
· The patient has participated in a previous clinical trial within 30 days of entry into the study (screening visit) or has received treatment with any investigational compound within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening.
· The patient has received treatment of his/her parkinsonian symptoms with a medication, other than a single dopamine agonist, during the 4 weeks preceding the screening visit.
· The patient has received treatment with opioids, SNRIs, tri- or tetra-cyclic antidepressants, MAO inhibitors (e.g. selegiline), meperidine derivatives, oral neuroleptics or any agent known to significantly inhibit or induce drug-metabolizing enzymes within 4 weeks prior to the screening visit.
· The patient has received a depot neuroleptic within one injection cycle.
