Brief summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the long term safety of SCH 420814 (preladenant) in participants with moderate to severe Parkinson's Disease who are taking an L-Dopa/dopa decarboxylase inhibitor and/or dopamine agonist. All participants must have participated in the main study (P04501; NCT00406029) entitled "A Phase 2, 12 Week, Double Blind, Dose Finding, Placebo Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of a Range of SCH 420814 Doses in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Parkinson's Disease Experiencing Motor Fluctuations and Dyskinesias."

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Preladenant 5 mg twice daily (BID) given open-label for 36 weeks to participants with moderate to severe Parkinson's Disease who are on a long-term and stable L-dopa treatment regimen.

Interventions: intervention 1: Preladenant intervention 2: L-dopa intervention 3: Other Parkinson's Disease treatments
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: 5 mg BID capsules intervention 2: Participants must receive L-dopa as part of their usual ongoing treatment for Parkinson's Disease. L-dopa is often administered concomitantly with a dopa decarboxylase inhibitor (e.g., carbidopa). intervention 3: Participants may also receive other drugs as part of their usual ongoing treatment for Parkinson's Disease, such as dopamine agonists (e.g., pramipexole) and/or the catechol-O methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitor entacapone.
