Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1) Male or female ≥ 18 years of age. 2) Clinical diagnosis of Idiopathic PD, consistent with UK Brain Bank Criteria (excluding the "more than one affected relative" criterion).
  • Clinically meaningful response to Levodopa (L-Dopa). Subjects with or without well defined "OFF" episodes, as determined by the Investigator will be allowed.
  • Receiving stable doses of L-Dopa/carbidopa (immediate or sustained release) administered at least 3 times per day OR Rytary™ administered 3 times per day, for at least 4 weeks before the initial Screening Visit (SV1). Subjects receiving L-Dopa/carbidopa 3 times a day must also be on stable treatment with adjunctive PD medication regimens. These regimens bust me maintained at a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to the initial Screening Visit (SV1) with the exception that MAO-B inhibitors must be maintained at a stable level for at least 8 weeks prior to the initial Screening Visit (SV1).
  • No planned medication change(s) or surgical intervention anticipated during the course of study.
  • the subject must be able to have a drug withdrawal induced "OFF" episode.
  • Stage III or less on the modified Hoehn and Yahr scale in the "ON" state.
  • Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score > 21.
  • If female and of childbearing potential, must agree to use one of the following methods of birth control throughout the study and until at least 30 days after final drug administration:
  • Oral contraceptive
  • Contraceptive patch
  • Barrier (diaphragm, sponge or condom) plus spermicidal preparations
  • Intrauterine contraceptive system
  • Levonorgestrel implant
  • Medroxyprogesterone acetate contraceptive injection
  • Complete abstinence from sexual intercourse;
  • Hormonal vaginal contraceptive ring; or
  • Surgical sterilization or partner sterile (must have documented proof).

10)Male subjects must be either surgically sterile, agree to be sexually abstinent or use a barrier method of birth control (e.g., condom) from first study drug administration until at least 30 days after final drug administration

11)Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study-related procedures to complete the study.

12)Able to understand the consent form, and to provide written informed consent.

13)Must be approved as a satisfactory candidate by the Enrollment Authorization Committee (EAC) and the Sponsor.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Atypical or secondary parkinsonism
  • Nausea associated with the use of dopamine agonists that requires treatment with an antiemetic.
  • Previous treatment with any of the following: a neurosurgical procedure for PD; continuous subcutaneous (s.c.) apomorphine infusion; or Duodopa/Duopa.
  • Treatment with any form of s.c. apomorphine within 7 days prior to the initial Screening Visit (SV1). Subjects that stopped s.c. apomorphine for any reason other than systemic safety concerns or lack of efficacy may be considered.
  • Contraindications to moxifloxacin or APOKYN®, or hypersensitivity to apomorphine hydrochloride or any macrolide antibiotic or any of the ingredients of APOKYN® (notably sodium metabisulfite).
  • Female who is pregnant or lactating.
  • Participation in a clinical trial within 30 days prior to the initial Screening Visit (SV1), with the exception of clinical studies related to APL-13077.
  • Receipt of any investigational (i.e., unapproved) medication within 30 days prior to the initial Screening Visit (SV1), with the exception of APL-13077.
  • Any selective 5HT3 antagonists (i.e., ondansetron, granisetron, dolasetron, palonosetron, alosetron), dopamine antagonists (including Tigan [trimethobenzamide] and domperidone, but excluding quetiapine or clozapine) or dopamine depleting agents within 30 days prior to initial Screening Visit (SV1).
  • Drug or alcohol dependency in the past 12 months.
  • Subject has a history of malignancy within 5 years prior to SV1, except for adequately treated basal cell or squam
