Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the PK of AP-CD/LD given at dose of 50/500mg three times daily compared to CD/LD immediate release (Sinemet) 1.5 tablets of dose of 25/100 given 5 times per day in Parkinson's Disease patients.

- significant cognitive impairment
- Clinically significant psychiatric illness in opinion of PI
- history of small bowel or gastric surgery (including PEG-J placement for Duopa/Duodopa) or bowel obstruction, diagnosis of small bowel narrowing, diagnosis of Crohn's disease, frequent nausea or emesis regardless of etiology, and symptomatic gastroparesis.
- History of GI pathology of clinical significance as determined by PI
- Allergy to study drug or Yellow Dye #5 (tartrazine)
- Unable to swallow large pills
- Active GERD and regular use of PPIs
