Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- 96 patients with clinically diagnosed PD. For the PD diagnosis, we will use the
University of Kentucky PD brain bank diagnostic criteria implemented by a movement
disorders trained neurologist. Only early stage PD within 5 years of diagnosis who
have never taken rasagiline will be included. 5 years since diagnosis was chosen to
focus on early stages of PD, where MAO-B inhibitors have shown the most promise. PD
are eligible to participate if they are age 40-77, Hoehn and Yahr stage < or equal to
2 when on medication, and able and willing to sign informed consent to be randomized
to the placebo or active drug arm.

Exclusion Criteria:

- As necessitated by the risks of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, patients who have any type
of implanted electrical device (such as a cardiac pacemaker or a neurostimulator), or
a certain type of metallic clip in their body (i.e., an aneurysm clip in the brain),
are not eligible for participation in the MRI portion of the study.

- Individuals who are claustrophobic will also be excluded from participation.

- Women who are or might be pregnant and nursing mothers are not eligible. Pregnancy
tests will be carried out for each female subject prior to the MRI scan.

- Individuals with psychiatric disorders or dementia will be excluded, along with other
neurologic and orthopedic problems that impair hand movements and walking.

- Individuals who have a history metalworking involving cutting processes such as
grinding, filing, shaving, and threading, will need radiological clearance to
participate in this study. Specifically, individuals who report a history of
metalworking will be referred to Radiology at Shands University of Florida(UF) for an
orbitofrontal x-ray. In addition, individuals who have sustained an eye injury
involving metal will also be referred to Radiology at Shands UF for an orbitofrontal
x-ray. Shands at UF will provide a written report stating whether the individual is
safe for imaging at 3 Tesla. All expenses related to this procedure will be covered by
the PI.

- Patients with a prior stroke or brain tumor are excluded. Patients will be excluded if
they are unwilling to comply with the study procedures.
