0The purpose of this study is to characterize the intestinal flora in subjects with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and to determine safety and trends in improvements in diversity of colonic microbiome following fecal microbiota transplantation.
Thirty eligible subjects with PD will be randomly assigned to receive either PRIM-DJ2727 in orally administered enteric-coated capsules or placebo capsules
Thirty eligible subjects with PD will be randomly assigned to receive placebo capsules
Subjects with PD will be randomly assigned to receive PRIM-DJ2727 in orally administered enteric-coated capsules
Thirty eligible subjects with PD will be randomly assigned to receive placebo capsules
