Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
• Cohort 1: RTB101 300 mg capsule given orally once per week for up to 4 weeks.
• Cohort 2: Sirolimus 2 mg tablet given orally once per week for up to 4 weeks.
• Cohort 3: RTB101 300 mg capsule + sirolimus 2 mg tablet given orally once per week for up to 4 weeks.
• Cohort 4: RTB101 300 mg capsule + sirolimus 4 mg tablet given orally once per week for up to 4 weeks.
• Cohort 5: RTB101 300 mg capsule + sirolimus 6 mg tablet given orally once per week for up to 4 weeks.

Compliance will be assessed by the investigator and/or study personnel at each visit by having patients bring remaining study drug to each visit. The site staff will count the remaining number of capsules and/or tablets and record this information in the CRF.

Cohorts 1 and 2 may be enrolled in parallel, and dose escalation Cohorts 3-5 will enroll sequentially.

Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria

prednisone >10 mg daily.
- Patients with active or chronic infection other than fungal skin or nail infection or local herpes simplex infection.

-Patients with significant uncontrolled hypercholesterolemia
-History of malignancy in any organ system, treated or untreated, within the past 3 years, regardless if there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases, except for localized basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. History of malignancy in any organ system, treated or untreated, within the past 3 years, regardless if there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases, except for:

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if up to 4 weeks of once weekly oral dosing of RTB101 and sirolimus given alone or in combination is safe, tolerable and achieves potentially therapeutic exposures in the CNS (central nervous system) of patients with mild (modified Hoehn and Yahr [mH&Y] stage less than or equal to 2) Parkinson’s disease (PD)
