This study will test the safety of twice-daily oral dosing of combined febuxostat and inosine in 24 patients with Parkinson's disease. Participants will receive one of the four regimens, taken twice daily for 12 weeks:
Who can join: Adults with early-stage Parkinson's disease on stable medication regimens.
What participants do:
Risks and benefits: Possible side effects include mild gastrointestinal upset, headache, or elevated uric acid levels. While direct benefit is not guaranteed, this safety data will inform future Parkinson's disease treatments.

Participants are randomized in parallel to one of four dose-combination groups and receive their assigned regimen twice daily for 12 weeks. Dosing is open-label, with febuxostat co-administered with inosine each morning and evening. Safety and pharmacodynamic blood measures are collected at baseline and at weeks 4, 8, and 12.
