April 18 (Reuters) - Cerevel Therapeutics said on Thursday its Parkinson's disease drug met the main goal of a late-stage trial.

The trial was testing the drug tavapadon as an add-on therapy to levadopa, the standard of care for Parkinson's disease.

The results showed that patients using these two drugs had a statistically significant increase in the time in which they had good control over symptoms -- such as uncontrolled, involuntary muscle movement -- than patients given levadopa and a placebo.
