Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

30 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Diary-Based On-Time Without Dyskinesia at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12
On-time without dyskinesia was defined as a period (in hours) when the participant had no symptoms of off-time and was not asleep; also, participant had no difficulty in performing voluntary movements (that is, without dyskinesia). Off-time was defined as a period (in hours) when participant experienced increased parkinsonian symptoms (e.g. immobility or inability to move with ease). On-time was recorded by participant in a participant diary.
Baseline, Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Modified Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) Score at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12
Modified AIMS was a 7-item investigator-assessed scale to assess severity of dyskinesia. Each item was rated on a 0 (none) to 4 (severe) scale. Modified AIMS score was sum of the all item scores and ranged from 0 to 28, where higher score indicated increased severity. Modified AIMS score in resting state as well as with activity is reported.
Baseline, Week 12
Change From Baseline in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Items 32 and 33 Composite Score at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12
The UPDRS was an investigator-assessed rating tool to follow the longitudinal course of Parkinson's disease. Items 32 and 33 assessed duration of dyskinesia and disability due to dyskinesia, respectively. Both items were rated on a 0 to 4-point scale, where higher scores indicated higher duration of dyskinesia and more disability due to dyskinesia, respectively. The Items 32 and 33 composite score was sum of the individual item scores and ranged from 0 to 8, where higher score indicated more complications due to dyskinesia.
Baseline, Week 12
Change From Baseline in UPDRS Part III Total Score at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12
The UPDRS was an investigator-assessed rating tool to follow the longitudinal course of Parkinson's disease. UPDRS Part III total score was the sum of the 27 answers (rated on 0 to 4-point scale) related to motor examination, and ranged from 0-108. Higher scores indicated worse motor function. Change from baseline in UPDRS Part III total score, assessed during on-time (time when the participant has no parkinsonian symptoms) as well as off-time (time when the patient experiences increased parkinsonian symptoms), is reported.
Baseline, Week 12

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
