What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

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

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
