ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryInternational Restless Legs Syndrome (IRLS) Rating Scale Total Score at Week 0 and Week 12Week 0 and Week 12
The IRLS rating scale is an investigator-rated scale consisting of 10 questions with a choice of 5 responses each. These responses are numerically scored from 0 (the least severe response) to 4 (the most severe response). The IRLS rating scale total score is calculated by summing the individual response scores. The highest possible score is 40, which represents the most severe RLS; the lowest possible score is 0, which represents an absence of RLS. A total of 17 participants were prematurely withdrawn from the study before Week 12.
PrimaryIRLS Rating Scale Total Score for Participants Who Withdrew From the Double-Blind Treatment Period (DBT WD)DBT WD (up to Week 12)
The IRLS rating scale is an investigator-rated scale consisting of 10 questions with a choice of 5 responses each. These responses are numerically scored from 0 (the least severe response) to 4 (the most severe response). The IRLS rating scale total score is calculated by summing the individual response scores. The highest possible score is 40, which represents the most severe RLS; the lowest possible score is 0, which represents an absence of RLS. A total of 17 participants were prematurely withdrawn from the study before Week 12, and 2 participants had missing DBT WD data.
SecondaryIRLS Rating Scale Total Score for Participants Who Withdrew in the Long-term Treatment Period (LONG WD)LONG WD (up to Week 64)
The IRLS rating scale is an investigator-rated scale consisting of 10 questions with a choice of 5 responses each. These responses are numerically scored from 0 (the least severe response) to 4 (the most severe response). The IRLS rating scale total score is calculated by summing the individual response scores. The highest possible score is 40, which represents the most severe RLS; the lowest possible score is 0, which represents an absence of RLS.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With the Indicated Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) Scores at Week 12Week 12
The CGI-I assesses the participant's improvement or worsening of RLS from baseline with the following eight grades: 0 = Not Assessed, 1 = Very Much Improved, 2 = Much Improved, 3 = Minimally Improved, 4 = No Change, 5 = Minimally Worse, 6 = Much Worse, and 7 = Very Much Worse.

SecondaryJohns Hopkins Restless Legs Syndrome Quality of Life (RLSQOL) Questionnaire Overall Life Impact Score at Week 0 and Week 12Week 0 and Week 12
The RLSQOL questionnaire is a participant-rated questionnaire designed to assess the impact of RLS on the lives of participants. It consists of 18 items, 10 of which contribute to a single summary score (overall life impact). The response for each item is coded from 1 to 5, with 1 representing the best quality of life and 5 representing the worst quality of life. The lowest possible overall life impact score is 0, and the highest possible overall life impact score is 100. The score of 100 represents the best possible quality of life.

SecondaryThe Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Total Score at Week 0 and Week 12Week 0 and Week 12
The PSQI consists of the following 7 domains: sleep quality, duration getting to sleep, sleep duration, sleep adequacy, sleep disturbance, use of sleeping pill, and somnolence. These domains are numerically scored from 0 to 3, with 0 representing the least severe response and 3 representing the most severe response. The PSQI total score is calculated by summing the individual domain scores. The highest possible score is 21, which represents the most disturbances in sleep quality; the lowest possible score is 0, which represents an absence of disturbances in sleep quality.
