ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryAbsolute Change in Absolute Time Spent 'Off' From Baseline to the End of Double-blind Maintenance PeriodFrom Baseline (Week 0) to end of Maintenance Period (up to Week 12)A subject has been considered "off" when he/she began to lose the optimum effects of anti-Parkinson's medication. A negative mean indicates a reduction of the time off during the conduct of the study
SecondaryPercentage of Responders From Baseline to the End of the Doubleblind Maintenance PeriodFrom Baseline (Week 0) to end of Maintenance Period (up to Week 12)A Responder is defined as a subject with an ≥ 30 % decrease in absolute time spent 'off'
SecondaryPercent Change in Absolute Time Spent "Off" From Baseline to the End of Double-blind Maintenance PeriodFrom Baseline (Week 0) to end of Maintenance Period (up to Week 12)
A subject has been considered "off" when he/she began to lose the optimum effects of anti-Parkinson's medication. Absolute time "off" is defined as the mean number of hours marked "off" during a 24-hour period from all valid daily diary cards.
SecondaryPercent Change in Relative Time Spent "Off" From Baseline to the End of Double-blind Maintenance PeriodFrom Baseline (Week 0) to end of Maintenance Period (up to Week 12)
A subject has been considered "off" when he/she began to lose the optimum effects of anti-Parkinson's medication. Relative time spent "off" will be calculated in two stages. Each valid daily diary will have an associated relative time "off" calculated as relative time "off" for day = 100\*\[total absolute time "off" for day/ absolute time awake for day\]. Relative time spent "off" is then calculated by averaging the daily relative time "off" for the valid days of that visit.
SecondaryChange in Absolute Time Spent "on" From Baseline to the End of Double-blind Maintenance PeriodFrom Baseline (Week 0) to end of Maintenance Period (up to Week 12)
A subject has been considered "on" when he/she felt the effects of L-dopa. The subject recorded the exact time of L-dopa intake and his/her status at the time of the L-dopa dose. In instances when the subject was 'off' when taking his/her L-dopa, he/she recorded the exact time their status changed to 'on'. Absolute time "on" is defined as the mean number of hours marked "on" during a 24-hour period from all valid daily diary cards.
SecondaryChange in Relative Time Spent "on" From Baseline to the End of Double-blind Maintenance PeriodFrom Baseline (Week 0) to end of Maintenance Period (up to Week 12)
A subject has been considered "on" when he/she felt the effects of L-dopa. The subject recorded the exact time of L-dopa intake and his/her status at the time of the L-dopa dose. In instances when the subject was "off" when taking his/her L-dopa, he/she recorded the exact time their status changed to "on". Relative time spent "on" will be calculated in two stages. Each valid daily diary will have an associated relative time "on" calculated as relative time "on" for day = 100\*\[total absolute time "on" for day/ absolute time awake for day\]. Relative time spent "on" is then calculated by averaging the daily relative time "on" for the valid days of that visit.
SecondaryPercent Change in Absolute Time Spent "on" From Baseline to the End of Double-blind Maintenance PeriodFrom Baseline (Week 0) to end of Maintenance Period (up to Week 12)
A subject has been considered "on" when he/she felt the effects of L-dopa. The subject recorded the exact time of L-dopa intake and his/her status at the time of the L-dopa dose. In instances when the subject was 'off' when taking his/her L-dopa, he/she recorded the exact time their status changed to 'on'. Note for percent change calculations: when absolute time at Baseline was 0 hours, the absolute Baseline value was assumed to be 1 minute for calculation purposes.
SecondaryPercent Change in Relative Time Spent "on" From Baseline to the End of Double-blind Maintenance PeriodFrom Baseline (Week 0) to end of Maintenance Period (up to Week 12)
A subject has been considered "on" when he/she felt the effects of L-dopa. The subject recorded the exact time of L-dopa intake and his/her status at the time of the L-dopa dose. In instances when the subject was "off" when taking his/her L-dopa, he/she recorded the exact time their status changed to "on". Note for percent change calculations: when relative time at Baseline was 0%, the relative Baseline value was assumed to be 0.1 for calculation purposes. Relative time spent "on" will be calculated in two stages. Each valid daily diary will have an associated relative time "on" calculated as relative time "on" for day = 100\*\[total absolute time "on" for day/ absolute time awake for day\]. Relative time spent "on" is then calculated by averaging the daily relative time "on" for the valid days of that visit.
SecondaryChange in the Number of "Off" Periods From Baseline to the End of Double-blind Maintenance PeriodFrom Baseline (Week 0) to end of Maintenance Period (up to Week 12)A subject has been considered "off" when he/she began to lose the optimum effects of anti-Parkinson's medication.
SecondaryChange in Status of the Subject (on) After Wake-up With Troublesome Dyskinesia From Baseline to the End of Double-blind Maintenance PeriodFrom Baseline (Week 0) to end of Maintenance Period (up to Week 12)
A subject has been considered "on" when he/she felt the effects of L-dopa. The subject recorded the exact time of L-dopa intake and his/her status at the time of the L-dopa dose. In instances when the subject was 'off' when taking his/her L-dopa, he/she recorded the exact time their status changed to 'on'. The percentage of days from Baseline to the end of the double-blind Maintenance Period in which the subject woke in the "on with troublesome dyskinesia" state is presented below.
