Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange From Baseline in International Restless Legs Syndrome Rating Scale (IRLS) Score at Week 12Baseline and week 12
The IRLS consisted of 10-item scale for assessing severity of restless legs syndrome (RLS) with each item ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (very severe symptoms). The total IRLS score ranges from 0 to 40. Higher IRLS score indicated greater disease activity. Mixed Model of Repeated Measurements (MMRM) model with compound symmetry as a covariance structure was used. The explanatory variables of the model included treatment group, IRLS score at baseline, age category, estimated creatinine clearance category, time point, and interaction of treatment group and time point.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in IRLS Score at Each Time PointBaseline and weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and EoT (week 12)ANCOVA model with the baseline value as a covariate was used.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With an Investigator-rated Clinical Global Impression (ICGI) ResponseEoT (week 12)ICGI was assessed by 7-point ordinate scale. Participants who were "Very much improved" or "Much improved" were defined as responders.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With a Patient-rated Clinical Global Impression (PCGI) ResponseEoT (week 12)PCGI was assessed by 7-point ordinate scale. Participants who were "Very much improved" or "Much improved" were defined as responders.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Total Score (PSQI)Baseline and EoT (week 12)
The self-rated items of the PSQI generate seven component scores (range of subscale scores, 0-3). The sum of these seven component scores yielded one global score of subjective sleep quality (range, 0-21). Higher scores represent poorer subjective sleep. ANCOVA model with the baseline value as a covariate was used.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Athens Insomnia ScaleBaseline and EoT (week 12)
Athens Insomnia Scale consisted of 8-item scale (range of subscale scores, 0-3). The scale range of Athens Insomnia was 0-24. Higher scores represent poorer sleep quality. ANCOVA model with the baseline value as a covariate was used.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Pain ScoreBaseline and EoT (week 12)The scale range of RLS pain score was 0-10. Higher scores represent greater RLS pain intensity. ANCOVA model with the baseline value as a covariate was used.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Health Status Score of EuroQol-5 Dimension-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L)Baseline and EoT (week 12)Health status was assessed by general visual analog scale (VAS). The VAS ranges from 0 (worst health status) and 100 (best health status).
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Adverse EventsFrom first dose of study drug up to week 13
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) was defined as an adverse event (AE) with onset after the start of the run-in period. A drug-related TEAE was a TEAE with at least a possible relationship to the study drug as assessed by the investigator. Serious TEAE was an AE considered serious.
