Measure
Early Pramipexole
Patients initially randomized to pramipexole were up-titrated from 0.375 mg pramipexole daily to 0.75 mg pramipexole daily and then to 1.5 mg pramipexole daily over a 6 week period, and then 1.5 mg pramipexole daily was continued for the remainder of the 15 months of the study.
Delayed Pramipexole
Patients initially randomized to placebo, received placebo for 6-9 months, then up-titrated from 0.375 mg pramipexole daily to 1.5 mg pramipexole daily over a 6 week period. These patients were then continued on 1.5 mg pramipexole daily for the remainder of the 15 months of the study.

Population: The FAS2 was made up of all treated participants with a baseline and on-treatment blinded rater assessment of the UPDRS during Phase 2 of the trial. 27 patients from the FAS2 were excluded due to insufficient CGI-I data.

The CGI-I measures the overall improvement in the participants condition from baseline on an ordinal scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Responders are defined as those patients with a CGI-I of 1 or 2.
