Trial Outcomes & Findings for Long-term Safety Study of Open-label Pramipexole Extended Release (ER) in Patients With Early Parkinson´s Disease (PD). (NCT NCT00601523)

NCT ID: NCT00601523

Last Updated: 2014-06-09

Results Overview

The aim of this study was to obtain long-term safety and tolerability data on pramipexole ER, in patients who have previously completed a pramipexole double blind study in early PD (248.524 (NCT00479401) or 248.636 (NCT00558025)). Therefore these items were considered as a safety evaluation
