Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Open-label Continuation Study Evaluating the Long-term Safety of Extended Release Ropinirole XL (Formerly CR) in Parkinson''s Disease (NCT NCT00632736)

NCT ID: NCT00632736

Last Updated: 2017-03-23

Results Overview

AEs, defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, were collected to obtain data on the safety, tolerability, and benefit of ropinirole XL. SAEs, defined as AEs that are fatal, life threatening, disabling/incapacitating, resulting in hospitalization or prolongation of a hospital stay, a congenital abnormality/birth defect, or any important medical occurrence that the investigator regards as serious based on medical judgment, were also collected. st. med., study medication.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 4 and Week 26

Population: All participants enrolled into this study from parent study 101468/168 who received at least one dose of study medication. Only 74 participants completed this questionnaire at Week 4, whereas 87 participants completed this questionnaire at Week 26.

The patient preference question assessed the participant's preference for either dosing regimen of study drug, once a day versus three times a day. Participants were asked to respond to the following question to assess preference: "Please indicate whether you preferred taking your Parkinson's tablets 3 times a day or once a day." Wk, Week.
