Measure
Subjects With Parkinson's Disease (PD)
Subjects with Parkinson's Disease (PD) were orally administered Mirapex LA: Pramipexole Hydrochloride Hydrate tablets with starting dose of 0.375 once daily after meal and increased by 0.75 mg/day at week 2. The daily may be increased by 0.75 mg/day at weekly intervals up to maintenance dose (standard dose: 1.5 to 4.5mg/day). subjects with renal impairment were administered with the starting dose of 0.375 every other day for the first week, if necessary the dose may be increased by 0.375mg every week but not exceeding the daily dose of 2.25mg.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and week 52

Population: Efficacy set

Change from baseline at the last observation in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III total score. UPDRS Part III (motor examination) measures the extent of physical impairment displayed by the patient. This evaluation consists of 14 separate components of patient's physical status. The UPDRS part III score is the sum of the 14 individual components. The UPDRS Part III total score ranges from 0 to 108.A reduction in UPDRS part III score over time corresponds to an improvement in motor activities. The following are the 14 separate components:1. Speech 2. Facial expression 3. Tremor at rest 4. Action or postural tremor of hands 5. Rigidity 6. Finger taps 7. Hand movements 8. Rapid alternating movements of hands 9. Leg agility 10. Arising from chair 11. Posture 12. Gait 13. Postural stability 14. Body bradykinesia and hypokinesia.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and week 52

Population: Efficacy set

Change from baseline at the last observation in the modified Hoehn and Yahr stage. Stages of the Parkinson's disease will be assessed on an 8-degree scale between stage 0 (no sign of the disease) and 5 (wheelchair bound or bedridden unless aided) in steps of 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4 and 5. A reduction in the score over time represents an improvement.

Population: Patients in safety set and with concomitant L-DOPA.

Number of patients with onset or offset of on-off phenomenon in patients with concomitant levodopa (L-DOPA). On-off phenomenon is the unpredictable shift from mobility - "on" - to a sudden inability to move - "off".

Timeframe: Week 52

Population: Patients in safety set and with concomitant L-DOPA

Number of patients with onset or offset of wearing-off phenomena in patients with concomitant levodopa (L-DOPA). Wearing-off is when Parkinson's symptoms begin to reappear or become noticeably worse before it is time to take the next scheduled dose of medication.
