Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective is to demonstrate that the Rotigotine transdermal patch is efficacious in Chinese subjects with early-stage idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study includes a maximum 4-week Screening Period, a maximum 4-week Titration Period for early-stage Parkinson's disease 24-week Maintenance Period, a maximum 6-day De-escalation Period and 30-day Safety Follow-Up Period. The maximum study durations for an individual subject with early-stage Parkinson's disease will be 36 weeks.
