Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Ropinirole PR/XR

Drug: Ropinirole prolonged release/extended release(PR/XR)
Subjects will take the investigational drug once daily at the same time each day, it is recommended that this is in the morning for optimal benefit. Investigational drug is taken for 52 weeks, starting on the next day of the Week 0 visit. One tablet of ropinirole PR/XR 2 mg tablets will be orally dosed as the initial dose. The dose will be titrated weekly by 2 mg/day, and increased to 8 mg/day in Week 4. From Week 5 up to 16, the dose will be increased at minimum intervals of one week between titration steps until sufficient efficacy is obtained, according to individual clinical response and tolerability (the dose may be titrated up to 16 mg/day). In Week 16 and further, treatment dose at Week 16 will be continuously administered up to Week 52. If insufficient efficacy is judged in a subject during treatment, or unable to maintain the dose due to adverse event, the treatment dose may be changed. The dose is down tapered according to the maintenance dose at Week 52 (or withdrawal).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Food Effects on Cmax and Cmin of SKF101468 (Ropinirole) and Its Metabolites [Weeks 5-16]

    The dose of SKF101468 and its metabolites was normalized to 1 mg. Blood sampling at steady state up to 24 hours post dose after receiving the maintenance dose was conducted. In order to investigate the effect of a meal on pharmacokinetics, blood was sampled twice (after a standard morning meal and at fasted state) from identical participants. Cmax: maximum concentration, Cmin: trough plasma concentration.

  2. Food Effects on AUC0-24 of SKF101468 (Ropinirole) and Its Metabolites [Weeks 5-16]

    The dose of SKF101468 and its metabolites was normalized to 1 mg. Blood sampling at steady state up to 24 hours (hr) post dose after receiving the maintenance dose was conducted. In order to investigate the effect of a meal on pharmacokinetics, blood was sampled twice (after a standard morning meal and at fasted state) from identical participants. AUC0-24: area under the drug concentration 24 hr curve.

  3. Food Effects on Tmax of SKF101468 (Ropinirole) and Its Metabolites [Weeks 5-16]

    The dose of SKF101468 and its metabolites was normalized to 1 mg. Blood sampling at steady state up to 24 hours post dose after receiving the maintenance dose was conducted. In order to investigate the effect of a meal on pharmacokinetics, blood was sampled twice (after a standard morning meal and at fasted state) from identical participants. Tmax: time of maximum concentration. Data are presented as the median difference between fed and fasted states for ropinirole and each metabolite.

  4. Plasma Trough Concentrations of SKF101468 (Ropinirole) and Its Metabolites [Weeks 1-16]

    Blood sampling in the fixed titration phase will be performed at 24 hour post dose of the last dose of 2, 4, and 8 mg (immediately before the morning dose). Blood sampling in the maintenance dose phase will be performed at 24 hour post dose of 10 mg or more for one week or longer (immediately before the morning dose), as sampling needs to be conducted at steady state.

Title Percentage of Responders of the Total Score in the Japanese UPDRS Total Score in Part III
Description A responder is defined as a participant with a 30% or more reduction at baseline. The UPDRS assesses the status of PD patients objectively. The Japanese UPDRS Part III assesses motor examination on 27 items. Participants receive a score of 0-4 points per each item. The maximum total score is 108 points. A higher score indicates more severe PD symptoms.

Description The dose of SKF101468 and its metabolites was normalized to 1 mg. Blood sampling at steady state up to 24 hours (hr) post dose after receiving the maintenance dose was conducted. In order to investigate the effect of a meal on pharmacokinetics, blood was sampled twice (after a standard morning meal and at fasted state) from identical participants.

15. Secondary Outcome
Title Total Score in the Japanese UPDRS Part IV
Description The UPDRS assesses the status of PD patients objectively. The Japanese UPDRS Part IV assesses complications of therapy on 11 items. Participants receive a score of 0-4 or 0-1 points per each item depending on the item. The maximum total score is 23 points. A higher score indicates more severe symptoms of complications.

Arm/Group Title Ropinirole PR/XR
Arm/Group Description Treatment Phase: Fixed titration phase (4 weeks): one tablet of ropinirole PR/XR 2 milligrams (mg) as the initial dose. The dose was titrated weekly by 2 mg/day and was increased to 8 mg/day in Week 4; Flexible titration and maintenance dose phases (48 weeks): from Week 5 up to Week 16, the dose was increased at minimum intervals of 1 week between titration steps (up to 16 mg/day). From Week 16 onward, treatment dose was continuously administered up to Week 52. Taper phase: the dose was tapered over 2 to 3 weeks according to the maintenance dose at completion of the Treatment Phase (or withdrawal)

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Safety Population: all participants who received at least one dose of study medication. Week 16 (Last observation carried forward [LOCF]) = 62 participants; Week 52 (Observed case [OC]) = 44 participants
Arm/Group Title Ropinirole PR/XR
Arm/Group Description Treatment Phase: Fixed titration phase (4 weeks): one tablet of ropinirole PR/XR 2 milligrams (mg) as the initial dose. The dose was titrated weekly by 2 mg/day and was increased to 8 mg/day in Week 4; Flexible titration and maintenance dose phases (48 weeks): from Week 5 up to Week 16, the dose was increased at minimum intervals of 1 week between titration steps (up to 16 mg/day). From Week 16 onward, treatment dose was continuously administered up to Week 52. Taper phase: the dose was tapered over 2 to 3 weeks according to the maintenance dose at completion of the Treatment Phase (or withdrawal)
