Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: ropinirole CR-RLS

Subjects will orally take ropinirole CR-RLS tablet(s) once daily 1-2 hours before the onset of RLS symptoms at about the same time of the day. The time of taking ropinirole must be after 16:00.Adjustment of the Ropinirole CR-RLS tablets should be completed after the Week 1 visit up to the Week 10 visit. The dose will be increased at intervals of at least one week until sufficient efficacy is obtained (use "much improved" as a guide) without safety problem. Dose escalation will start at the initial dose 0.5 mg/day to 1 mg/day; after 1 mg/day, the dose will be increased by 1 mg/day to the maximum 6 mg/day.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Drug Related Adverse Events-On-Therapy [Weeks 1 - 12 Treatment Period]

    2. Haematology Clinical Lab Values Change From Baseline [Baseline - Week 13 (Follow-up)]

      Standard units of measure vary. Therefore, Mean Change is represented in Standard Units: Hematocrit = SI unit of GSK; Hemoglobin = G/L; Platelet count, White Blood Cell count = GI/L; Red Blood Cell count = TI/L. n = number of subjects evaluated. EW = Early Withdrawal.

    3. Blood Chemistry Clinical Lab Values Change From Baseline [Baseline - Week 13 (Follow-up)]

      Mean Change in Standard Units of Measure: Albumin, Total Protein=G/L; Alkaline Phosphatase, Alanine Amino Transferase, Aspartate Amino Transferase, Lactate Dehydrogenase, Creatine Phosphokinase, Gamma Glutamyl Transferase=IU/L; Total Bilirubin, Creatinine=UMOL/L; Blood Urea Nitrogen, Cholesterol, Chloride, Sodium, Potassium=MMOL/L; Prolactin=MCG/L

    4. Urinalysis Clinical Lab Values [Baseline - Week 13 (Follow-up)]

      Dipstick test values: Neg Value, Trace, +1, +2, +3. No subjects tested higher than +3.

    5. 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings Transitions From Baseline [Baseline, Week 4, 8, 12, 13 (Follow-up)]

      Baseline Finding/Time Period Finding. Abbreviations: N = normal; A = abnormal; CS = clinically significant; NCS = not clinically significant. Options include N/N, N/ANCS, N/ACS, ANCS/N, ANCS/ANCS, ANCS/ACS, ACS/N, ACS/ANCS, and ACS/ACS.

    6. Vital Signs and Body Weight Change From Baseline [Baseline to Week 12/EW]

      Units of Measure Vary: Weight = kg; Semi-supine and Standing Systolic and Diastolic BP = mmHg; Semi-supine and Standing Pulse Rate = bpm; EW = early withdrawal; Semi-supine = lying down; Orthostatic = lying, sitting, and standing.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in International Restless Leg Syndrome (IRLS) Rating Scale Total Score [Baseline and after Week 12]

      The IRLS Scale assesses the severity of sensory and motor symptoms, sleep disturbance, daytime somnolence, and impact on activities of daily living and mood. The questionnaire scores various questions and totals them using the following scale: Very severe=31-40 points, Severe=21-30 points, Moderate=11-20 points, Mild=1-10 points, None=0 points.

    2. Clinical Global Impression Scale - Severity of Illness (CGI-S) [Baseline - Final assessment point]

      The CGI-S scale measures the overall severity of illness on a 7 point scale. Normal = 1, Borderline = 2, Mildly = 3, Moderately = 4, Markedly = 5, Severely = 6, Extremely Severe = 7(no subjects scored a 7).

    3. Clinical Global Impression Global Improvement (CGI-GI) [Baseline - Final assessment point]

      CGI-GI is a 7 point scale assessing Global Improvement. 1 = Very much improved, 2 = Much improved, 3 = Minimally improved, 4 = No change, 5 = Minimally worse, 6 = Much worse, 7 = Very much worse (no patients scored a 5, 6, or 7).

    4. Change From Baseline at Week 12/Early Withdrawal (EW) in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Total Score [Baseline - Week 12/EW]

      The PSQI generates seven scores that correspond to different domains. Each component score ranges from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (severe difficulty). The domain scores are totaled to produce a global score (range of 0-21). A PSQI global score > 5 is considered to be suggestive of significant sleep disturbance.

    5. Change From Baseline to Week 12/EW in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Total Score by Domains [Baseline - Week 12/EW]

      The PSQI generates seven scores that correspond to different domains. Each component score ranges from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (severe difficulty). The domain scores are totaled to produce a global score (range of 0-21). A PSQI global score > 5 is considered to be suggestive of significant sleep disturbance.

    6. Change From Baseline at Week 12/Early Withdrawal (EW) in Johns Hopkins Restless Leg Syndrome Quality of Life Questionnaire (RLSQOL) on the Overall Life Impact Score [Baseline and Week 12/EW]

      The RLSQOL scale consists of 18 items, 13 of which are scored on a 5-point scale. Ten of the items can be summed to the overall life impact score, which can be transformed to a 0-100 score. Mild = 84.48, Moderate = 62.93, or Severe = 37.47

    7. Change From Baseline at Week 12/Early Withdrawal (EW) in Profile of Mood Status (POMS) [Baseline and Week 12/EW]

      The POMS Standard form contains 65 items (0-232). The respondent rates each item on a 5-point scale, ranging from "Not at all (0)" to "Extremely (4)." The assessment measures six identified mood factors: Tension-Anxiety Depression-Dejection Anger-Hostility Vigor-Activity Fatigue-Inertia Confusion-Bewilderment

    8. Change From Baseline at Week 12/Early Withdrawal (EW) in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) [Baseline - Week 12/EW]

      Self screening questionnaire that requires the first response to questions. Questionnaire consists of 14 questions, seven for anxiety "0-21" and seven for depression "0-21". Questions are answered on a four point scale from 0-3; Items 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 13 are reversed for summation.

    9. Pharmacokinetic Analysis: Plasma Concentrations of SK&F101468, an Unchanged Form of Ropinirole. [Weeks 1-12]

      Plasma samples taken at 24 hours after dosing had been administered for 3 days or longer. This was repeated if the dose was escalated. Lower Limits of Quantitation (LLQ) for SK&101468 = 20 pg/mL. The lowest concentration of analyte can be measured with established acceptable accuracy and precision.

    10. Pharmacokinetic Analysis: Plasma Concentrations of SK&F104557, a Circulating Metabolite of Ropinirole. [Weeks 1 -12]

      Plasma samples taken at 24 hours after dosing had been administered for 3 days or longer. This was repeated if the dose was escalated. Lower Limits of Quantitation (LLQ) for SK&104557 = 20 pg/mL. The lowest concentration of analyte can be measured with established acceptable accuracy and precision.

    11. Pharmacokinetic Analysis: Plasma Concentrations of SK&F89124, a Circulating Metabolite of Ropinirole. [Weeks 1-12]

      Plasma samples taken at 24 hours after dosing had been administered for 3 days or longer. This was repeated if the dose was escalated. Lower Limits of Quantitation (LLQ) for SK&89124 = 20 pg/mL. The lowest concentration of analyte can be measured with established acceptable accuracy and precision.

    Title Change From Baseline at Week 12/Early Withdrawal (EW) in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Total Score
    Description The PSQI generates seven scores that correspond to different domains. Each component score ranges from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (severe difficulty). The domain scores are totaled to produce a global score (range of 0-21). A PSQI global score > 5 is considered to be suggestive of significant sleep disturbance.

Lower Limits of Quantitation (LLQ) for SK&104557 = 20 pg/mL. The lowest concentration of analyte can be measured with established acceptable accuracy and precision.
    Time Frame Weeks 1 -12

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    PK Population
    Arm/Group Title Ropinirole CR-RLS
    Arm/Group Description Subjects who took oral Ropinirole CR-RLS once daily 1-2 hours before onset of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) symptoms (after 4pm). Initial dose level was 0.5 mg/day and increased weekly by 1 mg/day until sufficient efficacy was obtained without any tolerability issues. Treatment period was 12 weeks. Maximum dose level was 6 mg per day.
