Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
To establish the efficacy of 20 mg/day and 40 mg/day doses of istradefylline for reducing the mean total hours of awake time per day spent in the OFF state in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with levodopa/dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor.
Last Visit
Secondary Outcomes (5)
To evaluate the efficacy of 20 mg/day and 40 mg/day doses of istradefylline for reducing the mean percentage of awake time per day spent in the OFF state.
Every Visit
To evaluate mean change in the total hours and the percentage of awake time per day spent in the ON state (without dyskinesia, with dyskinesia, with non-troublesome dyskinesia, and with troublesome dyskinesia).
Every Visit
To evaluate the change in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS).
Every Visit
To evaluate change in the Clinical Global Impression - Improvement scale (CGI-I).
Visit 4 and Last Visit
To evaluate the safety of 20 mg/day and 40mg/day doses of istradefylline
