Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Score From Baseline to Change in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) (Part III) Motor Score From Baseline to Week 12 Assessed On Medication

    The UPDRS scores is a rating tool used to gauge the course of Parkinson's disease in patients. The minimum total score possible is 0 and the maximum total score possible is 199. Higher values represent a worse outcome.

    Baseline to Week 12

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Nonmotor Symptoms: 30-item Screening Questionnaire (NMS-Quest) Score From Baseline to Week 12 Assessed On Medication

    to Week 12 Assessed On Medication

  • Change in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Score From Baseline to Week 12 Assessed On Medication

    to Week 12 Assessed On Medication
