What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence and severity of AEs/SAEs, changes in vital signs, lab assessments and ECGs, in cognitive function (MMSE), psychiatric symptoms (SCOPA-PC), and underlying symptoms of PD (UPDRS part III, CGIC, PGIC).

    Time frame: 3.5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Assessment of dyskinetic symptoms by change from baseline in mAIMS total score

    Time frame: 3.5 years

  2. Investigator and patient assessment of clinical changes in dyskinetic symptoms and disability due to dyskinesia compared to baseline, as measured by the corresponding CGIC and PGIC items respectively

    Time frame: 3.5 years
