Primary Outcome Measures:
- Percentage of Participants Who Experienced a Relapse During the Double-Blind Treatment Period [ Time Frame: DB Treatment Period; Days 169 to 252 (Weeks 24 to 36) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Relapse was defined as worsening of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) symptoms or withdrawal due to lack of efficacy during the 12-week double-blind (DB) treatment period (the period from Randomization on Visit 14 [Week 24] through the end of treatment). Worsening of symptoms was defined as an increase in the total International RLS (IRLS) Scale score by at least 6 or more points relative to the participant's score at Randomization, achieving an IRLS score of at least 15, and an assessment of "much worse" or "very much worse" on the investigator-rated Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C).
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Time From Randomization to Relapse in RLS Symptoms During the Double-Blind Treatment Period [ Time Frame: DB Treatment Period; Days 169 to 252 (Weeks 24 to 36) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Time to relapse was defined as the time until worsening of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) symptoms or withdrawal due to lack of efficacy during the 12-week Double-blind (DB) treatment period (same as primary outcome definition). Note: The median is not estimable with Kaplan-Meier methodology when fewer than 50% of participants experience an event. The median is not estimable for this outcome.
- Time From Randomization to Relapse in RLS Symptoms During the Double-Blind Treatment Period (Excluding First Two Weeks of DB Phase) [ Time Frame: DB Treatment Period; Days 184 to 252 (Weeks 26 to 36) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Time to relapse was defined as the time until worsening of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) symptoms or withdrawal due to lack of efficacy during the 12-week Double-blind (DB) treatment period (same as primary outcome definition). Note: The median is not estimable with Kaplan-Meier methodology when fewer than 50% of participants experience an event. The median is not estimable for this outcome.
- Mean Change From Randomization to Week 36 (or End of Treatment) in the IRLS Rating Scale (IRLS) Total Score Using Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) [ Time Frame: Randomization (Week 24) and Week 36 (or end of DB treatment) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The IRLS Rating scale is a measure of RLS disease severity and reflects the participant-reported assessment of primary sensory and motor features and associated sleep problems in RLS. Items are included that assess the impact of symptoms on participants' mood, daily life, and activities. The total score ranges from 0-40 points, with 40 being the most severe. The scale assesses symptoms over the week prior to measurement. LOCF: Missing data (MD) values were imputed using the last non-missing observation prior to the visit with MD; randomization visit data could be carried forward.
- Percentage of Participants Who Responded to Treatment Based on Scores on the Investigator-Rated Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) Scale as a Dichotomous Variable at Week 36 (DB Treatment Phase) Using LOCF [ Time Frame: Randomization (Week 24) and Week 36 (or end of DB treatment) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The CGI-C scale is a widely used tool designed to allow clinicians to rate the severity of illness and the change over time based on a seven-point rating scale, with a score of 1 being "very much improved" and a score of 7 being "very much worse" compared to baseline. For this endpoint, "response" on the CGI-C was defined as participants with a rating of "no change," (score of 4) "minimally improved," (score of 3) "much improved," (score of 2) or "very much improved" (score of 1) compared to Randomization (Week 24).
- Number of Participants in Each Category of the Investigator-Rated CGI-C at Week 36 (DB Treatment Phase) Using LOCF [ Time Frame: Randomization (Week 24) and Week 36 (or end of DB treatment) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The CGI scale is a widely used tool designed to allow clinicians to rate the severity of illness and the change over time based on a seven-point rating scale, with a score of 1 being "very much improved" and a score of 7 being "very much worse" compared to baseline.
- Number of Participants in Each Category of the Participant-Rated CGI-I Scale at Week 36 (DB Treatment Phase) Using LOCF [ Time Frame: Week 36 (or end of DB treatment) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The participant-rated CGI-I scale is a self-rated assessment designed to allow participants to rate the change of their disease severity over time based on a seven-point scale, with a score of 1 being "very much improved" and a score of 7 being "very much worse" compared to baseline.
- Percentage of Participants Who Responded to Treatment Based on Scores on the Participant-Rated CGI-I at Week 36 (DB Treatment Phase) Using LOCF [ Time Frame: Week 36 (or end of DB treatment) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The participant-rated CGI-I scale is a self-rated assessment designed to allow participants to rate the change of their disease severity over time based on a seven-point scale, with a score of 1 being "very much improved," and a score of 7 being "very much worse." Response on the participant-rated CGI-I was defined as a rating of "very much improved" (score of 1) or "much improved" (score of 2) compared to Baseline of the SB phase.

Responses are recoded so that a higher score reflects more of the attribute, and then converted to a 0 to 100 scale. The daytime somnolence score is based on questions pertaining to feeling drowsy or sleepy, trouble staying awake, and taking naps > 5 minutes. For daytime somnolence, a negative value indicates an improvement.
- Mean Change From Randomization to Week 36 (DB Treatment Phase) in the Mean Sleep Disturbance Domain Score of the MOS Sleep Scale Using LOCF [ Time Frame: Randomization (Week 24) and Week 36 (or end of DB treatment) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The MOS Sleep Scale is a participant-rated non-disease-specific measure with questions relating to four areas related to sleep: quantity (number of hours slept), sleep disturbance, sleep adequacy, and daytime somnolence. The MOS Sleep Scale sleep disturbance domain is a participant-rated measure of sleep disturbance over the month prior to the measurement. Questions are scored, and responses are converted to a 0 to 100 scale, with lower scores representing less sleep disturbance.

Responses range from 1 (not at all/never) to 5 (a lot/all of the time). Ten items contribute to a single summary score, the Overall Life Impact, which is standardized to range from 0-100, with lower scores representing better QoL.
