Primary Outcome Measures:

International Restless Legs Severity Scale (IRLS)

Secondary Outcome Measures:

RLS-6 scales
CGI

Estimated Enrollment:

300

Detailed Description:

Approximately 300 patients will be randomized to receive either lisuride, ropinirole or placebo in a 2:1:1 fashion. After completion of 12 weeks of double-blind treatment, eligible patients will have the option to continue treatment with the lisuride patch for further 36 weeks in an open-label extension of the study.

Primary outcome: Changes in the total score of the International Restless Legs Severity Scale (IRLS) from baseline to end of double-blind treatment (12 weeks) will be used as primary efficacy outcome measure.

Secondary objectives are to evaluate quality of life, safety and tolerability. After the double-blind period, long-term efficacy of lisuride will be assessed for further 36 weeks in an open-label extension of the study.
