Brief Summary:
To establish the efficacy of a 20 mg/day dose of istradefylline for reducing the percentage of OFF time in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with levodopa.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Parkinson's Disease Drug: Istradefylline (KW-6002) Phase 3

Detailed Description:
To establish the efficacy of a 20 mg/d dose of istradefylline for reducing the percentage of OFF time in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with levodopa. Patients who meet entry criteria will be randomized in a 1 to 1 ratio to either istradefylline or matching placebo. Patients will be treated for 12 weeks and will have interim visits and end of treatment visit to assess the efficacy and safety of istradefylline as compared to placebo.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To establish the efficacy of a 20 mg/d dose of istradefylline for reducing the percentage of OFF time in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with levodopa/carbidopa.

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. To evaluate the efficacy of a 20 mg/d dose of istradefylline for reducing the total hours of OFF time.
  2. To evaluate the change in percentage of ON time (without dyskinesia, with dyskinesia, with non-troublesome dyskinesia, and with troublesome dyskinesia).
  3. To evaluate the change in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Motor Examination score (part III) and/or in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score (part II).
  4. To evaluate the change in Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) and Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36).
  5. To evaluate the change in the Patient Global Impression - Improvement scale (PGI-I).
  6. To evaluate change in the Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness scale (CGI-S).
  7. To evaluate the safety of a 20 mg/d dose of istradefylline.
