Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A 12-week, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Parallel Group, Multicenter, Fixed Dose Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a 20 mg/d Oral Dose of KW-6002 (Istradefylline) as Treatment for Parkinson's Disease in Patients With Motor Response Complications on Levodopa/Carbidopa Therapy. |

Actual Primary Completion Date : | November 2005 |
Actual Study Completion Date : | January 2006 |

- 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.
- To evaluate the efficacy of a 20 mg/d dose of istradefylline for reducing the total hours of OFF time.
- To evaluate the change in percentage of ON time (without dyskinesia, with dyskinesia, with non-troublesome dyskinesia, and with troublesome dyskinesia).
- 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).
- To evaluate the change in Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) and Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36).
- To evaluate the change in the Patient Global Impression - Improvement scale (PGI-I).
- To evaluate change in the Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness scale (CGI-S).
- To evaluate the safety of a 20 mg/d dose of istradefylline.
