Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to show Rotigotine dose response at four doses of Rotigotine used with L-dopa in treating advanced stage Parkinson's disease.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Parkinson's Disease Drug: Rotigotine Other: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
To maintain treatment blind, two different active patch sizes were used (10 cm^2 & 20 cm^2). Placebo patches matched according to size and appearance. During the trial subjects applied up to three patches, active and placebo, to achieve their assigned daily dose.
