1.Primary Outcome
Title Change in Motor Function During Levodopa Withdrawal.
Hide Description

Movement Disorder Society's Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS), Part 3 Motor Examination has 33 scores based on 18 questions with several right, left, or both body distribution scores. Each Parkinsonian sign or symptom is rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale (ranging from 0 to 4), with higher scores indicating more severe impairment. The minimum score on the MDS-UPDRS Part 3 is 0 and the maximum is 132.

Outcome is the mean change from Baseline in motor function during the practically defined off-medication state, defined as at least 12 hours off levodopa, at Week 12, with lower score representing better outcome.

The SE-ADL evaluates patients' perceptions of global functional capacity and dependence. Scoring is expressed in terms of percentage, in 10 steps from 100 to 0 (100% indicates completely independent, 0% indicates bedridden with impaired vegetative functions), so that the lower the score, the worse the functional status. Scores will be summarized descriptively at each scheduled time point (i.e. n, %) by treatment group. A Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) for alternating logistic regression (ALR) with an exchangeable working correlation structure will be employed to analyze change from baseline.

Outcome is mean change from baseline in SE-ADL during the on-medication state at Week 12, with higher values represents a better outcome.

Title The Sheehan-Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS), Change From Baseline in S-STS During the On-medication State.
Hide Description

The standard version of the S-STS is a 16-item scale that assesses the seriousness of suicidality phenomena on a Likert-type scale (0-4) ranging from "not at all" (0) to "extremely" (4), where higher scores indicate more risk of suicidality. It also assesses the frequency of key phenomena and the overall time spent in suicidality. Total score is a sum of all items; total score ranges from 0-64.

Outcome is the mean change from baseline in S-STS during the on-medication state at Week 12, with higher score represents a worse outcome.

Title 10-meter Timed Walk, Change in Baseline 10-meter Timed Walk During the on and Off-medication State
Hide Description

The 10-meter walk test is a commonly used tool for assessing gait speed in individuals with gait limitations. Gait speed is positively correlated with the amount of community ambulation and quality of life, and it is an important measure of mobility in individuals with PD, with higher value corresponds to better mobility.

Outcome is the mean change from baseline comfortable walking speed (gait), fast walking speed (gait), during the on and off-medication state at Week 12, with higher score represents a better outcome.

Title Hauser 3-Day Patient Diary, Change in Baseline Mean Time Spent With and Without Troublesome Dyskinesia as Measured by the Hauser 3-Day Patient Diary
Hide Description

The Hauser Patient Diary was developed to assess functional status over a period of time in patients with motor fluctuations and dyskinesia by recording patient motor state for half-hour intervals over a 24-hour period. The outcome is mean change of Mean Time Spent with and without troublesome dyskinesia from Baseline at Week 12.

ON/OFF-time is time when medication is providing/not providing benefit with regard to mobility, slowness, and stiffness, respectively.

Troublesome dyskinesia is defined as dyskinesia that interfere with function or causes meaningful discomfort. Bad time is defined as the sum of off time and on time with troublesome dyskinesia. Lower value represents a better outcome. Good time is defined as the on time without dyskinesia plus on time with non-troublesome dyskinesia. Higher value represents a better outcome.
