Summary

The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SND 919 (pramipexole) tablets administered in combination with L-dopa in patients with Parkinson's disease using placebo and bromocriptine tablets as comparators in a double-blind design (phase III comparative study).

Secondary outcome:

Changes from baseline in sores of individual items on UPDRS Part II

Changes from baseline in scores of individual items on UPDRS Part III

Change from baseline in area under the curve (AUC) in the UPDRS Part II score

Change from baseline in area under the curve (AUC) in the UPDRS Part III score

Change from baseline in total score of UPDRS Part I (mentation, behaviour and mood)

Change from baseline in total score of UPDRS Part IV (complications of therapy)

Change from baseline in total score of UPDRS Part I-III

Change from baseline in total score of UPDRS Part I-IV

Change from baseline in Modified Hoehn & Yahr stage
