Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Food Effects on AUC0-24 of SKF101468 (Ropinirole) and Its Metabolites	Weeks 5-16	The dose of SKF101468 and its metabolites was normalized to 1 mg. Blood sampling at steady state up to 24 hours (hr) post dose after receiving the maintenance dose was conducted. In order to investigate the effect of a meal on pharmacokinetics, blood was sampled twice (after a standard morning meal and at fasted state) from identical participants. AUC0-24: area under the drug concentration 24 hr curve.
Food Effects on Tmax of SKF101468 (Ropinirole) and Its Metabolites	Weeks 5-16	The dose of SKF101468 and its metabolites was normalized to 1 mg. Blood sampling at steady state up to 24 hours post dose after receiving the maintenance dose was conducted. In order to investigate the effect of a meal on pharmacokinetics, blood was sampled twice (after a standard morning meal and at fasted state) from identical participants. Tmax: time of maximum concentration. Data are presented as the median difference between fed and fasted states for ropinirole and each metabolite.
Food Effects on Cmax and Cmin of SKF101468 (Ropinirole) and Its Metabolites	Weeks 5-16	The dose of SKF101468 and its metabolites was normalized to 1 mg. Blood sampling at steady state up to 24 hours post dose after receiving the maintenance dose was conducted. In order to investigate the effect of a meal on pharmacokinetics, blood was sampled twice (after a standard morning meal and at fasted state) from identical participants. Cmax: maximum concentration, Cmin: trough plasma concentration.
Plasma Trough Concentrations of SKF101468 (Ropinirole) and Its Metabolites	Weeks 1-16	Blood sampling in the fixed titration phase will be performed at 24 hour post dose of the last dose of 2, 4, and 8 mg (immediately before the morning dose). Blood sampling in the maintenance dose phase will be performed at 24 hour post dose of 10 mg or more for one week or longer (immediately before the morning dose), as sampling needs to be conducted at steady state.
