Inclusion Criteria
  • Subject is male or female, ≥18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria
  • Subject discontinued from previous therapy with a dopamine agonist after an adequate length of treatment, at an adequate dose, due to lack of efficacy as assessed by the investigator
  • Subject is receiving therapy with 1 of the following drugs, either concurrently or within 28 days prior to the Baseline Visit: alpha-methyl dopa, metoclopramide, reserpine, neuroleptics (except specific atypical neuroleptics: olanzapine, ziprasidone, aripiprazole, clozapine, and quetiapine), monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) inhibitors, methylphenidate, amphetamine, or other dopamine agonists (DAs)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to the End of Maintenance in Total Nonmotor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) ScoreFrom Baseline (Day 1) to end of 12-week Maintenance (Day 84)

The Nonmotor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) is a validated tool for rating frequency and severity of nonmotor symptoms in Parkinson's Disease (PD). The severity and frequency of the subject's nonmotor symptoms is assessed by the investigator in the following 9 domain categories: cardiovascular, including falls; sleep/fatigue; mood/cognition; perceptual problems/hallucinations; attention/memory; gastrointestinal tract; urinary; sexual function; miscellaneous. Severity and frequency are rated using a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (severe; major source of distress or disturbance to subject) for severity and from 1 (rarely) to 4 (very frequent \[daily or all the time\]) for frequency. The total NMSS score ranges from 0 to 350. A negative change from Baseline to end of Maintenance indicates an improvement in NMSS.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to the End of Maintenance in Total Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III ScoreFrom Baseline (Day 1) to end of 12-week Maintenance (Day 84)

The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III is a scale for the assessment of function in Parkinson's Disease. UPDRS Part III measures Motor Function. It consists of 14 items with 27 questions, each ranging from 0 to 4. The sum score for the UPDRS Part III ranges from 0 to 108. A higher score indicates greater disability. A negative change from Baseline to end of Maintenance score indicates improvement.

Change From Baseline to the End of Maintenance in Health-related Quality of Life (HRQL) Measured by a 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39)From Baseline (Day 1) to end of 12-week Maintenance (Day 84)

Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire - 39 (PDQ-39) is a self-administered questionnaire. It comprises of 39 questions, relating to eight key areas of health and daily activities, including both Motor and Non-motor symptoms. It is scored on a scale of zero to 100, with lower scores indicating better health and high scores more severe symptoms in change from Baseline to end of Maintenance.

Change From Baseline to the End of Maintenance in the Nonmotor Symptoms Scale Score: Subdomain CardiovascularFrom Baseline (Day 1) to end of 12-week Maintenance (Day 84)

The Nonmotor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) is a validated tool for rating frequency and severity of nonmotor symptoms in Parkinson's Disease (PD). The severity and frequency of the subject's nonmotor symptoms is assessed by the investigator in 9 different domains. Severity (ranges: 0 = None, 1 = Mild, 2 = Moderate, 3 = Severe) and frequency (ranges: 1 = Rarely (\<1/wk), 2 = Often (1/wk), 3 = Frequent (several times per week), 4 = Very Frequent (daily or all the time) are rated using a 4-point scale.

The final score is derived from multiplying the severity score and the frequency score.

A negative change from Baseline to end of Maintenance indicates an improvement in NMSS.

The possible min/max final scores per subdomain are calculated as follows:

Range of final score per subdomain: 0 - 12 per question multiplied by the number of questions per subdomain:

Subdomain Cardiovascular (2 questions): range 0 - 24
