Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Post-conversion From Ropinirole IR to Ropinirole CR Over Period
Time Frame: Up to 5 weeks
AE is an unfavorable change in the health of a participant, including abnormal laboratory findings, that happens during a clinical study or within a certain time period after the study has ended. This change may or may not be caused by the intervention being studied. In each of the 6 cohorts, there were 2 conversions, one of which was IR to CR-RLS and the other one IR to IR. Two populations were defined: the first conversion population and the second conversion population. The first conversion population consisted of all participants receiving at least one dose of randomized drug during the pre-conversion 1 period and during the post-conversion 1 period. The second conversion population consisted of all participants receiving at least one dose of randomized drug during the pre-conversion 2 period and during the post-conversion 2 period.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Participants With Positive Scores (Improved) on Clinical Global Impression Improvement Scale (CGI-I) Pre-conversion and One Week Post-conversion(Up to 4 weeks)
- Change From Pre-conversion in Systolic and Diastolic Orthostatic SBP and DBP to One Week Post-conversion(Up to 5 weeks)
- Number of Participants With SAEs and Severity of AEs(Up to 5 weeks)
- Change From Pre-conversion in Pulse Rate to One Week Post-conversion(Up to 5 weeks)
- Change From Pre-conversion in International RLS (IRLS) Rating Scale Total Score to One Week Post-conversion(Up to 5 weeks)
- Number of Participants With pre-and One Week Post-conversion Values of Vital Signs of Potential Clinical Concern (PCC)(Up to 5 weeks)
- Change From Pre-conversion to Post-conversion in Ambulatory Blood Pressure(Up to 5 weeks)
- Number of Participants Discontinuing the Drug Due to AEs Post Conversion From Ropinirole IR to Ropinirole CR-RLS(Up to 5 weeks)
