E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To establish the efficacy of istradefylline 20 and 40 mg/d for reducing the total hours of OFF time per day in moderate to severe PD patients with motor fluctuations and dyskinesia on levodopa combinations levodopa/carbidopa or benserazide/levodopa) therapy |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Change from screening/baseline (as appropriate) in:
-total hours of ON time per day without troublesome dyskinesia

-Total UPDRS (Parts I+II+III)
-Patient Global Impression-Improvement (PGI-I) scale
-Sleep time in hours per day based upon 24-hour diaries
-The percentage of awake time per day spent in the OFF state
-The percentage of ON time per day without troublesome dyskinesia
-Total hours of ON time and percentage of ON time per day (without dyskinesia, with dyskinesia, with non-troublesome dyskinesia, and with troublesome dyskinesia)
-Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA)
