Arms of the Study

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

To Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Tozadenant in Levodopa-treated PD Patients Experiencing Motor Fluctuations.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of tozadenant in levodopa-treated Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients experiencing motor fluctuations, based on assessment of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and clinical laboratory tests. A total of 66 patients were enrolled in 27 study centers across 6 countries: USA, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Spain and Hungary, and were included in the Safety Set (SS).

Secondary Outcome Measures

To Evaluate the Effects of Tozadenant on the Occurrences of Daytime Drowsiness by Using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale.
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a scale intended to measure daytime sleepiness that is measured by use of a short questionnaire. Minimum range is 0 - Maximum range is 24. A score within the range 0-9 is considered to be normal while a score within the range of 10-24 would indicate that medical help should be solicited.
To Evaluate the Effects of Tozadenant on the Number of Participants With Suicidal Ideation or Behavior Using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Scale (C-SSRS) Summarized by Visit.
The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is a standardized suicidality rating system. The interview measures presence of suicidality and consists of 4 categories: suicidal ideation, intensity of ideation, suicidal behavior, and actual/potential lethality. Suicidal Ideation - A series of 1 -5 questions with 5 types of ideation of increasing severity. Score of Yes = 1, No= 0. A positive answer to question 4 (active suicidal ideation with some intent to act) or 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent) indicates that the individual has some intent to act on suicidal thoughts and will need further evaluation. Suicidal Behavior - Different types of suicidal behavior are scored (Yes=1, No=0) and identify the occurrence of actual, interrupted, or aborted attempts; preparatory behaviors; and suicide. The total number of each type of suicidal behavior show the density of suicide, (more behaviors represent a higher degree of risk).
To Evaluate the Effects of Tozadenant on the Number of Participants With Occurrence of Impulsive Behavior - Modified Minnesota Impulse Disorder Interview (mMIDI)
The Minnesota Impulsive Disorders Interview (MIDI) 8 is a global instrument that includes questions for compulsive gambling, buying, and sexual behavior (as well as other disorders not reported to occur in PD). The mMIDI consists of 5 modules: compulsive buying, compulsive gambling, compulsive eating, hypersexuality and punding. Positive Answer: Any answer other than "no" on any question is considered a "yes"/positive answer. Negative Module: A module is considered negative if the patient's answer to a gateway (initial) question is "no" or if a patient answers "yes" to a gateway question and "no" to all of the remaining answers after the gateway question in that module. Positive Module: A module is considered positive if a patient gives a positive answer (No = 0, rarely = 1, occasionally = 2, frequently = 3) to any question after the gateway (initial) question in one or more of the 5 modules.
