About this study

Official title: An Open-label Extension Trial to Determine Safety and Tolerability of Long-term Transdermal Application of Rotigotine in Subjects With Idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome

This is a multi-center, open-label extension trial conducted at the same European sites that participated in trial SP 709 (NCT00243217). The trial is designed to collect long-term safety and tolerability, efficacy correlates, and quality of life data in subjects with idiopathic Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). The duration of treatment is approximately 5 years. Subject will be up-titrated to their optimal dose (administration of 1 patch per day, 5 different doses and patch sizes).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Subjects With at Least One Adverse Event, as Reported Spontaneously by the Subject or Observed by the Investigator, During the 5-year Open-label Extension.

    Adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences in a subject administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to treatment.

    Measured: Up to five years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Subjects Who Withdrew From the Trial Due to an Adverse Event During the 5-year Open Label Extension

    Adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences in a subject administered study treatment, whether or not these events are related to treatment.

    Measured: Up to five years
