The primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy of XP13512 taken once daily compared to placebo for the treatment of patients suffering from Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).
This was a 12-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to assess the efficacy and safety of XP13512 in subjects with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Eligible subjects were randomized to receive 1 of 3 once daily oral doses of XP13512 1200 mg, XP13512 600 mg, or placebo. The primary study objective was to compare the efficacy of XP13512 1200 mg taken once daily for 12 weeks versus placebo. The secondary study objectives were to assess the efficacy of XP13512 600 mg taken once daily for the reatment of RLS and to assess the onset of treatment benefits and improvement in sleep, pain, mood, quality of life, and safety and tolerability of both XP13512 1200 mg and 600 mg.

Change From Baseline in IRLS Rating Scale Total Score at Week 12 Using Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)
The International Restless Legs Syndrome (IRLS) Rating scale is a measure of RLS disease severity. The scale reflects the participant-reported assessment of primary sensory and motor features and associated sleep problems in RLS. Ten items (individually scored from 0 to 4) are included that assess the impact of symptoms on participants' mood, daily life, and activities. The total scale score is a sum of all of the individual item scores and ranges from 0-40 points, with 40 being the most severe. The scale assesses symptoms over the week prior to measurement.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 12
Number of Participants With a Score of "Much Improved" or "Very Much Improved" on the Investigator-rated CGI-I Scale (Response) at (Week 12) Using LOCF
The investigator -rated Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) scale is an assessment designed to allow investigators to rate the change of a participant's disease severity over time based on a seven-point scale, with a score of 1 being "very much improved," a score of 2 being "much improved," a score of 3 being "minimally improved," a score of 4 being "no change," a score of 5 being "minimally improved,"a score of 6 being "much worse," and a score of 7 being "very much worse." Participants with a response of "much improved" or "very much improved" were classified as responders.

Change From Baseline in the Profile of Mood State (POMS) Scale at Week 12 Using LOCF
The Profile of Mood States (POMS) Brief Form contains 30 adjectives; each participant is asked to rate the degree to which each adjective describes themselves based on how they felt during the past week including the date on which the adjective was rated. The possible ratings range from "0" (Not all all) to "4" (Extremely). The Total Mood Disturbance Score (range of 0 to 120) is obtained by summing the values of six domains. Higher scores indicate a more negative mood disturbance. The POMS was completed at Baseline (Day 1), and at the end of Weeks 4, 8, and 12 (or Early Termination).
