Change From Baseline on the Non-motor Score of the Quantitative Wearing-Off Questionnaire 9 Item (QWOQ-9)
The QWOQ-9 is a self-rated questionnaire used to assess motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The 4 non-motor symptoms are each measured on a five item (0-4) Likert scale, reflecting the severity of the item from "not present" to "very severe". The range of possible score values of the non-motor subscale of the QWOQ-9 is 0 to 16. A higher score indicates greater disability. A negative change score indicates improvement.
Time frame: Baseline to 15 minutes prior to 2nd dose at Week 8
Change From Baseline on the Motor Score of the Quantitative Wearing-Off Questionnaire 9 Item (QWOQ-9)
The QWOQ-9 is a self-rated questionnaire used to assess motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The 5 motor symptoms are each measured on a five item (0-4) Likert scale, reflecting the severity of the item from "not present" to "very severe". The range of possible score values of the motor subscale of the QWOQ-9 is 0 to 20. A higher score indicates greater disability. A negative change score indicates improvement.
Time frame: Baseline to 15 minutes prior to 2nd dose at Week 8
