Antipsychotic Efficacy
Antipsychotic Efficacy was defined as a decrease in the severity and/or frequency of hallucinations and/or delusions. This is measured as the change from baseline (Day 1) to Day 43 in the Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms 9-item sum score for Parkinson's Disease (SAPS-PD). The possible total score is 0 to 45 and a negative change in score indicates improvement. Analysis Method: Mixed Model Repeated Measures (MMRM)
Time frame: Each study visit (i.e. Days 1, 15, 29 and 43)
Motor Symptoms Change From Baseline (Negative = Improvement)
Motor symptoms were measured using the change from baseline to Day 43 in the combined score of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part II (Activities of Daily Living) and Part III (Motor Examination). The possible total score is 0 to 160 and a negative change in score indicates improvement. Analysis Method: Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The UPDRS Parts II+III score was analyzed by constructing 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs) on the difference between the pimavanserin dose group and placebo mean change from baseline. Non-inferiority was concluded if the upper limit of the CI was less than or equal to 5.
Time frame: Study Days 1 and 43
