Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious AEs (SAEs), and AEs Leading to Discontinuation During the Run-in Period
AE: any untoward medical occurrence in a participant that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE: an event that results in the death of a subject, is life threatening, results in hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or other important medical event. Severity was rated as mild, moderate, or severe. AEs of special interest included: device-associated gastrointestinal disorders; cardiovascular fatalities; aspiration including aspiration pneumonia; a diagnosis of peripheral polyneuropathy (axonal, demyelinating or mixed type); possible symptoms of peripheral polyneuropathy; clinically significant weight loss. 'AEs at least possibly related' are defined as those that were assessed by investigator as probably related or possibly related.

Mean Change From Baseline to the End of Treatment in Percentage of Ratings in the "Normal" State on the Treatment Response Scale (TRS) I
Participants were video recorded a total of 10 times for 1 to 2 minutes every 60 minutes while performing a standardized sequence of motor tasks: rest, finger taps, rapid alternating movement of hands, arising from chair and gait, including confirmation of postural stability. Based on these video recordings, a Video Evaluation Committee consisting of 3 neurologists individually evaluated the following Video Assessment and Treatment Response Scale (TRS) under blinded conditions: Finger Taps, Rapid Alternating Movement of Hands, Arising from Chair, Gait, Body Bradykinesia and Hypokinesia, Dyskinesia. The average of the neurologists' evaluations was calculated as a percentage of ratings in the "Normal" state (ie, "mild OFF" to "ON with mild dyskinesia") on the TRS I (total 10 assessments per day).

Mean Change From Baseline to the End of Treatment in Percentage of Ratings in the "OFF" and "Dyskinesia" States on the TRS I and the "Normal," "OFF," and "Dyskinesia" States on the TRS II
Participants were video recorded a total of 10 times for 1 to 2 minutes every 60 minutes while performing a standardized sequence of motor tasks: rest, finger taps, rapid alternating movement of hands, arising from chair and gait, including confirmation of postural stability. Based on these video recordings, a Video Evaluation Committee consisting of 3 neurologists individually evaluated the following Video Assessment and TRS under blinded conditions: Finger Taps, Rapid Alternating Movement of Hands, Arising from Chair, Gait, Body Bradykinesia and Hypokinesia, Dyskinesia for TRS I, with the addition of Tremor at Rest and Postural Stability for TRS II. The average of the 3 neurologists' evaluations was calculated as a percentage of ratings in the "Normal" state (ie, "mild OFF" to "ON with mild dyskinesia"), the "Off" state ("moderate OFF" to "severe OFF"), and the "Dyskinesia" state ("ON with moderate dyskinesia" to "ON with severe dyskinesia") on the TRS I or II.

Change From Baseline to the End of Treatment in Parkinson's Disease Diary Assessment
For each half hour period during 3 consecutive days prior to each assessment of the diary, participants (and/or their caregivers) entered into a diary whether they were asleep, in the ON motor state or in the OFF motor state in the following 5 grades: asleep, OFF, ON (no dyskinesia \[D\]), ON with non-troublesome dyskinesia (NTD), ON with troublesome dyskinesia (TD). ON time is when PD symptoms are well controlled by the drug. OFF time is when PD symptoms are not adequately controlled by the drug. Dyskinetic time is time with involuntary muscle movement. The ON or OFF times were calculated as the average of 3 daily times from the diaries. w/o = without, w/ = with

Baseline and Endpoint (End of Treatment) Video Scoring of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Items and Dyskinesia
Participants were video recorded a total of 10 times for 1 to 2 minutes every 60 minutes while performing a standardized sequence of motor tasks. Based on these video recordings, a Video Evaluation Committee consisting of 3 neurologists individually evaluated the video under blinded conditions using the following assessments: Tremor at Rest (UPDRS item #20), Finger Taps (UPDRS #23), Rapid Alternating Movement of Hands (UPDRS #25), Arising from Chair (UPDRS #27), Gait (UPDRS #29), Postural Stability (UPDRS #30), Body Bradykinesia and Hypokinesia (UPDRS #31), and Dyskinesia (evaluated with the Goetz Dyskinesia Rating Scale). The UPDRS score is the sum of the answers to individual questions, each of which are measured on a 5-point scale (0-4), with higher scores associated with more disability. The Goetz Dyskinesia Rating Scale is a 5-point scale of the severity of dyskinesias, from 0 (absent) to 4 (violent dyskinesias).
Time frame: Baseline (Day -1), Endpoint (Day 21)
Mean Change From Baseline to the End of Treatment in UPDRS Total Scores and Subscores
The UPDRS is an Investigator-used rating tool to follow the longitudinal course of Parkinson's disease. The total score is the sum of the responses to the 31 questions (44 answers) that comprise Parts I-III of the scale. The total score ranges from 0-176, with 176 representing the worst (total) disability, and 0 no disability. The Part I Score is the sum of the answers to the 4 questions related to Mentation, Behavior and Mood, and ranges from 0-16. The Part II score is the sum of the answers to the 13 questions related to Activities of Daily Living, and ranges from 0-52. The Part III score is the sum of the 27 answers related to Motor Examination, and ranges from 0-108. The Part IV Score is the sum of the answers to the 11 questions related to Complications of Therapy, and ranges from 0-23. The Part IV dyskinesia subscore ranges from 0-12. For each part of the UPDRS, higher scores are associated with more disability.

Change From Baseline to the End of Treatment in the Japanese Version of Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire 39 (PDQ-39) Total Score and Domain Scores
The PDQ-39 is a self-administered questionnaire which comprises 39 items addressing 8 domains of health in Parkinson's disease patients, including Mobility, Activities of Daily Living, Emotional Well-being, Stigma, Social Support, Cognition, Communication, and Bodily Discomfort, as well as a Summary Index Total Score. Scores for each are on a scale from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicate a better perceived health status. Higher scores are consistently associated with the more severe symptoms of the disease such as tremor and stiffness.

The ratings of the CGI-S are as follows: normal, borderline ill, mildly ill, moderately ill, markedly ill, severely ill, and among the most extremely ill. The CGI-I is a global assessment by the Investigator of the change in clinical status since the start of treatment. The CGI-I ratings are as follows: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse, very much worse.
