Change From Baseline in Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) International Restless Leg Group Symptom Severity Rating Scale (IRLS) Total Score at Week 6 |
IRLS: Subject-rated instrument to assess RLS symptom severity and impact on daily living; 10 items yielding 2 subscale scores and 1 global (total) score. Subscale scores: symptom severity (6 items) and impact on daily living (3 items), with item 5 (daytime somnolence due to RLS) loaded equally on both subscales. Global score: calculated from all 10 items. Subscale score ranges: symptom severity 0-24, impact of daily living 0-12; global score range: 0-40. Lower scores reflect lower severity and better quality of life. Change from baseline = score at observation minus score at baseline. |

Number of Subjects Responding to Treatment as Assessed by the Clinical Global Impression - Improvement Scale (CGI-I) |
Clinical Global Impression - Improvement Scale (CGI-I): 7-point clinician rated scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), or 3 (minimally improved) on the scale. Higher score = more affected. Number of subjects responding to treatment at Week 6 with respect to dose level. CGI-I Responders = subjects who reported CGI-I scores of very much improved or much improved. |

Subjective Sleep Questionnaire (SSQ): Latency Subscale; Observed Change From Baseline |
Subjective Sleep Questionnaire (SSQ): subject-rated instrument used to assess sleep behavior; measures sleep quantity and quality. Comprised of 5 items yielding 5 subscale scores: latency, hours of sleep, number of awakenings, total wake time after sleep onset, and quality of sleep.
