Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of the study is to determine whether Butrans Transdermal System (BTDS) reduces RLS symptom severity in patients with moderate to severe idiopathic RLS who are naïve to opiate treatment. The secondary objective of the study is to investigate the effects of BTDS on mood, sleep, and quality of life. The study will consist of nine visits. Depending on the need for medication titration, there may also be two scheduled telephone contacts. Visit 1: This is a screening visit to determine study eligibility. Eligible subjects who choose to participate must undergo medication washout as described in the detailed protocol between visits 1 and 2. Treatment period #1 (Visits 2 - 5; day 0 - 28): Baseline measures will be recorded and subjects randomized to treatment order at visit 2 (day 0). Study medication as well as rescue medication (l-dopa, a non-blinded active treatment to be used within a limited dose range as described in the detailed protocol) will be dispensed. Subjects will begin treatment period #1 immediately after this. The study medication will be titrated within the allowed range according to subject's reported symptoms during visit 3 (day 7), visit 4 (day 14), telephone contact (day 21). Visit 5 will occur on day 28 and will include assessment of outcome measures for the first treatment period. Visit 5 will also mark the beginning of the second treatment period. Treatment period #2 (Visits 6 - 8; day 28 - 56): Procedures will be similar to those described above during treatment period #1. Visit 8 will mark the end of the second treatment period during which outcome measures will be ascertained. Follow up visit (Visit 9; day 70): This will be a safety follow-up visit approximately two weeks after visit 8 for review of adverse events.
