|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the efficacy of BF2.649 over placebo (Double-Blind Phase) in the improvement of excessive daytime sleepiness, as measured by the change from baseline in the Epworth Scale Scores (ESS) at Week 12 , in patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease;Secondary Objective: To evaluate diurnal somnolence and sleep episodes number and duration as reported in the patients’ sleep diaries To assess the evolution of the (FSS) To evaluate the evolution of the (UPDRS) To assess Quality of Life of Patients reported in (PDQ-39) To assess Levodopa & dopamine agonists dosage modification To assess the evolution of the Clinical Global Impression on EDS as measured by the CGI scale scores. To assess patients’ depression as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score To assess Patients’ Apathy as measured by the (AES) To assess patient’s sleep as measured by the (SOS) To assess the product withdrawal effect at W13 by collecting the changes in signs and symptoms (increased appetite, increased sleepiness, excitability, changes in mood)and by assessing the modification of ESS, AES, FSS, PDQ-39, CGI , SOS, BDI and sleep diary after one week of product withdrawal. ;Primary end point(s): Evolution of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores (ESS). Comparison between the ESS score baseline value and the ESS-score at week 12 | — |
