Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Anti-dyskinetic efficacy as measured by the modified AIMS (Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale) total score. To assess how titration of AFQ056 at 2-week intervals affects tolerability profile | 12 weeks |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Anti-dyskinetic efficacy as measured by the Lang-Fahn Activities of Daily Living Dyskinesia Scale (LFADLDS) | 12 weeks |
| Change from baseline on patient's disability caused by the dyskinesia as assessed by a clinician-rated global impression of change (CGIC) | 12 weeks |
| Total ON- and OFF-times and ON-time with dyskinesia and with troublesome dyskinesias (patient diary) | 12 weeks |
| Anti-dyskinetic efficacy as measured by items 32, 33 and 34 of Part IV of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS ) | 12 weeks |
| Safety of AFQ056 as measured by changes in vital signs, laboratory values, electrocardiogram and number of Adverse Events | 12 weeks |
