Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Rotigotine

Experimental: Rotigotine - - Titration Period: Weekly titration to the subject's optimal dose of Rotigotine between 2 mg/24 h and 8 mg/24 h. In case of intolerable Adverse Events (AEs) one back-titration is allowed during the Titration Period.

Duration of the Titration Period: Between 1 week and 5 weeks.

- Maintenance Period: Starts once subject reached either optimal or maximal dose of Rotigotine. Subjects receive stable dose of Rotigotine throughout the Maintenance Period. No back-titration is allowed during the Maintenance Period.

Duration of the Maintenance Period: Between 3 weeks and 7 weeks.


Treatment: Drugs: Rotigotine
Application of Rotigotine up to 8 mg/24 h patches for 24 hours.
