- Subject is willing and able to comply with all trial requirements.
- Subject is male or female, =18 years of age and - Subjects with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (Hoehn and Yahr Stage I-IV; see

inhibitor (eg, selegiline), or an n-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist (eg,
amantadine), he/she must have been on a stable dose for at least 28 days prior
to the Baseline Visit and must be maintained on that dose for the duration of the
trial.
- Subject must understand the investigational nature of the trial and be willing and
able to comply with the trial requirements.

- Subject has participated in another trial of an investigational drug within the last
28 days or is currently participating in another trial of an investigational drug.

Primary Outcome(s)
Secondary Objective:
Main Objective: To assess the effect of rotigotine on the control of early morning motor impairment and sleep disorders in subjects with idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
Primary end point(s): Motor performance:
•Decrease in early morning motor impairment from Baseline to the end of
Maintenance as measured in the morning before patch application using the UPDRS
Part III (Motor Examination) score
•Change from Baseline to end of Maintenance in tapping rate as measured in the
morning before patch application
•Change from Baseline to end of Maintenance in standing-walking-turning test
before the morning patch application
•Improvement in nocturnal akinesia as measured by change from Baseline to end of
Maintenance in Nocturnal Akinesia Score

Sleep disorders:
•Change from Baseline to end of Maintenance in Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale
(PDSS)
•Change from Baseline to end of Maintenance in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)
•Change from Baseline to end of Maintenance in Nocturnal Akinesia, Dystonia, and
