Primary Outcome(s)
Secondary Objective: To assess if patients treated with pramipexole for 12 months (6 months in the previous DB trial 248.524 and then 6 months in the 248.633 trial) demonstrate less functional decline than patients whose treatment was delayed for 6 months (i.e. patients treated with placebo in the previous DB-trial 248.524).
To assess dose adjustments and effects on other efficacy criteria during long-term treatment with pramipexole ER.
Main Objective: To obtain long term safety and tolerability data on pramipexole ER in patients who have previously completed a pramipexole double-blind study in early PD (248.524 or 248.636 trial)
Primary end point(s): No primary efficacy endpoint is set up, because the primary objective of this trial is to obtain long-term safety and tolerability data.
