Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Post-conversion From Ropinirole IR to Ropinirole CR Over Period
Up to 5 weeks

AE is an unfavorable change in the health of a participant, including abnormal laboratory findings, that happens during a clinical study or within a certain time period after the study has ended. This change may or may not be caused by the intervention being studied. In each of the 6 cohorts, there were 2 conversions, one of which was IR to CR-RLS and the other one IR to IR. Two populations were defined: the first conversion population and the second conversion population. The first conversion population consisted of all participants receiving at least one dose of randomized drug during the pre-conversion 1 period and during the post-conversion 1 period. The second conversion population consisted of all participants receiving at least one dose of randomized drug during the pre-conversion 2 period and during the post-conversion 2 period.

Secondary Endpoints

Frequently asked questions about ropinirole IR

What is ropinirole IR used for?

Ropinirole IR is used to treat Restless Legs Syndrome, a neurological condition that causes an uncontrollable urge to move the legs. It is an immediate-release small molecule formulation developed by GSK plc. The drug is studied in adults 18 years and older.

What does ropinirole IR target?

Ropinirole IR targets the dopamine receptors DRD2, DRD3, and DRD4, where it acts as an agonist. By stimulating these receptors, it is designed to address the symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome. This receptor activity is the basis of its use in Neurology.

Who makes ropinirole IR?

Ropinirole IR is developed by GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK. The company is responsible for the clinical development of the immediate-release formulation for Restless Legs Syndrome.

What phase is ropinirole IR in?

Ropinirole IR is in Phase 3 clinical development for Restless Legs Syndrome. It is an investigational small molecule and is not stated to be approved. The Phase 3 trial has been completed, and no active trials are currently listed.

What clinical trials is ropinirole IR in?

Ropinirole IR has been studied in one Phase 3 trial, NCT00256854, titled Converting From Ropinirole Immediate Release (IR) To Ropinirole Controlled-Release for RLS. The trial enrolled 135 participants in the United States, was randomized and controlled, and has been completed.
