Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Symptom Severity | International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group Rating Scale (IRLS) is psychometrically and clinically valid and reliable clinician-administered instrument used to assess the severity of RLS. It assesses RLS symptom severity and impact on daily living and is comprised of 10 items, scored on 0 to 4 scale, where lower score indicates lower symptom severity/impact on living. Two subscale scores are symptom severity (6 items) ranging from 0-24 (lower score indicates lower symptom severity) and impact on daily living (3 items) ranging from 0-12 (lower score indicates lower impact on living). Item 3 is unrelated to the other items. The global score is calculated from all 10 items, range from 0 to 40, where lower scores reflect lower severity and better quality of life. | Baseline | 
| Change From Baseline in the RLS Symptom Severity at Week 12 | IRLS is psychometrically and clinically valid and reliable clinician-administered instrument used to assess the severity of RLS. It assesses RLS symptom severity and impact on daily living and is comprised of 10 items, scored on 0 to 4 scale, where lower score indicates lower symptom severity/impact on living. Two subscale scores are symptom severity (6 items) ranging from 0-24 (lower score indicates lower symptom severity) and impact on daily living (3 items) ranging from 0-12 (lower score indicates lower impact on living). Item 3 is unrelated to the other items. The global score is calculated from all 10 items, range from 0 to 40, where lower scores reflect lower severity and better quality of life. | Baseline, Week 12 | 
| Percentage of Participants Responding to Treatment at Week 12 | CGI-I: 7-point clinician rated scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), or 3 (minimally improved) on the scale. Higher score = more affected. Responders were defined as participants who report CGI-I score of very much improved or much improved. | Week 12 | 
| Percentage of Participants With Augmentation | Augmentation was worsening of RLS symptoms, attributable to a specific long-term therapeutic intervention for RLS. Percentage of participants with augmentation was evaluated by centralized evaluation board using a set of assessment criteria for potential augmentation which included structured interview for diagnosis of augmentation during RLS treatment (SIDA-RLS), augmentation severity rating scale (ASRS), clinical judgment. ASRS measures severity of augmentation and consist of three items to be completed by clinician. Clinician would score participants' answers by comparing post-baseline evaluations to those at baseline. ASRS total score range: 0-24, with higher score indicating more severe augmentation. | Baseline up to Week 52 |

| RLS-Next Day Impact (RLS-NDI) | The RLS-NDI is a participant-rated instrument designed to assess daytime performance as related to RLS and the participant's previous night's sleep. The instrument consists of 14 items that encompass 5 domains: tiredness; emotional functioning; social functioning; cognitive functioning; and activities of daily living. There is also 1 global item assessing overall well -being. Each item is scored on a 0-10 numeric rating scale. Total score is the sum of scores from question 1 to 14.

| Change From Baseline in Limb Pain-VAS at Week 12 | 100 mm line (VAS) marked by participant. Intensity of pain range (over past week): 0 mm = no pain to 100 mm = worst possible pain. Change = observation mean minus baseline mean. | Baseline, Week 12 | 
| Severity of Augmentation Symptoms at Week 12 | ASRS measures severity of augmentation and consist of three items to be completed by clinician. Clinician would score participants' answers by comparing post-baseline evaluations to those at baseline. ASRS total score range: 0-24, with higher score indicating more severe augmentation. | Week 12 | 
| Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) at Week 12 | CGI-S: 7-point clinician rated scale to assess severity of participant's current illness state; range: 1 (normal-not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill participants). Higher score = more affected. | Week 12 |

Sleep adequacy data was reported at week 12 and not for first 12 weeks (average). Subscale scores range: 0-100; exception quantity of sleep (range 0-24 hours). With exception of sleep quantity and sleep adequacy, higher scores reflect poorer sleep outcomes. | Week 12 |

Optimal sleep subscale scores range: 0-1; Optimal sleep = 1 if 'Average hours sleep' = 7 or 8, is 0 if 'Average hours sleep' is non-missing and less than 7, and is missing if 'Average hours sleep' is missing. Higher scores reflect better sleep outcomes. | Week 12 | 
| Profile of Mood State (POMS) at Week 12 | POMS are participant-rated instrument comprising 6 sub-scales (tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, vigor-activity, fatigue-inertia, and confusion-bewilderment) and each subscale comprising 5 items, on 'How you feel right now?' (Scale: 0=not at all, 1=a little, 2=moderately, 3=quite a bit, 4=extremely). All items were rated in the same direction except for vigor-activity. A total score is obtained for each scale.

| Restless Legs Syndrome-Quality of Life Scale (RLS-QoL) at Week 12 | RLS QoL: Participant rated instrument used to assess the impact of RLS on quality of life and health status function (symptom severity, daily activity, social functioning, sleep, concentrating and decision making, traveling, sexual activity, and work) yielding a summary score ranging from 0-100. Higher scores reflect better quality of life. | Week 12 | 
| Medical Outcomes Study-Short Form 36 (SF-36) at Week 12 | SF-36 is a standardized survey evaluating 8 aspects of functional health and well being (physical and social functioning, physical and emotional role limitations, bodily pain, general health, vitality, mental health); 2 summary scores (physical and mental component); and self evaluated change in health status (summary of health status). The score for subscale scores and 2 summary score is an average of the individual question scores, which are scaled 0-100 (100=highest level of functioning). Summary of health status is a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0=much worse now to 4=much better now. Higher subscale and summary score reflect better health status. | Week 12 | 
| Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: Specific Health Problem (WPAI-SHP) at Week 12 | WPAI: 6 question participant rated questionnaire to determine degree to which SHP affected work productivity while at work and outside of work. Four scores are derived: percentage of absenteeism and presenteeism (reduced productivity while at work), overall work impairment score combining absenteeism and presenteeism, percentage of impairment in activities performed outside of work. Score range: 0 (not affected/no impairment) to 10 (completely affected/impaired). WPAI outcomes expressed as impairment percentages with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity. | Week 12 |
