A Multicenter, Open-Label, 2-Group, Dose Escalation Study of Monotherapy Administration of Rotigotine in Pediatric Subjects With Idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome
This was a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation, Phase 2A study with multiple
administrations of the rotigotine transdermal system. The study was conducted in adolescent
subjects (13 to <18 years of age) with idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).
