Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Subject has idiopathic Parkinson's disease (early- or advanced-stage), as defined by the cardinal sign bradykinesia, plus the presence of at least one of the following: resting tremor, rigidity, or postural instability and is without any other known or suspected cause of Parkinsonism.
  • Subject is scheduled for an operation requiring general anesthesia.

Exclusion criteria

  • Subject has previously been treated with rotigotine.
  • Subject has a history of significant skin hypersensitivity to adhesives or other transdermals or recent unresolved contact dermatitis or has a known allergy or hypersensitivity to rotigotine or to other components of the patch.
  • Subject is scheduled for a surgical procedure (surgery per protocol(SPP)) that requires magnetic resonance imaging or cardioversion.
  • Subject has a high probability to require extended postoperative ventilation (> 24 hours).
  • Subject has any medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could jeopardize or compromise the subject's ability to participate in this trial.

Treatment and study plan

Rotigotine

Drug

2 mg/24 h, 4 mg/24 h, 6 mg/24 h and 8 mg/24 h patch;

Single patches and a combination of 2 of these patches for a dosage of up to 16 mg/24 h;

One (1) regimen on day of surgery, but exceptionally extended for up to 2 (two) weeks if the patient requires unexpected ventilation after surgery.

Primary outcomes

  1. Efficacy and Safety of Rotigotine Used During Surgery Under General Anaesthesia Assessed by Anaesthesiologist.

    Time frame: After subject wakes up from general anesthesia

    Questionnaire including 4 items Range of sum score: 4 to 24 Range of item scores: 1 (I agree completely) to 6 (I don't agree at all) Item 1: Patient did not show unexpected symptoms Item 2: Handling was simple Item 3: Handling wasn't time-consuming Item 4: Patch is a considerable option

  2. Efficacy and Safety of Rotigotine Used During Surgery Under General Anaesthesia Assessed by Neurologist.

    Time frame: 2 weeks after surgery

    Questionnaire including 4 items Range of sum score: 4 to 24 Range of item scores: 1 (I agree completely) to 6 (I don't agree at all) Item 1: Switch to patch was easily feasible Item 2: Re-switch was easily feasible Item 3: Patient did not show unexpected symptoms Item 4: Patch is a feasible option

  3. Efficacy and Safety of Rotigotine Used During Surgery Under General Anaesthesia Assessed by Patient.

    Time frame: 2 weeks after surgery

    Questionnaire including 3 items Range of sum score: 3 to 18 Range of item scores: 1 (I agree completely) to 6 (I don't agree at all) Item 1: Therapy with patch was easily feasible Item 2: Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease were well controlled Item 3: I felt safe with the Parkinson patch

Secondary outcomes

  1. Plasma Concentration of Rotigotine After Use.

    Time frame: 24 hours
