Primary Outcome(s)

Secondary Objective: - to study the change in subject’s clinical condition by CGI-C as judged by the investigator
- to study the change in subject’s clinical condition by change of Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) II (activity of daily living) and UPDRS III (motor disability)
- to investigate the QoL at baseline and the change from baseline at the end of the study by a QoL visual analogue scale (VAS)
- to study the effect of Stalevo® on motor and non-motor WO symptoms.
An additional objective is to study the change in the daily levodopa dose and the number of daily doses.
Primary end point(s): Switch-related efficacy from baseline assessed by the patient’s CGI-C at visit V5 (6 weeks)/premature discontinuation.
Main Objective: to provide efficacy data of the direct switch from levodopa/carbidopa or levodopa/benserazide to levodopa/carbidopa/entacapone (Stalevo®) by clinical global impression of change (CGI-C) as judged by the subject him/herself.
