Abstract
AIMS: To investigate the safety and tolerability of pardoprunox (SLV308), a novel partial dopamine agonist, as an adjunct to levodopa in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease, using two titration schedules. METHODS: Patients were randomized to pardoprunox (n = 51) or placebo (n = 11). Pardoprunox was titrated to the highest tolerated dose (range, 0.3-42 mg/day) over 7 weeks, using a gradual dose escalation without intermediate steps (group 1) or with intermediate steps (group 2). RESULTS: The cumulative drop-out rate was greater in group 1 (without intermediate steps, 56.0%) than in group 2 (with intermediate steps, 34.6%), or with placebo (9.1%). In group 2, doses up to 18 mg/day were well tolerated with a cumulative drop-out rate of 7.7% (2/26) and a drop-out rate due to adverse events of 4.0% (1/26). The most common adverse events reported were nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness. There was a trend for reduced OFF time (p = 0.054) in the combined pardoprunox group compared to placebo. CONCLUSIONS: The pardoprunox safety and tolerability profile as an adjunct to levodopa was improved using a gradual titration schedule that included intermediate dose steps. Using this titration, doses up to 18 mg/day were well tolerated.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
