Discuss the differences between efficаcy аnd effectiveness when it cоmes tо reseаrch study designs. Include sоme discussion on how one would design a study looking at efficacy of a treatment approach more than effectiveness? Contrast this with how one would design a study to look more at effectiveness than efficacy. What impact does the study design have on validity (internal vs external validity)?

Article Evaluation of rotigotine transdermal patch for the treatment of apathy and motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease. Authors Robert A Hauser, Jaroslaw Slawek, Paolo Barone, Elisabeth Dohin, Erwin Surmann, Mahnaz Asgharnejad, and Lars Bauer. Abstract Background This multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessed the efficacy of rotigotine transdermal patch on apathy and motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods Patients with PD-associated apathy (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale [UPDRS] I item 4 [motivation] ≥2 and patient-rated Apathy Scale [AS] ≥14) were randomized 1:1:1 to "low-dose" rotigotine (≤6 mg/24 h for early PD [those not receiving levodopa] or ≤8 mg/24 h for advanced PD [those receiving levodopa]), "high-dose" rotigotine (≤8 mg/24 h for early PD or ≤16 mg/24 h for advanced PD), or placebo, and maintained at optimal/maximal dose for 12 weeks. Coprimary efficacy variables were: change from baseline to End of Maintenance in patient-rated AS and UPDRS II + III total score. Recruitment was stopped after an interim futility analysis; therefore, all p values are exploratory. Results Of 122 patients randomized, 81.1 % completed the study (placebo, n = 32/40 [80.0 %]; low-dose rotigotine, n = 30/41 [73.2 %]; high-dose rotigotine, n = 37/41 [90.2 %]). No treatment difference was observed in the change in patient-rated AS (least squares mean [95 % confidence interval (CI)] difference: low-dose, 0.04 [-2.42, 2.50], p =0.977; high-dose, -0.22 [-2.61, 2.18], p = 0.859). Rotigotine improved UPDRS II + III total scores versus placebo (least squares mean [95 % CI] treatment difference: low-dose, -7.29 [-12.30, -2.28], p = 0.005; high-dose, -6.06 [-10.90, -1.21], p = 0.015), and the "mood/apathy" domain of the Non-Motor Symptom Scale as rated by the investigator (secondary outcome). The most frequent adverse events in rotigotine-treated patients were application site reactions, somnolence, and nausea. Conclusion Rotigotine did not improve PD-associated apathy as rated by the patient but provided clinically relevant improvement in motor control and activities of daily living.
