Long-Term Effect of Initiating Pramipexole vs Levodopa in Early Parkinson Disease
Arch Neurol 66:563-570, Parkinson Sutdy Group CALM Cohort Investigators, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The policies of initial pramipexole and initial levodopa use followed by open-label levodopa use resulted in similar self-reported disability 6 years after randomization. Persistent differences favoring initial pramipexole were seen in the rates of dopaminergic motor complications, with less severe somnolence favoring initial levodopa.
