Clinical Trial Summary

This will be a prospective, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study, in participants with PD who are on a stable regimen of dopaminergic medication and have at least mild levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Eligible participants will be randomized to one of three treatment groups to receive adjunctive daily treatment with either safinamide 100 mg, safinamide 150 mg or placebo in a 1:1:1 ratio. Outcome will be assessed after 26 weeks of treatment.

Description:

Trial participation will be up to a maximum duration of 32 weeks and will comprise:

• Screening period (up to 4 weeks) for screening assessments;

• Two weeks titration period: participants randomized to the 100 mg study arm will receive 100 mg during Week 1 and throughout the rest of the study; participants randomized to the 150 mg study arm will receive 100 mg during Weeks 1 and 2 , and 150 mg from Week 3 and throughout the rest of the study; participants randomized to the placebo arm will receive identical placebo tablets.

• Twenty-four weeks maintenance period during which patients receive their randomized treatment as an adjunct to their standard anti-PD medications, which should remain unaltered. End of treatment evaluations will be performed at the end of Week 26 or at early discontinuation

• A telephone follow-up call will be performed 2 weeks after the end of treatment to assess adverse events and concomitant medications

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Assess the effect of two doses of safinamide on reducing levodopa-induced dyskinesia	Change from Baseline to Week 26 in levodopa-induced dyskinesia based on UDysRS total score. The UDysRS is a dyskinesia rating scale from 0-104; it evaluates involuntary movements associated with PD. A higher score indicates more severe PD	26 weeks
Secondary	Assess the effect of two doses of safinamide on ON time with No Dyskinesia	Change from Baseline (Day 1 prior to start of study intervention) to Week 26 total daily ON time with No dyskinesia based on PD Home Diary. A PD home diary is used to score 5 different conditions : ASLEEP, OFF, ON (ie, had adequate control of PD symptoms) without dyskinesia, ON with non-troublesome dyskinesia, and ON with troublesome dyskinesia.	26 weeks
Secondary	Assess the effect of two doses of safinamide on ON time with non-troublesome dyskinesia	Change from Baseline (48 hours prior to Day 1) to Week 26 based on PD Home Diary in total daily ON time with non-troublesome dyskinesia. A PD home diary is used to score 5 different conditions : ASLEEP, OFF, ON (ie, had adequate control of PD symptoms) without dyskinesia, ON with non-troublesome dyskinesia, and ON with troublesome dyskinesia.	26 weeks
Secondary	Assess the effect of two doses of safinamide on ON time with troublesome dyskinesia	Change from Baseline (48 hours prior to Day 1) to Week 26 based on PD Home Diary in total daily ON time with troublesome dyskinesia.

Secondary	To assess the effect of two doses of safinamide on ON time with any dyskinesia (troublesome or non-troublesome)	Change from Baseline (48 hours prior to Day 1) to Week 26 based on PD Home Diary in total daily ON time with any dyskinesia (troublesome or non-troublesome). A PD home diary is used to score 5 different conditions : ASLEEP, OFF, ON (ie, had adequate control of PD symptoms) without dyskinesia, ON with non-troublesome dyskinesia, and ON with troublesome dyskinesia.	26 weeks
Secondary	To assess the effect of two doses of safinamide on sleep time	Change from Baseline (48 hours prior to Day 1) to Week 26 based on PD Home Diary in total daily sleep time. A PD home diary is used to score 5 different conditions : ASLEEP, OFF, ON (ie, had adequate control of PD symptoms) without dyskinesia, ON with non-troublesome dyskinesia, and ON with troublesome dyskinesia.	26 weeks

The MDS-UPDRS is divided into 4 parts. In each part, all items are rated on a scale from 0 (normal) to 4 (severe impairment); Part I assesses 15 items of non-motor aspects of experiences of daily living; Part II comprises 13 items evaluating the impact of PD on patients' activities of daily living (ADL) over the week prior to the visit such as speech, salivation, swallowing, eating, handwriting, dressing, turning in bed, walking; part III assesses the motor abilities in PD patients at the time of the visit; Part IV assesses motor complications of therapy, such as dyskinesias, motor fluctuations.	26 weeks
Secondary	To assess the effect of two doses of safinamide on Clinician Global Impression of Change (CGIc)	Clinician Global Impression of Change (CGIc) at Week 26. CGI-C is a 7-point scale used by Investigator to rate patient's overall improvement using a range of responses from 1 (very much improved) through to 7 (very much worse).	26 weeks
Secondary	To assess the effect of two doses of safinamide on Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIc)	Patient Global Impression of Change (CGIc) at Week 26. PGI-C is a 7-point scale depicting a patient's rating of overall improvement using a range of responses from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).	26 weeks
Secondary	To assess the effect of two doses of safinamide on PDQ-39 summary index	Change from Baseline (Day 1 prior to start of study intervention) to Week 26 in PDQ-39 summary index. The PDQ-39 is a specific tool to assess quality of life in PD. Comprises 39 items divided into eight dimensions: mobility, activities of daily living (ADLs), emotional well-being, stigma, social support, cognition, communication and physical discomfort, where scores range from 0-100, with the higher, the worse the perception of quality of life.	26 weeks
