E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of safinamide (50-100 mg p.o., q. d.) in PD patients. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate changes in dyskinesia and health economic parameters in subjects that entered directly from the SETTLE-study |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
To be eligible for inclusion into this trial, subjects must fulfill all of the following criteria: 1.The subject has completed a previous clinical study with safinamide in PD, and; 2.The subject successfully completed all trial requirements of the antecedent trial, and; 3. For those patients for which this open label study is not yet available due to longer implementation of the study in the sites, the maximum time period off safinamide treatment is 12 months; NB: if the last visit of the antecedent study cannot be used as the baseline evaluation of the OL-study, a complete baseline examination must be performed. 4.If female, they must be either post menopausal for at least 2 years, surgically sterilized or have undergone hysterectomy or, if of child bearing potential they must be willing to avoid pregnancy by using an adequate method of contraception for four weeks prior to, during and four weeks after the last dose of study medication. For the purpose of this trial, women of childbearing potential are defined as all female subjects after puberty unless they are post-menopausal for at least two years, are surgically sterile or are sexually inactive, and; 5. Subjects must be willing and able to participate in the trial and provide written informed consent.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
To be eligible for inclusion in this trial the subjects must not satisfy any of the following criteria: 1.The subject experienced a clinically significant adverse effect to attributable to Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) during a previous trial that could put the subject at risk for further treatment with safinamide. 2.If female, the subject is pregnant or lactating. 3.Any medical issues, which have emerged since the initial clinical trial, that in the opinion of the investigator precludes a subject’s ability to participate in this open-label trial.
