Principal inclusion criteria

1. Participant must be 30 years of age or older, at the time of signing the
informed consent.
2. Diagnosed with IPD by using the United Kingdom Parkinson's Disease
Society Brain Bank criteria for more than 5 years duration.
3. Receiving treatment with a stable dose of oral L-Dopa (including
controlled release [CR], immediate release [IR] or a combination of
CR/IR), with and without benserazide/carbidopa, with or without
addition of a catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor and may be
receiving concomitant treatment with stable doses of a dopamine
agonist, an anticholinergic and/or amantadine for at least 4 weeks prior
to the randomisation (baseline visit).

screening visit); the Investigator must consider chronic pain directly
related to PD and not explained by any other health problem (e.g.
peripheral neuropathy, organ disease or arthritis pain) OR consider the
intensity of chronic pain specifically aggravated by PD.
7. If taking regular analgesics, the treatment regimen should be stable
in the 4 weeks prior to the randomisation visit.
8. Able to maintain an accurate and complete electronic diary with the
help of a caregiver.

she is not pregnant (see Appendix 4), not breastfeeding, and at least one
of the following conditions applies:
i. Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) as defined in
Appendix 4
or
ii. A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance in

retinopathy, severe progressive diabetic retinopathy, inherited
retinopathy or family history of hereditary retinal disease.
8. Moderate or severe liver failure using the Child-Pugh classification
score.
9. History of drug and/or alcohol abuse within 12 months prior to
screening as defined by the current edition of the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
10. Allergy/sensitivity, intolerance or contraindications to Safinamide.
Prior/Concomitant Therapy
11. Treatment with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), levodopa infusion, pethidine, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine less than 4 weeks prior to the randomisation visit.
12. Use of any investigational drug or device within 30 days prior to screening or 5 half-lives, whichever is the longest.
13. Previous treatment with Safinamide in the 9 months before the screening visit
14. Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) total score <24 at screening.
15. NRS score ≤ 4 points at randomization visit.
16. Any clinically significant condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would not be compatible with study participation or represent a risk for participants while in the study.
