Descriptive 
This is a Phase IV, international, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study 
in IPD patients, experiencing motor fluctuations and PD related chronic pain while on stable doses 
of levodopa (L-Dopa). 
Participants will be randomized 2: 1 to receive either active or placebo. 
Number of Participants: 
Up to 132 participants will be screened to achieve approximately 105 randomly assigned to study 
intervention and 84 evaluable participants for an estimated total of 56 and 28 evaluable participants 
in the active and placebo group respectively. 
Intervention Groups and Duration: 
Study participation will be up to a maximum duration of 19 weeks and will comprise a screening 
period (1 to 2 weeks) and a treatment period (16 weeks). A telephone follow-up call will be 
performed 1 week after the end of treatment. 
At baseline (Visit 2, Day 1), eligible participants will enter the treatment period and will receive 
study medication 50 mg (from Day 1 to Day 7) and then 100 mg (from Day 8 onwards), to be 
taken orally once daily (od). Following completion of all baseline assessments, they will receive 
the first dose of study medication at the study center. Thereafter, study drug will be taken, at home, 
each morning along with their first morning dose of L-Dopa and other (if any) PD medications. 
On Day 8 the dose of study drug will be increased, at home, to 100 mg od. Each subject will receive 
treatment for 16 weeks, with visits at Week 0/Day 1 (baseline) and at Weeks 4, 8 and 16 ( or early 
termination).

Introduction 
Safinamide is an alpha-aminoamide derivative, structurally unrelated to any other drug for the 
treatment of PD. 
Safinamide has both dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic activities. It is a potent, selective and 
reversible MAO-B inhibitor, a mechanism associated with enhancement of dopaminergic 
transmission in the brain. Safinamide is also a state-dependent inhibitor of voltage-gated sodium 
channels and, at higher concentrations, inhibits calcium channels. These molecular mechanisms 
act in animal models of PD to increase brain dopamine, extend L-Dopa induced ON-time 
(dopaminergic actions) and reduce the severity of L-Dopa induced dyskinesia (non-dopaminergic 
action). 
It is suggested that dopaminergic effects through selective and reversible inhibition of MAO-B, 
and non-dopaminergic 
effects through state dependent inhibition of voltage-gated 
sodium 
channels, are likely to be the principal relevant mechanisms for therapeutic activity in PD. 
Safinamide (50mg and 100mg) has been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and 
FDA for the treatment of mid- to late-stage fluctuating PD patients as add-on therapy to L-Dopa 
(alone or in combination with other anti-Parkinson drugs). 
2.1. 
Study Rationale 
Pain is a frequent non-motor symptom of PD, often underestimated and inadequately treated, with 
a significant impact on patients' quality of life. 
There 
is growing 
evidence 
that motor complications 
and pain may 
share common 
pathophysiologic mechanisms that include not only dopaminergic but also non-dopaminergic 
systems dysfunction, such as glutamatergic hyperactivity. 
Results from a post-hoe analysis of the pooled data of two Phase III studies (016 and SETTLE) 
indicate that safinamide 100 mg/day significantly reduced in fluctuating PD patients the individual 
use of pain treatments by about 24% and improved two out of three items of the Parkinson's 
Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (PDQ-39) related to pain (Cattaneo et al. 2017). 
Therefore, drugs that modulate glutamate release, such safinamide, may be a further option for the 
treatment of PD chronic pain. 
2.2. 
Background 
IPD is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by the loss of neuromelanin containing neurons 
in the substantia nigra. Depletion of the dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra results in 
dopamine reduction, which is the main biochemical abnormality. 
The main symptoms of IPD are resting tremor, bradykinesia and rigidity. The disease is also 
associated with non motor symptoms such as mood disorders and pain (Chaudhuri et al. 2009). 
The incidence of IPD increases with age, with incidence rates in the general population increasing 
from 0.3 per 1,000 person-years in participants aged 55 to 65 years, to 4.4 per 1,000 person-years 
for those aged 2':85 years (De Lau et al. 2004).

Amendment: 2 - AUS GER IT A ESP 
Date: 27th October 2020 
Levodopa (L-Dopa) remains the most effective therapy for IPD, but is associated with treatment 
complications such as motor fluctuations, wearing off phenomena and dyskinesia. As the disease 
progresses, the majority of participants will require therapies combining L-Dopa and with other 
agents which increase local dopamine concentrations or the efficacy of endogenous dopamine, 
such as adjunct dopamine agonists and/or MAO-B inhibitors. The demonstration of an anti-
dyskinetic effect of the glutamate antagonist amantadine opened the door for novel non-
dopaminergic approaches to PD therapy. 
2.3. 
Benefit/Risk Assessment 
The patient in active drug may benefit in reduction of pain medication's intake. 
In terms of risk, safinamide is approved by both EMA and FDA. 
When drawing blood samples, bruising might occur. 
A detailed description of the chemistry, pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of safinamide is 
provided in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).

Study Design 
Overall Design 
Version: 3.0 
Date: 27th October 2020 
• 
International, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. 
• 
Two treatment groups, active & placebo, randomized 2: 1. 
• 
Up to 132 participants will be screened, of which approximately 105 will be enrolled, to 
have 84 evaluable participants (56 active: 28 placebo). 
• 
Study consists of two periods, screening (1-2 weeks) and a treatment period (16 weeks), 
with a follow-up call at 1 week after treatment, total duration 19 weeks. 
• 
Study medication consists of active and matching placebo, presented in identical wallets, 
and during the first week of the treatment period participants will start with 50 mg dose for 
1 week, before taking 100 mg which should contribute to maintaining the blind. 
• 
Participants have a diagnosis of IPD (according to United Kingdom Parkinson's Disease 
Society Brain Bank criteria for at least 5 years), Hoehn and Yahr stage between 2-3 
inclusive during the "ON" phase, experiencing motor fluctuations while on stable doses of 
L-Dopa (with or without benserazide/carbidopa, with or without addition of a catechol 0-
methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor) and may be on stable doses of other PD medications 
(a dopamine agonist, an anticholinergic and/or amantadine), yet are experiencing chronic 
PD related pain. 
4.2. 
Scientific Rationale for Study Design 
The guideline on clinical investigation of medicinal products in the treatment of Parkinson's 
Disease (EMA/CHMP/330418/2012 rev. 2 dated 21 June 2012), paragraph "Symptomatic relief in 
patients with Parkinson's Disease on L-Dopa+", recommends performing placebo-controlled 
double-blind studies, in order to establish unequivocal safety and efficacy data in this patient 
population, as follows: "In patients with some form of advanced PD the test drug may be given as 
adjunctive to L-Dopa+. These patients may suffer from an insufficient control of motor symptoms 
despite treatment with L-Dopa+ or may suffer from dose dependent or non -dose dependent motor 
fluctuations. 
The use of placebo in addition to background standard of care (SoC) therapy in this study is based 
on the ICH Topic E 10 guideline on the "Choice of control group in clinical trials" 
(CPMP/ICH/364/96) and is in accordance with the EMA position for "Use of placebo in clinical 
trials with regard to the revised Declaration of Helsinki" (EMEA/17424/01). 
As for participants who experience periodic worsening of their chronic pain during treatment or 
follow-up periods of the study, they may take PRN medications. 
4.3. 
Justification for Dose 
The dose of 100 mg/day (titrated from 50 mg/day after 1 week) was selected based on the results 
of the previous studies in PD patients and from the results of the post-hoe analysis on the effects 
of safinamide on pain.

Measures to Minimize Bias: Randomization and Blinding 
At screening, each participant who has signed an informed consent form and is screened will be 
allocated, by the IWRS, a screening number comprising the prefix 'xx' where xx is the unique site 
number and a 3-digit number representing the sequential order in which they are screened, e.g. 01-
001, 01-002, 02-001 etc. 
Participants who meet all criteria for enrolment will be randomised to double-blind treatment in a 
2: 1 ratio either to safinamide or placebo at visit 2 ( day 1) 
Investigators will be able to randomise participants using a web-based interactive web response 
system (IWRS) which is fully integrated within the eCRF. 
The IWRS will allocate a unique medication kit number which will consist of a 4-digit number 
starting with 1001, 1002, etc. 
Study using 
IWRS 
Blind Break 
(IVRS/IWRS) 
© 2018 Zambon SpA 
All participants will be centrally assigned to randomized study intervention using 
an Interactive Web Response System IWRS). Before the study is initiated, the log 
in information & directions for the IWRS will be provided to each site. 
Study intervention will be dispensed at the study visits summarized in SoA. 
Returned study intervention should not be re-dispensed to the participants. 
The IWRS will be programmed with blind-breaking instructions. 
In case of an emergency, the investigator has the sole responsibility for 
determining ifunblinding ofa participants's treatment assignment is warranted. 
Participant safety must always be the first consideration in making such a 
determination. If the investigator decides that unblinding is warranted, the 
investigator should make every effort to contact the sponsor prior to unblinding 
a participant's treatment assignment unless this could delay emergency 
treatment of the participant. If a participant's treatment assignment is unblinded, 
the sponsor must be notified within 24 hours after breaking the blind. The date 
and reason that the blind was broken must be recorded in the source 
documentation and case report form, as applicable.

Study Intervention Compliance 
The prescribed dosage, timing and mode of administration of study medication may not be 
changed. 
Study medication accountability and subject compliance will be documented throughout the 
treatment period using study-specific study medication dispensing and return record forms. 
Participants will be asked to return all unused medication. From Visits 3 to 5 (weeks 4 to 16), the 
study medication dispensed at the previous visit will be retrieved by the Investigator and 
compliance assessed by tablet count. 
Non-compliance is defined as taking less than 80% of study medication during any visit-to-visit 
evaluation period. 
Participants exhibiting non-compliance will be reminded about the importance of being compliant 
with the study dosing regimen. 
6.5. 
Concomitant Therapy 
Any medication or vaccine (including over-the-counter or prescription medicines, vitamins, and/or 
herbal supplements) that the participant is receiving at the time of enrollment or receives during 
the study will be recorded along with: 
• 
Reason for use. 
• 
Dates of administration including start and end dates. 
• 
Dosage information including dose and frequency. 
In particular, all pain medication taken on a PRN basis ( e.g. paracetamol, up to a maximum of 
4,000mg/day; NSAIDs) will be recorded in the dedicated section of eCRF. 
In addition, patients will continue to use their regular non PRN pain medication, if taken, ( e.g. 
oxycodone, codeine, botulinum toxin, gabapentin, nortriptyline, muscle relaxants, analgesics) 
which should remain stable from the 4 weeks prior to randomization visit and at least for the first 
4 weeks of the study. 
If the patient is using a combination analgesic that contains paracetamol, extreme caution 
must be exercised in the use of PRN medications containing paracetamol, so as not to exceed 
a paracetamol total daily dose of 4000 mg (see section 6.5.2) 
Medical Monitor should be contacted if there are any questions regarding concomitant or prior 
therapy.

Participant Discontinuation/Withdrawal from the Study 
• 
A participant may withdraw from the study at any time at his/her own request, or may be 
withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the investigator for safety, behavioral, 
compliance, or administrative reasons. 
• 
If the participant withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the sponsor may 
retain and continue to use any data collected before such a withdrawal of consent. 
• 
If a participant withdraws from the study, he/she may request destruction of any samples 
taken and not tested, and the investigator must document this in the site study records.

Participants who are withdrawn from the study will not be replaced. 
In the event that a subject discontinues from the study prematurely due to an AE or SAE, they will 
be followed until the event has resolved (returns to normal or baseline values) or has stabilised. 
The reason for withdrawal of a subject from the study must be fully documented in the eCRF as 
well in source documents. 
Any major or critical deviation which may have an impact on study results and or safety of the 
participants should be immediately reported to Sponsor/CRO and notified to Regulatory 
Authorities (EC/CA) according to local regulations. A decision will be taken by the Sponsor, after 
consultation with the medical monitor as to whether or not the subject affected by the departure 
from the protocol, is to continue in the study. A deviation log will be maintained to track actual 
deviations and decisions taken, including all deviations occurred. 
7.3. 
Lost to Follow Up 
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she repeatedly fails to return for 
scheduled visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site. 
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the clinic for a required study 
visit: 
• 
The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit as soon as 
possible and counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the assigned visit 
schedule and ascertain whether or not the participant wishes to and/or should continue in 
the study.

8.1. 
Efficacy Assessments 
Site personnel who are to be involved in performing the efficacy assessments must be experienced 
in the use of the various scales and questionnaires. 
To ensure consistency of ratings on each efficacy measure for each participant during the study, 
the same rater should perform the assessments where possible. 
Wherever possible the NRS, part 1B and II of the MDS-UPDRS, the HADS and the PGI-C 
should be completed by the participant. However, in the case of the participant's incapacity, for 
example due to dyskinesia, tremor, etc., the participant's caregiver may complete the NRS, part 
1B and II of the MDS-UPDRS, the HADS and the PGI-C based on information reported by the 
participant. 
The following parameters are to be completed by the rater: 
• 
MDS-UPDRS (part IA, III and IV). 
• 
CGI-S. 
• 
CGI-C. 
8.1.1. 
Pain Assessments 
The primary efficacy endpoint for the study is the mean change in pain severity ("average pain 
experienced in the last 7 days"), as assessed by an 11-point NRS, from baseline to week 16. 
Pain severity data will be derived from the daily diary. 
Daily Diary 
An electronic diary will be completed daily by each participant as follows: 
• 
to record the PD pain score at screening (Visit 1 ), by completion of an 11-point NRS, to 
confirm eligibility 
• 
the NRS score is calculated over 7 consecutive days immediately prior to baseline (Visit 2/Day 
1) and Visits 3, 4 and 5-/EOT/ET (Weeks 4, 8 and 16), completion of an 11-point NRS, to 
allow for the assessment of the average pain experienced in the last 7 days during which patient 
records on a daily basis the most severe pain using an 11-point NRS. 
• 
on a daily basis from baseline onwards, an accurate record of the use of PRN pain medication 
for PD-associated pain (Section 10.1.6.2).

Daily Diary Training 
At the screening visit, the Investigator ( or other trained, qualified personnel) will reinforce 
recognition of PD-related chronic pain, as well as the use of the daily diary. 
On each visit, the Investigator will instruct the participant to complete the daily diary at home for 
the 7 consecutive days immediately prior to the next visit. 
Participants will record the intensity of their PD-associated pain, as the worst pain experienced 
over the past 24 hours, (from O [no pain] to 10 [worst possible pain]) using an 11-point NRS. Pain 
intensity should be recorded if possible, in the evening before going to sleep. If the subject suffered 
from more than 1 PD-associated pain, the more severe pain will be documented. 
8.2. 
Safety Assessments 
Planned time points for all safety assessments are provided in the SoA. 
8.2.1. 
Physical Examinations 
• 
A complete physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the general 
appearance, head, ears, eyes, nose, throat, neck, skin, cardiovascular system, respiratory 
system, abdominal system and nervous system. 
• 
Investigators should pay special attention to clinical signs related to previous serious 
illnesses. 
8.2.2. 
Vital Signs 
Blood pressure and heart rate will be assessed in the supine position with a completely automated 
device. Manual techniques will be used only if an automated device is not available. 
Measurement should be preceded by at least 5 minutes of rest for the participant in a quiet setting 
without distractions ( e.g., television, cell phones). 
8.2.3. 
Cognitive Impairment 
Participants will be evaluated for cognitive impairment using the MMSE. The MMSE (Folstein et 
al, 1975) is a brief practical screening test for cognitive dysfunction. The test consists of 5 sections 
( orientation, registration, attention and calculation, recall, and language) and has a total possible 
score of 30. It will be used as a quick method to assess the severity of cognitive dysfunction. The 
MMSE will be used for screening participants (a total score< 24 is exclusionary).

Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments 
• 
See Appendix 2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and to the SoA for 
the timing and frequency. 
• 
The investigator must review the laboratory repmi, document this review, and record any 
clinically relevant changes occurring during the study both in the appropriate section of 
eCRF study's visit and in the AE section of the eCRF. The laboratory reports must be filed 
with the source documents. Clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings are those 
which are not associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the investigator to 
be more severe than expected for the subject's condition. 
• 
All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal during 
participation in the study or within 2 weeks after the last dose of study intervention should 
be repeated until the values return to normal or baseline or are no longer considered 
clinically significant by the investigator or medical monitor. 
8.2.5. 
o If such values do not return to normal/baseline within a period of time judged 
reasonable by the investigator, the etiology should be identified and the sponsor 
notified. 
o All protocol-required laboratory assessments, as defined in Appendix 2, must be 
conducted in accordance with the laboratory manual and the SoA. 
o If laboratory values from non-protocol specified laboratory assessments performed 
at the institution's local laboratory require a change in participant management or 
are considered clinically significant by the investigator ( eg, SAE or AE or dose 
modification), then the results must be recorded in the CRF. 
Suicidal Risk Monitoring 
Not applicable. 
8.3. 
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
The definitions of an AE or SAE can be found in Appendix 3. 
AE will be reported by the subject ( or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or the 
participant's legally authorized representative). 
The investigator and any qualified designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and 
recording events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE and remain responsible for following 
up AEs that are serious, considered related to the study intervention or study procedures, or that 
caused the participant to discontinue the study (see Section 7) 
8.3.1. 
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE Information 
All (S)AEs will be collected from the signing of the informed consent form (ICF) until the follow-
up call at the time points specified in the SoA (Section 1.3).

CONFIDENTIAL 
Protocol Z7219M01 
Version: 3.0 
Amendment: 2 - AUS GER IT A ESP 
Date: 27th October 2020 
All SAEs will be recorded and reported to the sponsor or designee within 24 hours, as indicated in 
Appendix 3. The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the sponsor within 24hours of 
it being available. 
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek AE or SAE after conclusion of the study 
participation. However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at any time after 
a participant has been discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event to be reasonably 
related to the study intervention or study participation, the investigator must promptly notify the 
sponsor. 
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AE and SAE and the procedures 
for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Appendix 3. 
8.3.2. 
Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs 
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs and/or SAEs. Open-ended and 
non-leading verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to inquire about 
AE occurrences. 
8.3.3. 
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs 
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each participant 
at subsequent visits/contacts. All SAEs will be followed until resolution, stabilization, the event is 
otherwise explained, or the participant is lost to follow-up (as defined in Section 7 .3). Further 
information on follow-up procedures is given in Appendix 3. 
8.3.4. 
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs 
• 
Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of a SAE is essential so that legal 
obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of participants and the safety of 
a study intervention under clinical investigation are met. 
• 
The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and other 
regulatory agencies about the safety of a study intervention under clinical investigation. 
The sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements relating to safety 
reporting to the regulatory authority, Institutional Review Boards (IRB)/Independent 
Ethics Committees (IEC), and investigators. 
• 
Investigator safety reports must be prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions (SUSAR) according to local regulatory requirements and sponsor policy and 
forwarded to investigators as necessary. 
• 
An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing a SAE or other 
specific safety information ( e.g., summary or listing of SAEs) from the sponsor will review 
and then file it in the Investigator Study File and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate 
according to local requirements.

Pregnancy 
• 
Details of all pregnancies in female will be collected after the start of study intervention and 
until 1 month after the last dose of study drug 
• 
If a pregnancy is reported, the investigator should inform the sponsor within 24 hours of 
learning of the pregnancy and should follow the procedures outlined in Appendix 4. 
• 
Abnormal pregnancy outcomes ( e.g., spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, congenital 
anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAEs.

8.4. 
Treatment of Overdose 
The anticipated pattern of events or symptoms following intentional or accidental overdose with 
safinamide is that related to its pharmacodynamic profile (MAO-B inhibition with activity 
dependent inhibition of sodium channels). The symptoms of excessive MAO-B inhibition 
(increase in dopamine level) could include hypertension, postural hypotension, hallucinations, 
agitation, nausea, vomiting and dyskinesia. 
There is no known antidote to safinamide or any specific treatment for a safinamide overdose. If a 
significant overdose should occur, safinamide treatment should be discontinued and supportive 
treatment should be administered as clinically indicated. 
In the event of an overdose, the Investigator should: 
1. Contact the Medical Monitor immediately. 
2. Closely monitor the participant for any AE/SAE or laboratory abnormalities 
3. Obtain a plasma sample for PK analysis if requested by the Medical Monitor (determined 
on a case-by-case basis). 
4. Document the quantity of the excess dose as well as the duration of the overdose in the 
CRF. 
Decisions regarding dose interruptions or modifications will be made by the investigator in 
consultation with_the Medical Monitor based on the clinical evaluation of the participant.

Statistical Considerations 
Statistical Hypotheses 
Version: 3.0 
Date: 27th October 2020 
The null hypothesis is that safinamide is not able to reduce pain severity compared to placebo. 
9.2. 
Sample Size Determination 
On the basis of previous post-hoe analyses of pain (Cattaneo et al 2017) and of similar studies 
(Folstein et al, 1975), it is anticipated that a sample size of 144 participants would permit detection 
of a 1 point treatment difference in the NRS between safinamide and placebo assuming a standard 
deviation of 2, 5% significance and 80% power. A 1 point treatment difference is considered to be 
a clinically meaningful treatment effect (Rascal et al, 2016). 
Approximately 220 participants will be screened to achieve 177 randomly assigned to study 
intervention and of which approximately 144 participants complete the study (96 and 48 evaluable 
participants in the active and placebo group respectively). 
Since March 2020, the COVID-19 emergency has impacted the feasibility of the trial, which is 
being conducted in a vulnerable group of patients. Upon receipt of the guidance "Statistical 
Considerations for Clinical Trials During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency" issued by 
FDA on June 2020, released with the aim of helping sponsors ensure that trials conducted during 
the Covid-19 emergency could continue, where appropriate, to provide interpretable findings with 
correct statistical quantification of uncertainty, the Sponsor performed a Blind Data Review 
Analysis of the primary endpoint data (pain severity) for the 26 patients who had completed the 
study as of June 2020. 
The results of the analysis show that the standard deviation used in the original sample size 
estimation (SD = 2. was a conservative overestimate of the observed SD from the actual trial data, 
which is 1.43. 
Based on this, the Standard Deviation, for the estimation of sample size has now been amended to 
1.50, and the power has been maintained as 80%. New sample size estimates have been performed 
considering different magnitudes of Treatment Difference, but keeping the same assumptions of 
screen failure rates and drop out rates. These are summarized below in Table below

SCENARIO 
SAMPLE SIZE 
Power= 80% 
Pts to screen= 132 
Standard deviation= 1.5 
Pts to randomize= 105 
Treatment Difference = 1 point 
Pts completing study= 84 
Power= 80% 
Pts to screen= 66 
Standard deviation= 1.5 
Pts to randomize= 51 
Treatment Difference = 1.5 points 
Pts completing study= 39 
Power= 80% 
Pts to screen= 39 
Standard deviation= 1.5 
Pts to randomize= 30 
Treatment Difference = 2 points 
Pts completing study= 24 
It is now planned to keep the initial conservative estimate of treatment difference as 1 and change 
the SD to 1.5 in line with what was observed with the Blind Data Review Analysis. Using these 
parameters, up to 132 participants will be screened to achieve up to 105 randomized, to have 
approximately 84 patients complete the study ( 56 in the active and 28 in the placebo group 
respectively). 
However, given the continuous and uncertain impact that COVID-19 outbreak is having in the 
countries participating in the trial, any of other scenarios might be adopted if at the end of 
December 2020 the above enrollment goal will not be achieved. From the table above it can be 
seen that if the treatment difference is greater than 1, statistical significance can be achieved with 
a substantially lower sample size. Thus, the study maintains its robustness.

analysis set will be summarized according to the treatment they 
were randomly assigned to. 
Per Protocol 
The PP Set will be a subset of subjects in the FAS who completed 
the study and for whom no relevant protocol deviations were 
documented. Identification of relevant protocol deviations will 
occur on a blinded review meeting preceding database lock. A 
second analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint will be based on 
the PP Set. All subjects in the PP Set will be summarized 
according to the treatment they were assigned to. 
Safety 
The Safety Set will include all randomized subjects assigned to 
study intervention and who take at least 1 dose of study 
medication. The Safety Set will be used for the analysis of all 
safety endpoints. All subjects in the Safety Set will be 
summarized according to the treatment they actually received 
( according to the Drug Accountability eCRF page). 
The decision whether a protocol deviation is relevant or not for the exclusion of participants from 
the per protocol (PP) set will be made case-by-case in a blind data review meeting. 
The primary analysis of the primary efficacy variable will be based on the FAS data set. A 
secondary analysis of the primary efficacy parameter will be based on the PP set. 
All other secondary efficacy analyses will be based on the FAS. 
Safety analyses will be based on the safety analysis (SA) set. 
9.4. 
Statistical Analyses 
The statistical analysis plan will be developed and finalized before database lock and will describe 
the participant populations to be included in the analyses, and procedures for accounting for 
missing, unused, and spurious data. This section is a summary of the planned statistical analyses 
of the primary and secondary endpoints.

Primary efficacy endpoint 
The primary endpoint evaluated in this study is the mean change in pain severity ("average 
worst pain experienced in the last 7 days", i.e. average of the worst pain score on each of the 
7 days preceding the site visit), as assessed by an 11-point NRS, from baseline to Week 16. 
The primary efficacy endpoint, change from baseline to Week 16 in pain severity score, will 
be analyzed using a mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) using visit on subject ID as the 
repeated factor with unstructured covariance term. 
The model will include fixed effects terms for treatment, country, visit and regular pain 
medication use at baseline (yes or no) and covariate term for pain severity score at baseline. 
• 
Secondary efficacy endpoint 
Percentage of pain responders defined as subjects with reduction in pain severity of ~2 
points ("average worst pain experienced in the last 7 days"), at weeks 4, 8 and 16 as 
assessed by an 11-point NRS, compared to baseline; 
The pain severity score (average worst pain score using 11 point NRS scale) at weeks 4 
and 8; 
The Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) score at weeks 4, 8 and 16 (rated by 
Investigator); 
The change from baseline to Weeks 4, 8 and 16 in the Clinical Global Impression of 
Change (CGI-C) score rated by Investigator; 
The change from baseline to Weeks 4, 8 and 16 in the Patient Global Impression of Change 
(PGI-C) score rated by the subject; 
The percentage of subjects with a reduction in the number of days using concomitant pain 
drugs in the 7 days before each visit at Weeks 4, 8 and 16; 
The number of days with PRN pain medication in the 7 days before each visit at weeks 4, 
8 and 16; 
The change from baseline to week 16 in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale 
(HADS) score; 
The change from baseline to weeks 4, 8 and 16 in the Movement Disorder Society - Unified 
Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) (total score and subscores) during the 
"ON" phase; 
Percentage of pain responders defined as subjects with reduction in pain severity of ~2

Appendix 3: Adverse Events: Definitions and Procedures for 
Recording, Evaluating, Follow-up, and Reporting 
Definition of AE 
AE Definition 
• 
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, 
temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered 
related to the study intervention. 
• 
NOTE: An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally 
associated with the use of study intervention. 
Events Meeting the AE Definition 
• 
Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) or 
other safety assessments (eg, ECG, radiological scans, vital signs measurements), 
including those that worsen from baseline, considered clinically significant in the 
medical and scientific judgment of the investigator (ie, not related to progression of 
underlying disease). 
• 
Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an 
increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition. 
• 
New conditions detected or diagnosed after study intervention administration even 
though it may have been present before the start of the study. 
• 
Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected drug-drug interaction. 
• 
Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study 
intervention or a concomitant medication. Overdose per se will not be reported as an 
AE/SAE unless it is an intentional overdose taken with possible suicidal/self-harming 
intent. Such overdoses should be reported regardless of sequelae. 
• 
"Lack of efficacy" or "failure of expected pharmacological action" per se will not be 
reported as an AE or SAE. Such instances will be captured in the efficacy assessments. 
However, the signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae resulting from lack of efficacy 
will be reported as AE or SAE if they fulfil the definition of an AE or SAE. 
• 
The signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae resulting from lack of efficacy will be 
reported as AE or SAE if they fulfil the definition of an AE or SAE. Also, "lack of 
efficacy" or "failure of expected pharmacological action" also constitutes an AE or 
SAE.

CONFIDENTIAL 
Protocol Z7219M01 
Version: 3.0 
Amendment: 2 - AUS GER IT A ESP 
Date: 27th October 2020 
Events NOT Meeting the AE Definition 
• 
Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal safety 
assessments which are associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant's condition. 
• 
The disease/disorder being studied or expected progression, signs, or symptoms of the 
disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the participant's 
condition. 
• 
Medical or surgical procedure ( eg, endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that leads 
to the procedure is the AE. 
• 
Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital). 
• 
Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) present 
or detected at the start of the study that do not worsen. 
Definition of SAE 
If an event is not an AE per definition above, then it cannot be an SAE even if serious conditions 
are met ( eg, hospitalization for signs/symptoms of the disease under study, death due to 
progression of disease). 
A SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: 
a. 
Results in death 
b. 
Is life-threatening 
The term 'life-threatening' in the definition of 'serious' refers to an event in which the 
participant was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event, which 
hypothetically might have caused death, if it were more severe. 
c. 
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
In general, hospitalization signifies that the participant has been detained (usually 
involving at least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward for observation 
and/or treatment that would not have been appropriate in the physician's office or 
outpatient setting. Complications 
that occur during hospitalization 
are AEs. If a 
complication prolongs hospitalization or fulfills any other serious criteria, the event is 
serious. When in doubt as to whether "hospitalization" occurred or was necessary, the AE 
should be considered serious. 
Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not worsen from 
baseline is not considered an AE. 
d. 
Results in persistent disability/incapacity

Protocol Z7219M01

Date: 27th October 2020 
• 
The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person's ability to conduct 
normal life functions. 
• 
This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, influenza, 
and accidental trauma ( eg, sprained ankle) which may interfere with or prevent 
everyday life functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption. 
e. 
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
f. 
Other situations: 
• 
Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether SAE reporting 
is appropriate in other situations such as important medical events that may not be 
immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize 
the participant or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the 
other outcomes listed in the above definition. These events should usually be 
considered serious. 
Examples of such events include invasive or malignant cancers, intensive treatment in 
an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or 
convulsions that do not result in hospitalization, or development of drug dependency 
or drug abuse.

AE and SAE Recording 
• 
When an AE/SAE occurs, it is the responsibility of the investigator to review all 
documentation ( eg, hospital progress notes, laboratory reports, and diagnostics 
reports) related to the event. 
• 
The investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE information in the CRF . 
• 
It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the participant's medical 
records to CRO's Pharmacovigilance in lieu of completion of the AE/SAE CRF page. 
• 
There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are requested 
by the Medical Monitor or Pharmacovigilance. In this case, all participant identifiers, 
with the exception of the participant number, will be redacted on the copies of the 
medical records before submission to the requestor. 
• 
The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information. Whenever possible, the diagnosis (not 
the individual signs/symptoms) will be documented as the AE/SAE. 
Assessment of Intensity 
The investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported during 
the study and assign it to 1 of the following categories:

CONFIDENTIAL 
Protocol Z7219M01 
Version: 3. 0 
Amendment: 2 - AUS GER IT A ESP 
Date: 27th October 2020 
• 
Mild: An event that is easily tolerated by the participant, causing minimal discomfort 
and not interfering with everyday activities. 
• 
Moderate: An event that causes sufficient discomfort and interferes with normal 
everyday activities. 
• 
Severe: An event that prevents normal everyday activities. An AE that is assessed as 
severe should not be confused with a SAE. Severe is a category utilized for rating the 
intensity of an event; and both AEs and SAEs can be assessed as severe. 
An event is defined as 'serious' when it meets at least 1 of the predefined outcomes as 
described in the definition of an SAE, NOT when it is rated as severe. 
Assessment of Causality 
• 
The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study intervention and 
each occurrence of each AE/SAE. 
• 
A "reasonable possibility" of a relationship conveys that there are facts, evidence, 
and/or arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than a relationship cannot be 
ruled out. 
• 
The investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship. 
• 
Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other risk 
factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study intervention 
administration will be considered and investigated. 
• 
The investigator will also consult the Summary of Product Characteristics of 
Safinamide in his/her assessment. 
• 
For each AE/SAE, the investigator mus! document in the medical notes that he/she 
has reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality. 
• 
There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the investigator has 
minimal information to include in the initial report to Pharmacovigilance. However, it 
is very important that the investigator always make an assessment of causality 
for every event before the initial transmission of the SAE data to 
Pharmacovigilance. 
• 
The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up 
information and send a SAE follow-up report with the updated causality assessment. 
• 
The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory 
reporting requirements.

Follow-up of AEs and SAEs 
• 
The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by sponsor to 
elucidate the nature and/or causality of the AE or SAE as fully as possible. This may 
include additional laboratory tests or investigations, histopathological examinations, 
or consultation with other health care professionals. 
• 
If a participant dies during participation in the study or during a recognized follow-up 
period, the investigator will provide CRO's Pharmacovigilance with a copy of any 
post-mortem findings including histopathology. 
• 
New or updated information will be recorded in the originally completed CRF. 
• 
The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to pharmacovigilance within 24 
hours of receipt of the information. 
Reportin2 of SAEs 
SAE Reporting to Pharmacovigilance via an Electronic Data Collection Tool 
• 
The primary mechanism for reporting an SAE to Pharmacovigilance will be the 
electronic data collection tool. 
• 
If the electronic system is unavailable for more than 24 hours, then the site will use 
the paper SAE data collection tool (see next section). 
• 
The site will enter the SAE data into the electronic system as soon as it becomes 
available. 
• 
After the study is completed at a given site, the electronic data collection tool will be 
taken off-line to prevent the entry of new data or changes to existing data. 
• 
If a site receives a report of a new SAE from a study participant or receives updated 
data on a previously reported SAE after the electronic data collection tool has been 
taken off-line, then the site can report this information on a paper SAE form (see next 
section) or to the medical monitor by telephone. 
• 
Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the Investigator Study File.

Appendix 4: Contraceptive Guidance and Collection of Pregnancy 
Information 
Definitions: 
Woman of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP) 
A woman is considered fertile following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless 
permanently sterile (see below). 
Women in the following categories are not considered WOCBP 
1. Premenarchal 
2. Premenopausal female with 1 of the following: 
• 
Documented hysterectomy 
• 
Documented bilateral salpingectomy 
• 
Documented bilateral oophorectomy 
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel's: review of the participant's 
medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview. 
3. Postmenopausal female 
• 
A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative 
medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal 
range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal 
contraception or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). However, in the absence of 12 
months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient. 
• 
Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one 
of the non-estrogen hormonal highly effective contraception methods if they wish to 
continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow 
confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrollment. 
Contraception Guidance: 
Female participants 
Female participants of childbearing potential are eligible to participate if they agree to use a highly 
effective method of contraception consistently and correctly as described in Table 2.

inhibition of ovulation 
• Oral 
• Intravaginal 
• Transdermal 
Progestogen only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation 
• Oral 
• Injectable 
Highly Effective Methods That Are User Independent a 
Implantable progestogen only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation 
• Intrauterine device (IUD) 
• Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) 
• Bilateral tubal occlusion 
Vasectomized partner 
A vasectomized partner is a highly effective contraception method provided that the partner is 
the sole male sexual partner of the WOCBP and the absence of sperm has been confirmed. l.J 
not, an additional hi~hlv effective method of contraception should be used. 
Sexual abstinence 
Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from 
heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study intervention. 
The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the study 
and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. 
NOTES: 
a) Typical use failure rates may differ from those when used consistently and correctly. Use 
should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for 
participants participating in clinical studies.

Pregnancy Testing: 
• 
WOCBP should only be included after a confirmed menstrual period and a negative highly 
sensitive urine pregnancy test. 
• 
Pregnancy testing will be performed whenever a menstrual cycle is missed or when pregnancy 
is otherwise suspected 
Collection of Pregnancy Information: 
Female Participants who become pregnant 
• 
The investigator will collect pregnancy information on any female participant who becomes 
pregnant while participating in this study. Information will be recorded on the appropriate 
form and submitted to the sponsor within 24 hours of learning of a participant's pregnancy. 
The participant will be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. The investigator 
will collect follow-up information on the participant and the neonate and the information will 
be forwarded to the sponsor. Generally, follow-up will not be required for longer than 6 to 8 
weeks beyond the estimated delivery date. Any termination of pregnancy will be reported, 
regardless of fetal status (presence or absence of anomalies) or indication for the procedure. 
• 
While pregnancy itself is not considered to be an AE or SAE, any pregnancy complication or 
elective termination of a pregnancy will be reported as an AE or SAE. A spontaneous abortion 
is always considered to be an SAE and will be reported as such. Any post-study pregnancy 
related SAE considered reasonably related to the study intervention by the investigator will 
be reported to the sponsor as described in Section 8.3.4. While the investigator is not obligated 
to actively seek this information in former study participants, he or she may learn of an SAE 
through spontaneous reporting. 
• 
Any female participant who becomes pregnant while participating in the study will 
discontinue study intervention and be withdrawn from the study.

Appendix 10: Contingency Plan 
Zambon PAIN study Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) 
Contingency Plan - V7 - 07 April 2020 
Study Code: Z7219M01 
EUDRACT number: 2017-002426-20 
Background and Rationale 
CDC is closely monitoring an outbreak ofrespiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus 
(named "2019-nCoV") that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and which 
continues to expand. On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations Emergency 
Committee of the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a "public health emergency of 
international concern" and subsequently on March 11, 2020 the pandemic status has been declared. 
Corona viruses are a large family of viruses that are common in many different species of animals, 
including camels, cattle, cats, and bats. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then 
spread between people such as with MERS, SARS, and now with 2019-nCoV. 
In response to this outbreak, many restrictions have been implementing by government and health 
departments in the affected countries. These restrictions include but are not limited to the 
establishment of quarantine zones, recommended self-quarantine periods, and travel restrictions. 
To mitigate the impact of such restrictions on the conduct of these studies and ensure the safety 
and wellbeing of participating patients and investigator sites, as well support patient retention and 
maintain data integrity, the following plan has been created. 
1. 
Close monitoring of the contingency and monitoring activities 
In the agenda of the study regular calls between Zambon and CRO, a specific item for discussion 
should be added aimed at sharing for each of the countries involved in the study the current status 
of the coronavirus emergency (government recommendations, any specific restriction in the areas 
of the study sites) covering: 
• 
impacts on the study enrolment/patients' visit at site: for this topic please refers to 
sections 2 and 3)

• 
impacts on monitoring activities: for this topic, on top of what is reported in section 
2, please note that Zambon should be informed about any CRO's restrictions in 
performing visit activities at site; all the efforts should be spent to respect the 
monitoring visit frequency as per Monitoring Plan; deviations should be 
documented and approved by Sponsor. The Monitoring plan will be updated and 
will reflect the new conditions for the micro-management. The updated monitoring 
Plan will be approved by Zambon. 
2. 
Communication with site 
Ongoing communication with the PI/site should happen according to the study specific frequency 
agreed with Zambon until the concerned site continues activity under standard working conditions. 
The frequency of the communications should be increased after agreement with the Zambon if the 
status at site changes. 
Topics to be discussed during the calls (on top of the standard ones): 
a) 
Investigate any potential issue related to coronavirus outbreak 
b) 
Health status of patients (AE/SAE recording) 
c) 
Inform the PI/site of any delay to planned SIV or MV. 
d) 
Confirm with the PI/sites whether or not they plan to continue enrolling new 
patients. 
e) 
Perform remote motoring ( details will be in the MP) 
f) 
For sites with ongoing patients, please see next section. 
3. 
Sites with ongoing patients: 
Wherever possible, every effort should be made to have the patient attend the hospital for their on 
site study visits according to the schedule in the protocol. 
During the contact with sites please consider the following options that should be discussed case 
by case and approved by Zambon prior to implementation: 
a) 
If the patient does not want to go the hospital for the visit or they are not allowed 
by local authorities, the following can be explored with the site in order to maintain patient 
retention and then feedback to Sponsor for approval:

• 
Recommend patients to use private car/driver or to pay a taxi for the on site 
visits. Costs will be reimbursed upon the evidence of receipts;

• 
Decide whether assessment might be performed via phone call like for 
example interviewing patients about general health conditions (Adverse 
Event, Concomitant Medication) and collection of vital signs using patient's 
domestic equipment (if feasible). The study's e-questionnaires MDS-
UPDRS, CGI-s and CGI-c to be completed by the site staff at specific study 
visits through the study device might be compiled during the phone call. In 
case of site inability in using the site-based device, the site staff might make 
use of the paper version of the e-questionnaires which will be provided by 
the Sponsor. 
The data collected through the paper form will then be transferred into the 
specific study database via data correction form. This will also be 
documented in medical charts and paper forms retained as source document. 
• 
Patient verbal consent to continuing in the study and to being contacted by 
site staff via phone call will be documented in medical charts as well as the 
details of which assessment have been done via phone call and with which 
equipment and method 
b) 
If the clinic location where study visits are routinely performed is not available due 
to the Coronavirus outbreak (e.g. closed, being utilized for non-study purposes, etc.), sites 
may conduct study visits at a suitable alternative location and lab samples can be taken and 
analysed from the local lab of the alternative site ( every effort should be spent to collect 
normal ranges). In such case, it should first be checked ifthere is any regulatory or ethical 
implication for involving an alternative location. 
c) 
Confirm with the site if it is permitted by the EC/GCP/local authorities to send 
study drug directly to the patient's home. If the study drug is to be sent to patient's home, 
the patient must also confirm their agreement for the courier to be provided with their name 
and address for shipping purposes. This confirmation will be documented in the patient's 
source notes. The patient's name and address will not be provided to any other parties ( e.g. 
Sponsor, CRO, vendor, etc.). Upon receipt of study drug, the patient should promptly 
inform the site staff if the drug has been received in good condition. Site staff need to 
document the entire process from site to home in the patient chart. 
Site can also explore if a patient's care-giver is willing to go at site to pick up the IMP. 
Details will be given at sites case by case according to the recommendation coming from 
regulatory/local authorities. 
d) 
Where required, patient visits may be changed beyond the maximum visit window 
permitted in the current approved protocol. The permissible duration of any delay will be 
assessed on a case by case basis and supported by a phone call between PI/study staff and

patient in order to assess any potential adverse events (AEs), whether the patient has 
sufficient study supplies and to confirm the patient's status and wellbeing. Patients will 
continue on study treatment at home during this extension and the site is authorised to allow 
subjects to administer the additional tablets present in the wallet that are in the 'grey 
colored slots' and that are marked as Do Not Take in the IP label. As confirmed by Almac 
(CMO responsible for IP secondary packaging) the tablets in those slots can be dispensed 
in the same manner as for the other tablets in the wallet and there are no blinding concerns 
• 
Patient verbal consent to continuing in the study and to being contacted by 
site staff via phone call will be documented in medical charts. 
• 
All decisions regarding patient re-scheduling and follow-up must be clearly 
documented in the patient's source notes. 
• 
The CRA will document all patient visits performed outside of the protocol 
defined visit window as protocol deviations, referencing this contingency 
plan. 
• 
In cases where approval is given to extend home-treatment for a patient, 
and they do not have sufficient IMP to enable continued treatment until 
the rescheduled visit date, the site will ship additional IMP to the patient 
(please refer to paragraph 3c ). If not feasible, Zambon may consider with 
ALMAC the IMP delivery at patient home. Details will be given at sites 
case by case according to the recommendation coming from 
regulatory/local authorities. For IMP shipping from site to patient home, a 
dedicated courier appointed by the Sponsor/CRO/site will be involved and 
a data privacy infographic for the subject will be included in the shipping 
packaging either by site pharmacist or directly by the appointed courier 
e) 
At the end of the 2019-nCo V emergency and when it will be possible to reach the 
site, the subject or caregiver/familiar will return the IP and eDiaries to site at the earliest 
opportunity. The site staff will ensure it and will document it in the patient's source 
document
