| Main Objective: The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two dose ranges of safinamide (50-100 and 150-200 mg/day, p.o.), compared to placebo, as add-on therapy in patients with early idiopathic Parkinson’s disease who are currently receiving a stable dose of a single dopamine agonist.;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): 1. Change in mean value of UPDRS - Section III total score from baseline to endpoint. 2. CGI - Change from baseline to endpoint (proportion of patients showing improvement – scores of 1, 2 or 3). | — |
