On a stable regimen of anti-parkinson medications for at least 30 days prior to screening and willing to continue the same doses and regimens during study participation 5. Any other current and allowed prescription/non-prescription medications and/or nutritional supplements taken regularly must have been at a stable dose and regimen for at least 30 days prior to screening, and subject must be willing to continue the same doses and regimens during study participation 6. Signed a current IRB-approved informed consent form 7.

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients that experienced a drug-related SAE or had a moderate or severe AE during the NMS-Nab Study will be excluded in the study.

Laboratory values clinically significant out-of-range at screening or within 4 weeks prior to screening 12. Known or diagnosed sinus tachycardia in ECG evaluation at screening or within 4 weeks prior to screening 13. presence of an acute or chronic major psychiatric disorder (e.g., Major Depressive Disorder, psychosis) or symptom (e.g., hallucinations, agitation, paranoia) (MDS-UPDRS 1.2 and/or 1.3 > 2) 14. recent suicidal attempt within the past five years or suicidal ideation within the past 6 months 15. presence of dementia (MDS-UPDRS 1.1 > 2, MMSE of 2 year absence of vaginal bleeding).] 20.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability of nabilone in PD patients.; Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the study are to assess the effects of long-term, open-label dosing with nabilone on different symptoms of PD and quality of life in patients with PD. The exploratory objective of this study will be an Eye-tracking evaluation in PD patients taking nabilone at Visit V 2 to examine the change of the reaction time, attention span, and concentrativeness. ; Primary end point(s): Primary Safety and tolerability endpoints: • Safety and tolerability will be evaluated with reference to the following:Number of subjects (%) who discontinue the study • Number of subjects (%) who discontinue the study due to AE • Adverse Events (AE) • Physical and neurological examination findings • Vital signs assessments • Subjects compliance, prior and concomitant medication use • Hallucination item (1.2) of Movement Disorders Society – Unified Parkinson´s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) • Orthostatic hypotension (OH) item (1.12) of Movement Disorders Society – Unified Parkinson´s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) • Day-time sleepiness item (1.8) of Movement Disorders Society – Unified Parkinson´s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Suicidality using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary safety analysis will be performed with the safety data set including all patients with the intake of at least one study drug and performing at least V 1. A safety analysis will be performed on all events and tolerability issues, as well as the hallucination item, orthostatic hypotension item, the day-time sleepiness item of Part I of MDS-UPDRS, and C- | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary Efficacy endpoints: Long-term efficacy evaluations are the secondary objective of this study. Efficacy endpoints include changes from V 1 to the termination visit (V 4) in the following assessments: • Total and different parts of MDS-UPDRS • Different domains of MDS-UPDRS Part I • NMSS • HAD-S • PDQ-8 • ESS • FSS • KPPS • QUIP-RS • CGI-I The change of MMSE and MoCA score values between the Screening Visit of the NMS-Nab Study (before the first intake of nabilone medication) and the termination visit of this study will be assessed as secondary efficacy endpoints. Exploratory Endpoints The change of the reaction time, attention span, and concentrativeness between Screening and Termination Visit of the randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, enriched enrolment randomized withdrawal study NMS-Nab and V 2 of this study as measured by the Eye-tracking examination will be an exploratory endpoint. ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The secondary efficacy criterion will be measured as the change of all assessments between V 1 and month 6, except for the MoCA and MMSE (will be compared between the Screening visit of the precursory NMS-Nab study and the Termination Visit of this study). The exploratory end point will be measured at V 2 of this study and compared to the Screening and Termination Visit of the precursory NMS-Nab Study. | — |
