Study Summary

The purpose of this research trial is to determine if safinamide (experimental drug) can improve cognition in cognitively impaired but non-demented Parkinson's disease patients. The word "experimental" means the trial drug is not approved by Health Authorities (government authorities) and is still being tested for safety and effectiveness. Approximately one hundred (100) patients will participate in this research trial. The research trial will be conducted in approximately thirty (30) medical centers in the following countries: Argentina, Canada, Italy, Peru, South Africa, Spain and USA. The research trial will last until June 2012.

Primary Outcome

Total score reduction in the PD-CRS at 12 weeks compared to the Baseline. The PD-CRS detects early cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease. It is composed of 2 scales, the subcortical scale (items 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9) and the cortical scale (items 2, 6). The total score of the subcortical scale is from 0 to 114. The total score of the cortical scale is from 0 to 20. The PD-CRS Total score represents the sum of scores on the cortical and subcortical scales. It ranges from 0 to 134. The more p
