Thanks for the response. I think the NAM simply means Negative Allosteric Modulator (NAM).

Abstract
The present invention relates in one embodiment to a pharmaceutical combination of a metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) negative allosteric modulator and levodopa or a dopamine agonist, and at least one of a dopa decarboxylase inhibitor or a catechol-O-methyl transferase inhibitor for the treatment of PD-LID. In this exemplary pharmaceutical combination, the mGluR5 negative allosteric modulator will have similar pharmacokinetic parameters to levodopa or to a dopamine agonist.

Just looking through it, it appears to be one in the same.
dipraglurant=metabolic glutamate receptor5=mGluR5=mGluR5NAM
That was a good find, I don't know about the patents but it sure is interesting that the CMO and co-inventors of dipraglurant would leave Addex to join AMBS.
