Parkinson's disease clinical trials, in English

Parkinson's trials may study motor symptoms, wearing-off, dyskinesia, cognition, or investigational disease-modifying drugs. Hoehn and Yahr stage, levodopa dose, and device history (DBS) often decide eligibility. We do not score how well a drug works. Sourced from ClinicalTrials.gov. Not a recommendation to join any study.

Not a traditional drug phase: Medtronic Activa Tremor Control System for Parkinson's Disease

Background: \- Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an approved surgery for certain movement disorders, like Parkinson's disease, that do not respond well to other treatments. DBS uses a battery-powered device called a neurostimulator (like a pacemaker) that is placed under the skin in the chest.

Phase 2: testing dapansutrile for Parkinson Disease

In Parkinson's disease (PD), there is inflammation in the brain, the gut and the blood, which is thought to contribute to the development and progression of the disease. The Nod-like receptor (NLR) family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a complex of proteins which plays a critical role in mediating inflammation, and there is growing evidence from laboratory research that the inflammasome plays a role in Parkinson's disease.

This study wants to measure the dose-related whether it is safe and how hard side effects are to live with of IPS101A, an adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy, in patients with Parkinson's disease who exhibit severe functional impairment corresponding to Hoehn \& Yahr stages 4-5 and whose symptoms are not adequately controlled despite all available this drug alone and combination therapy options. In addition, the study aims to assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IPS101A, as well as its preliminary how well it works and pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics.

This multicenter study aims to characterize the language profiles of patients with various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA), behavioral variant Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), and Parkinson's disease (PD), using artificial intelligence (AI) models. By analyzing speech and language data collected during remote neuropsychological assessments, the researchers intend to identify objective linguistic biomarkers suitable for early and differential diagnosis, overcoming the limitations of traditional, invasive, and costly diagnostic tools.

FAQ: Parkinson's disease trials

How do I find recruiting Parkinson's disease clinical trials?

This hub lists 25 recruiting Parkinson's disease studies from a ClinicalTrials.gov snapshot, rewritten in plain English. Each card links to its NCT record. You can also search the official registry for “Parkinson disease” at https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?cond=Parkinson%20disease.

What does a Parkinson's disease trial page on PlainTrials include?

A phase explainer, a plain-English summary grounded in the brief summary, inclusion/exclusion extracted from the public eligibility block, sponsor name, and any central contact the sponsor published. It is not a match to a trial.

Where are Parkinson's disease studies located in this snapshot?

Sites that appear on these records include New York, New York; Seoul, South Korea; Boston, Massachusetts; Scottsdale, Arizona; Los Angeles, California. A city on a record is not a guarantee that the site is taking new patients this week — call the NCT contact.

Can PlainTrials tell me if I qualify for a Parkinson's disease study?

No. Eligibility is decided by the study team using the protocol, labs, and consent. Our “who it is for” list is a readable extract of public inclusion text only.
