42 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records regarding Parkinson's Disease.
This study will help us better understand how the brain works in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a brain disease that gets worse over time, and affects over 10 million people world-wide. A common treatment for PD is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). To improve DBS therapy for PD, we need a deeper understanding of how the different parts of the brain work together in PD, and how this relates to movement and thinking problems that people with PD experience. We may be able to use the results of this study to improve DBS treatments in the future.
With an appropriate oral dose of Varenicline (VCN) identified from experiments 1 \& 2 of the study (see NCT02933372), the investigators will administer VCN to Parkinson Disease (PD) participants to determine if VCN improves walking speed and measures of balance. PD participants will receive VCN or a placebo (fake drug) for 3 weeks to assess the effects of VCN administration on gait speed and balance. Participants will undergo examinations to assess the intensity of their Parkinsonism and asked questions to assess their mood and thinking.
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial to determine whether oral inosine dosed to moderately elevate serum urate (from ≤5.7 mg/dL to 7.1-8.0 mg/dL) over 2 years slows clinical decline in early PD. Clinical decline will be assessed as change in the primary outcome variable of the Movement Disorders Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS), a composite scale comprising patient- and clinician-reported outcomes.
The purpose of this research study is to measure the safety (side effects) of an Omega 3 Fatty acid called docosahexanoic acid (DHA) and measure the dyskinesia (involuntary movements) in Parkinson 's disease (PD).
This study is a 12-month, dose-level blinded, multicenter study of 2 inhaled dose levels of CVT-301 for the treatment of up to 5 OFF episodes per day in PD patients experiencing motor fluctuations (OFF episodes). All patients will receive active treatment, but patients will be blinded to dose level. This will serve as an extension to the CVT-301-004 (NCT02240030) study for those patients who participated in that study and remain eligible for this study. In addition, patients who previously completed the CVT-301-003 (NCT01777555), CVT-301-009 (NCT02807675) and CVT-301-005 (NCT02352363) (observational arm completers), as well as CVT-301 naïve patients may be enrolled if they meet the CVT-301-004E eligibility criteria.
This randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of inhaled CVT 301 compared with placebo in PD patients experiencing motor response fluctuations (OFF phenomena) as an outpatient (i.e., at home) and in the clinic. Patients who successfully complete this study will be eligible to enroll into a 12 month treatment extension (CVT-301-004E) study.

Abstract Cognitive symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) include deficits in attention, working memory, and reasoning. These deficits affect up to 80% of PD patients and lead to mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) and dementia in PD (PDD). There is a critical need to better understand cognitive impairment in PD to develop new targeted treatments. The long-term goal is to define the mechanisms of PD-related cognitive impairment. PD involves diverse processes such as dopamine and acetylcholine dysfunction, synuclein aggregation, and genetic factors. During the past funding period, the investigators linked PD-related cognitive impairment to dysfunction in frontal midline delta (1-4 Hz) and theta (5-7 Hz) rhythms, which the work has established as a marker of cognitive control. However, it is unknown why PD patients have deficits in these low-frequency brain rhythms. The preliminary magnetic resonance imaging (MEG) and magnetoencephalography (MRI) implicate the anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC) as a potential source of frontal midline delta/theta rhythms. In the next funding period, the objective is to determine the mechanisms and predictive power of delta/theta rhythms in PD, which will help to better understand the pathophysiology of PD-related cognitive impairment. Collaboration between the University of New Mexico (UNM) and University of Iowa (UI) that will bring together MEG, MRI, longitudinal EEG, and adaptive subthalamic (STN) deep-brain stimulation (DBS). The investigators will test the overall hypothesis that frontal midline delta/theta dysfunction contributes to cognitive impairments in PD. In Aim 1, the investigators will determine the structural basis for delta/theta rhythm deficits in PD. In Aim 2, the investigators will determine the predictive power of delta/theta rhythm deficits in PD. In Aim 3, the investigators will determine how tuned low-frequency STN DBS impacts cortical activity and cognition. The results will have relevance for basic-science knowledge of the fundamental pathophysiology of cognitive impairment in PD and related dementias. Because this proposal will study patients with PDD, the findings are directly relevant to Alzheimer's-related dementias (ADRD).
This study will test the hypothesis that deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting specific changes in oscillatory activity at the site of stimulation will prove superior to continuous isochronal DBS thus providing the rationale for development and optimization of closed loop paradigms and determine whether the optimal closed-loop biomarker varies across subcortical targets, is task dependent, or serves to re-establish a default network that removes an underlying disruptive physiological state leading to greater improvement in motor signs and task performance.
This study is a multicenter, 9 months, open label extension study for all patients who are willing and eligible to continue from the pivotal, double-blind S308.3.002 study.
In this study, researchers will learn more about BIIB122 in participants with early-stage Parkinson's disease (PD). The study will include adults aged 30 to 80 who were diagnosed with PD within 2 years of starting the study. The main objective of the study is to learn about the effect BIIB122 has on slowing down the worsening of PD symptoms. The main question researchers want to answer is: - How long does it take for PD symptoms to worsen during BIIB122 treatment? Researchers will answer this and other questions by measuring the symptoms of PD over time using a variety of scoring tools. These include the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) and the modified Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living Scale (mSE-ADL). The MDS-UPDRS is used to measure symptoms of PD. It has 4 parts: Part I, II, III, and IV. Each part measures different aspects of motor and non-motor symptoms. The mSE-ADL measures a participant's ability to perform daily activities or personal chores. Researchers will also learn more about the safety of BIIB122. They will check participants for adverse events. Adverse events are unwanted health problems that may or may not be caused by the study drug. The study will be done as follows: * Participants will be randomly assigned to take either BIIBB122 or placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. * Neither the researchers nor the participants will know if the participants are receiving BIIB122 or placebo. * Participants will take BIIB122 or placebo tablets by mouth once a day. * The treatment period for each participant will last between 48 and 144 weeks. * There will be a safety follow-up period for 2 weeks after the last dose of BIIB122. * In total, participants will have up to 29 study visits. * Participants will stay in the study for at least 1 year, up to about 3 years.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study in participants with Parkinson's disease (PD) with motor fluctuations. Participants will be randomized to receive once-daily oral doses of either 75 milligrams (mg) CVN424, 150 mg CVN424, or a matching placebo for 12 weeks. Participants who successfully complete this study and retain eligibility/suitability will be invited to participate in a future open-label extension (OLE) study.

P2B001 is an investigational drug that comprised of low doses of two drugs, pramipexole and rasagiline, which are both approved drugs and routinely used in standard therapy for Parkinson's disease. The two drugs work in two different mechanisms that help each other, so there is a reason to believe that their combined activity will be better than each individual drug, and that lower doses can be used without losing the therapeutic effect. Thus, the development of P2B001 is intended to provide a combination of low doses of these two drugs, in an improved formulation, that is hoped to be more effective in controlling Parkinson's disease symptoms and with less side effects than each of the drugs taken alone or the current available commercial drugs taken together. In a previously completed clinical trial a significant improvement in Parkinson's disease symptoms was seen in patients treated with P2B001 compared to patients that were treated with placebo. In this phase 3 study , the safety and efficacy of P2B001 will be assessed by comparing P2B001 to its individual components pramipexole and rasagiline. This will be done by monitoring the motor and non-motor symptoms, evaluating responses participants provide on questionnaires relating to Parkinson's disease and quality of life that will be completed on every visit. In addition, this study will also compare P2B001 to a marketed drug of pramipexole ER. Approximately 525 patients will participate in this research study and the participation in this study will last between 14 to 18 weeks.

In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called BIIB122 in participants with early-stage Parkinson's disease (PD). The study will focus on participants with a specific genetic variant in their LRRK2 gene. The main question researchers are trying to answer is if taking BIIB122 slows the worsening of PD more than placebo in the early stages of PD. To help answer this question, researchers will use a questionnaire called the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, also known as the MDS-UPDRS. * The MDS-UPDRS measures impairment and disability in people living with PD. It was created in the 1980s and is one of the most used rating scales for PD symptoms. * The MDS-UPDRS has 4 parts, and a higher score means more severe PD symptoms. * Part I assesses non-motor experiences of daily living, including but not limited to memory loss, problems sleeping, pain, depression, and anxiety. * Part II measures motor experiences of daily living. * Part III is the results of a motor symptoms exam by a medical professional. * Part IV records PD complications caused by motor symptoms. Researchers will also learn more about the safety of BIIB122. A description of how the study will be done is given below. * Participants will take BIIB122 or a placebo as tablets by mouth. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. * Participants will be in the study for 103 weeks to 187 weeks. This includes the screening and follow-up periods. * Participants will take BIIB122 or placebo 1 time a day for 96 to 180 weeks. * Participants can continue to take certain medications for PD. Participants must be on the same dose of medication for at least 90 days before the study begins. * Participants will visit the clinic less often as the study continues, ranging every 4 weeks to every 24 weeks.
