Aerobic Exercise and Brain Health in Parkinson's
Parkinson DiseaseThe purpose of the project is to investigate how moderate to high intensity aerobic exercise affects brain health in patients with Parkinson's disease. Assessments include MRI, blood markers, cognition, functional tests, questionnaires, and cardiorespiratory fitness. The study will be a single blinded randomized controlled trial with a 6-month long intervention.
GDNF Gene Therapy for Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's DiseaseThe objective of this Phase 1b investigation is to evaluate the safety and potential clinical effect of AAV2-GDNF delivered to the putamen in subjects with either a recent or a long-standing diagnosis of PD.
Phase I Open-label Study of Low-dose Ketamine Infusion Treatment in Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia...
Levodopa-Induced DyskinesiaParkinson's DiseaseThe primary objective is to determine the tolerability and efficacy of a low-dose ketamine infusion for the treatment of Levodopa-Induced dyskinesias (LID), both acutely and during post-infusion evaluation (week 2-6), as measured by a change in patient diaries of dyskinesia and the UDysRS. Secondary objectives include observing the effects of ketamine on various symptoms of Parkinson's disease and Levodopa side effects. This includes the duration of "off," "on without dyskinesia," and "troublesome dyskinesia" time during waking hours, effects on chronic and acute pain, quality of life, and other general PD symptoms as noted in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. There is no highly effective treatment for levodopa-induced dyskinesia. This research study will use intermittent infusions of ketamine, on 10 volunteer subjects, which could provide significant improvement in dyskinesia utilizing a novel mechanism of action compared to current treatment strategies. Positive results in this study could lead to new novel treatments for dyskinesia and further development for other PD symptoms such as depression and pain.
Study To Assess Adverse Events and Change in Disease Activity Of 24-hour Continuous Subcutaneous...
Parkinson's Disease (PD)Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition, which affects the brain. PD gets worse over time, but how quickly it progresses varies a lot from person to person. Some symptoms of PD are tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. This study will assess how safe and effective ABBV-951 is in adult participants with PD. Adverse events and change in disease activity is evaluated. ABBV-951 is an investigational (unapproved) drug containing Levodopa Phosphate/Carbidopa Phosphate (LDP/CDP) given as an infusion under the skin for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. Adult participants with advanced PD and who have completed M15-736 or M20-339 study will be enrolled. Approximately 130 participants will be enrolled in the study in approximately 60 sites in the United States and Australia. Participants will receive continuous subcutaneous infusion (CSCI) (under the skin) of ABBV-951 for 96 weeks during the Primary Treatment Period and during the optional Extended Treatment Period. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical and remote telephone assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects, and completing questionnaires.
ATH-1017 Treatment in Subjects With Parkinson's Disease Dementia or Dementia With Lewy Bodies (SHAPE...
Parkinson Disease DementiaDementia With Lewy BodiesThis study is designed to evaluate the safety and treatment effects of fosgonimeton (ATH-1017) in subjects with Parkinson's Disease Dementia or Dementia with Lewy Bodies, with a randomized treatment duration of 26 weeks.
Cartesia eXTend 3D Study
Parkinson DiseaseThe purpose of the study is to document patient outcomes including effectiveness for Boston Scientific Corporation's Vercise Cartesia 16-contact Directional Lead(s) (X/HX) with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) systems for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease (PD).
Treating Anxiety in Parkinson's Disease With a Multi-Strain Probiotic
Parkinson DiseaseAnxietyThis study evaluates the use of an oral multi-strain probiotic in the treatment of anxiety in individuals with Parkinson's Disease. Participants will be randomized to either 12-week multi-strain probiotic treatment or placebo.
A Double-blind Study to Investigate Efficacy and Safety of Buntanetap Compared With Placebo in Participants...
Parkinson's DiseaseIdiopathicThe purpose of this study is to measure safety and efficacy of buntanetap capsules compared with placebo capsules in participants with early PD. Study details include: The study duration will be up to 7-8 months. The double-blind treatment duration will be up to 6 months. There will be 5 in-clinic visits and 7 phone calls
Effects of Spinal Cord Stimulation on Gait in Patients With Parkinson´s Disease
Parkinson DiseaseGait Disorders1 moreSpinal cord stimulation (SCS) for Parkinson´s disease (PD) has been studied for a decade but consensus on efficacy is still lacking, with the previous stimulation standard paresthesia inducing threshold hampering adequate subject blinding. Considering that tonic stimulation for pain has been shown to be efficacious for most patients on subthreshold stimulation parameters we hypothesize a similar result with it´s use on PD. The investigators aim to: Produce stronger evidence on SCS efficacy for PD in regards to gait, motor scores and quality of life measures by incorporating subthreshold in a randomized cross over placebo-controlled study with a large sample. Identify predictors of good response to SCS therapy by performing trans spinal magnetic stimulation (TSMS) before SCS implant and correlating the response to SCS to that of the noninvasive TSMS. Better provide biomarkers of SCS therapy through functional magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalographic mapping.
Remote Optimization, Adjustment and Measurement for Deep Brain Stimulation
Parkinson DiseaseThe purpose of the ROAM-DBS study is to compare the time needed to achieve a 1 point improvement Patient's Global Impression of change (PGIC) relative to the subject's status at the end of the ADROIT initial programming visit in subjects who receive programming updates via in-clinic sessions and subjects who additionally have the option of receiving programming updates via Virtual Clinic sessions. The study intends to demonstrate shorter times to achieve benefit in the Virtual Clinic cohort.
