Active clinical trials for "Parkinson Disease"

The scientific aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin-Merz Pharmaceuticals) in the tremor of Parkinson"s disease. Our hypothesis is that injection of Xeomin into the muscles of arm, forearm and hand decreases the tremor amplitude and frequency leading to improvement of the patient"s function.

Glutathione is an important nutrient for brain function and loss of glutathione has been implicated in Parkinson's disease. Glutathione is an antioxidant made in the body out of three amino acids, the nutrients that make up protein. This study will determine whether administration of either dose of glutathione, as a nasal spray, improves PD symptoms over time in a population of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TVP-1012 (0.5 mg or 1 mg/day) as an add-on to levodopa in Japanese participants with Parkinson's disease with wearing-off phenomenon.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of TVP-1012 (1 mg/day) in Japanese participants with early Parkinson's disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term safety of TVP-1012 (1 mg/day) with levodopa in Japanese participants with Parkinson's disease.

This is a study to assess the efficacy and safety of oral Istradefylline (KW-6002) in patients with moderate to severe Parkinson's Disease. While on this study, participants will continue to take their usual, prescribed, stable regimen of Levodopa/Carbidopa or Levodopa/Benserazide therapy plus adjunct Parkinson's medications. Patients will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive either Istradefylline 20 mg per day, or Istradefylline 40 mg per day or an equivalent placebo. Patients will be treated for a 12 week period to demonstrate the effectiveness of Istradefylline in improving Parkinson's disease symptoms (referred to as improvement in patient OFF time) and that Istradefylline has an acceptable safety profile in this group.

This study will evaluate an oral fixed-dose, once daily product that combines pramipexole and rasagiline for the treatment of early Parkinson's disease. Animal studies support the therapeutic advantage of combining low doses of rasagiline and pramipexole and suggest further improvement when both are administered in a sustained fashion. Both rasagiline and pramipexole are well known marketed drugs for Parkinson's disease with a good safety profile. combining the drugs in low doses and controlled release may provide better symptom management than the existing drugs alone or together.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture and bee venom acupuncture (BVA) for idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) through a sham-controlled trial and investigate whether there is sustainability of treatments effects by follow-up assessments after the end of the treatment.

This is a follow-up study to assess safety and clinical activity of continued AFFITOPE® PD01A vaccinations in patients with Parkinson's disease. Patients, who have already participated in AFF008 will be involved and will be receive one boost immunization with AFFITOPE® PD01A. One study site in Vienna (Austria) will be involved. In addition, up to 8 patients will be offered participation within an untreated control group.

The objectives of this study were to characterize the effects of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and tolerability of BIA 9-1067 in healthy male subjects.
