Active clinical trials for "Parkinson Disease"

The purpose of this study placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind study is to assess the safety and efficacy of SYN120 in patients with Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) already treated with a stable dose of a cholinesterase inhibitor.

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.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the tolerability and the effect of BIA 9-1067 at steady-state on the levodopa pharmacokinetics in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients treated with levodopa/dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor.

The purpose of this study is to document patient outcomes, including effectiveness, safety, and health economic data, for the Boston Scientific implantable deep brain stimulation (DBS) Vercise™ system for bilateral stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in the treatment of moderate to severe idiopathic Parkinson's Disease (PD).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of E2007 in Parkinson's Disease patients who have "wearing off" motor fluctuations and "on" period dyskenisias.

This is an investigator initiated pilot study to examine the effects of GSH in PD. The goal of this study is to acquire some basic data regarding side effects and efficacy of this compound to determine if this is a possible treatment option that could be recommended to interested PD patients.

The purpose of this study is to assess the facilitation of balance in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients using the Nintendo Wii fit, with the ultimate goal of developing a program for function and fitness in this patient population. In this study, PD patients will participate in group exercise classes using the Wii Fit and the effects on balance, postural sway, and quality of life assessed.

The purpose of this research trial is to determine if safinamide (experimental drug) can improve cognition in cognitively impaired but non-demented Parkinson's disease patients. The word "experimental" means the trial drug is not approved by Health Authorities (government authorities) and is still being tested for safety and effectiveness. Approximately one hundred (100) patients will participate in this research trial. The research trial will be conducted in approximately thirty (30) medical centers in the following countries: Argentina, Canada, Italy, Peru, South Africa, Spain and USA. The research trial will last until June 2012.
