NCT04334317
It is hoped that TAK-071 will help people with Parkinson's disease to walk with better balance. The main aim of the study is to check if there is a difference in how participants walk after treatment with TAK-071. Another aim is to see if it improves how participants think and remember. At the first visit, the study doctor will check who can take part. Participants who can take part will be picked for 1 of 2 groups by chance. Both groups will have 2 treatments but in a different order. The treatments are TAK-071 tablets or placebo. In this study, a placebo will look like the TAK-071 but will not have any medicine in it. One group will take TAK-071 for 6 weeks, have at least a 3-week break, then take a placebo for 6 weeks. The other group will take a placebo for 6 weeks, have at least a 3-week break, then take TAK-071 for 6 weeks. The participants will not know the order of their 2 treatments, nor will their study doctors. This is to help make sure the results are more reliable. The participants will visit the clinic at the beginning and end of each treatment for a check-up. 14 days after the 2nd treatment, clinic staff will telephone the participants for a final check-up.
NCT06272955
Parkinson Disease (PD) patients experience a variety of motor issues such as walking difficulties, loss of balance, and freezing while walking, which impacts their quality of life. Some symptoms, like freezing of gait (FOG), do not respond to medications typically used to treat PD. Current surgical procedures used to alleviate PD symptoms also do not always improve FOG. Since many traditional therapies have failed for the treatment of FOG, researchers have proposed the use of newer treatments. Recent research in animal models and clinical human data using Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) has produced promising results, specifically showing improvement in FOG with the use of SCS in patients with PD. The purpose of this study is to explore the long-term motor and non-motor effects of SCS in PD patients after completing participation on H-49023. The investigators hypothesize that SCS significantly decreases FOG episodes in patients with PD. 1. Assess the long-term safety, tolerability and preliminary evidence of effectiveness of upper thoracic spinal cord stimulation for freezing of gait in Parkinson's (PD) patients. 2. Allowing patients to choose between the two SCS programming paradigms based on their motor, nonmotor and quality of life measures in PD patients with freezing of gait.

NCT05094050
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition, which means it affects the brain. This study will evaluate how ABBV-951 is absorbed under the skin of participants with PD when administered to arm, thigh and flank compared to the abdomen. ABBV-951 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of PD. Study doctors randomly assign participants to 1 of 4 groups, called treatment arms. Each treatment arm receives ABBV-951 administered in a different order in the arm, high, flank and abdomen. Approximately 12 adult participants over 30 years with a diagnosis of PD will be enrolled in approximately 10 sites in the United States. Participants will receive continuous (24hours/day) subcutaneous infusion of ABBV-951 for 2 consecutive days for each infusion site (arm, thigh, flank and abdomen), for a total duration of treatment up to 12 days. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will be confined at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires. Adverse events will be monitored throughout the study.
NCT00908076
The purpose of this study is to determine if Amitiza (lubiprostone), a drug proven to be safe and effective for chronic constipation, will also improve constipation symptoms in Parkinson's Disease patients. We will also evaluate the impact of the drug on changes in bowel movement consistency, quality of life and motor symptoms.
NCT03229174
This is a double blind placebo controlled trial in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH). Investigators hypothesize that the study drug (droxidopa) may improve cerebral perfusion more robustly than systemic BP, possibly by direct action within the CNS vasculature. This study is designed to determine if droxidopa improves cerebral perfusion measures in PD patients with NOH, in addition to peripheral BP measures and subjective responses.
NCT03944785

Using a simple diagnostic test will improve clinical accuracy in diagnosing, earlier diagnosis, and distinguish between neurodegenerative diseases.
NCT04524351
Annovis is conducting a clinical study to investigate Posiphen in patients with Early Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Early Parkinson's Disease (PD). Investigators are looking to recruit 68 patients in two parts of the study. In Part one of the study Investigators will recruit 14 AD and 14 PD patients who will either receive placebo (an inert pill which looks like the study drug) or the study drug Posiphen, both taken daily. In Part two of the study Investigators will recruit 40 PD patients who will receive different strengths of the study drug Posiphen taken daily. Patients will be required to come to the site for 3 face to face visits and have 4 phone calls, tests include but are not limited to, blood and CSF (spinal fluid) sampling, cognitive assessments, clinical examinations and laboratory safety tests. Primarily the Investigators are looking for the safety and tolerability of Posiphen, although Investigators will also evaluate the activity of Posiphen by a number of different biomarkers measuring pathway and target engagements.
NCT00660673
The primary objective of this study is to provide continued access to levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG), to participants who have already participated in an open-label efficacy and safety study with the same treatment (Study S187.3.003 \[NCT00360568\] or Study S187.3.004 \[NCT00335153\]).
NCT01071395
This study will evaluate the responsiveness of a variety of available dyskinesia rating scales to treatment with amantadine or placebo in Parkinson's disease patients with dyskinesia. The study will be a parallel, double-blind, randomized trial of 68 patients treated with amantadine or placebo for 8 weeks. Pre-treatment evaluations will be performed and compared to end of study evaluations on the best treatment dose (200 or 300 mg amantadine or matching placebo) daily. Safety evaluations will be conducted. The responsiveness of the different scales will be evaluated statistically with a mixed model in which changes in the outcome measures over time will include a fixed effect of treatment group assignment. The model will additionally account for random effects of intercepts (the scale scores at baseline) that will include both random variation (person-specific) and specific variation associated with rate of change in outcome. The investigators may include adjustments for possible confounding covariates, including baseline demographics and center. The goal of the program is to provide researchers with the best scale(s) to distinguish dyskinesia change in Parkinson's disease (PD) associated with amantadine in comparison to placebo and to establish the magnitude of effect achievable with amantadine as a comparator "gold standard" that must be met or surpassed by future anti-dyskinetic agents. Additionally, with the use of paper and pencil questionnaires, the study will investigate the impact of patient optimism and patient and rater expectation of positive effects on the dyskinesia rating outcomes.
NCT02610231
This is a Phase 3, 52-week, open-label, flexible-dose, multinational, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of istradefylline 20 or 40 mg/d in subjects with moderate to severe PD with motor fluctuations and dyskinesia on levodopa combination (levodopa/carbidopa or levodopa/benserazide) therapy plus at least one adjunctive PD medication. Subjects who completed 12 weeks of double-blind treatment and the 30-day follow-up period in Study No. 6002-014 will undergo Screening and Baseline evaluations for eligibility for the study. Eligible subjects will be treated with istradefylline at a starting dose of 20 mg/d with an option for a dose adjustment to 40 mg/d at Week 12 based on the Investigator's judgment of each subject's response and tolerability. If deemed necessary, one unscheduled dose adjustment visit between Week 2 to Week 12 is allowed in accordance with clinical judgment of the Investigator. Subjects who had a dose adjustment to 40 mg/d can have their dose decreased to 20 mg/d by the Investigator at a second unscheduled dose adjustment visit if there are tolerability issues. The istradefylline dose should remain fixed between Week 26 to Week 52. Consultation with the Sponsor's Medical Monitor is required prior to any unscheduled dose adjustment visits. A subject may discontinue from the study at any time.
