NCT02598973
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder affecting approximately 80,000 Veterans, representing a priority area for VA research. Current medicines for PD only improve symptoms, treatments that slow disease progression are needed, and earlier diagnosis of PD may be the key to their development. PD symptoms can be mimicked by medicines (most commonly antipsychotic drugs that block dopamine), and some of these patients actually have underlying "prodromal" PD that was "unmasked" years before it would have caused symptoms. This problem is increasing as these medicines are now used for common conditions including post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. The investigators will identify prodromal PD in patients with drug-induced symptoms using brain scans. These patients will be enrolled in a randomized clinical trial of aerobic exercise which slows progression in animal models of PD and has other health benefits. The investigators will measure the effect of exercise on symptoms, disease progression (using brain scans) and markers of PD risk (using blood tests). These studies will improve early PD diagnosis and potentially identify a way to slow progression of PD.
NCT03681015
The purpose of this study is to evaluate disease progression in persons with early Parkinson disease, as assessed by digital and electronic sensor data collection to be correlated with typical clinical assessments.
NCT02989610
The purpose of this post-market study is to characterize the clinical performance of the Infinity Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) system, including the Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG), directional DBS leads, extensions, iPad clinician programmer, iPod patient controller and related system components. Participants in the PROGRESS study are not assigned to interventional therapy groups. Participants in the PROGRESS study are followed in an observational format as they receive omnidirectional and then directional DBS programming that is part of routine medical care. Data on symptoms are collected during two different stages of programming, and those outcomes compared to assess the effect of omnidirectional or directional programming.
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.
NCT04350177
This study investigates the safety and tolerability of drug IkT-148009 in healthy elderly volunteers (55 to 70 years old). This first-in-human study is designed in 3 parts. In Part A, healthy participants will take a single, oral dose of IkT-148009 or placebo. Part A participants will be at the study site for approximately 4 days. In Part B, healthy participants will take an oral dose of IkT-148009 once a day for 7 days. Part B participants will be at the study site for approximately 12 days. In Part C, Parkinson\'s patients will take an oral dose of IkT-148009 once a day for 7 days. Part C participants will be at the study site for approximately 12 days.
NCT06829342
The present study explored the use of a technique called stochastic resonance (SR) stimulation that may help individuals with Parkinson Disease maintain balance while walking on challenging surfaces. Impaired balance represents one of the disease symptoms, putting people at risk for falls, partly due to impaired processing of sensory information. SR uses light electrical signals to improve the way the body detects sensations. We wanted to test if SR could help people with Parkinson disease stay steadier while walking. Each participant's optimal SR intensity was determined before they walked on a treadmill in a virtual environment that created visual disturbances to challenge their balance. We measured how much their body swayed, how they placed their feet, and how their ankles moved during the walking tasks.
NCT00955045
The primary objective of this study was to establish the long-term tolerability and safety of istradefylline treatment in subjects with Parkinson's disease treated with levodopa/carbidopa. In addition, treatment response and maintenance of response were assessed.
NCT00199407
To establish the efficacy of a 20 mg/day dose of istradefylline for reducing the percentage of OFF time in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with levodopa.
NCT00456586
12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, randomized study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 40 mg/day istradefylline compared with placebo in subjects with OFF phenomena advanced PD who were treated with levodopa/carbidopa.
NCT00199368
This is a 1-year, open-label, long-term safety extension for patients who have completed prior istradefylline studies 6002-EU-007, 6002-US-013 or 6002-US-018.
NCT04292223
To assess the effect of pimavanserin on the activities of daily living in subjects with Parkinson's Disease Psychosis
NCT03234478
Every year, approximately 9,000 Parkinson disease (PD) patients undergo deep brain stimulator (DBS) placement into the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS). Studies suggest that PD patients with mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene are at high risk for cognitive impairment and approximately 10-17% of subjects undergoing DBS carry GBA mutations. There may be an interaction between STN-DBS, which also impairs cognitive function, and GBA, resulting in worsened cognitive function. This project will 1) determine the relationship between GBA mutation status and post-operative STN-DBS cognitive function, 2) broaden genotype-phenotype relationships of GBA mutation carriers and 3) provide scientific knowledge regarding the longitudinal cognitive effects of DBS in GBA mutation carriers through repeated neuropsychological testing.
NCT05308238
Pre-Active PD is a randomized controlled feasibility study to evaluate the implementation of a telehealth-delivered physical activity behavior change intervention for people with early-mid stage Parkinson's disease. The program utilizes occupational therapists to provide one-to-one individualized support to facilitate and optimize exercise uptake as part of their disease self-management. The structure of the intervention is based on previous research in neurodegenerative disease including Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.
NCT04728295
Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Staged Bilateral Exablate Ablation of the Pallidothalamic Tract (PTT) for the Treatment of the Motor Complications of Parkinson's Disease (PD).
NCT03374917
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of 4 weeks of continuous infusion with ABBV-951 in adult subjects with Parkinson's Disease (PD).
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.
NCT02963259
This post-marketing evaluation has been designed to consistently investigate the subject's preference when switching from a Medtronic® constant voltage or constant current device to a St Jude Medical Infinity™ or St Jude Medical Brio™ constant current system. As electrodes will not be re-positioned, differences in subject's preference are to be explained by the difference in shape of the delivered pulse or waveform between the two systems.
NCT03623672
