NCT07310264
This is a first-in-human (FIH) study of orally administered VT-5006 (also known as AX-5006) in healthy adult volunteers (HVs) and adult participants with Parkinson's disease (PD). The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if VT-5006 is safe and tolerable in healthy volunteers and in participants with PD. It has three Parts (A, B, and C). Part A: Healthy volunteers aged 18-54 will attend a screening visit, take a single dose of VT-5006 or matching placebo after an overnight fast, stay in the clinic for three nights, and complete a follow-up visit. One group of participants in Part A will be asked to return to the clinic after approximately two weeks, take a single dose of VT-5006 or matching placebo after consuming a high-fat meal and stay in the clinic for another three nights. Part B: Healthy volunteers aged 18-54 will attend a screening visit, take one dose of VT-5006 or matching placebo each day for seven days after fasting overnight, stay in the clinic for 10 nights, and complete a follow up visit. Part C: Participants with PD aged 40-80 will attend a screening visit, take one dose of VT-5006 (high dose), VT-5006 (low dose), or matching placebo each day for 28 days, complete two overnight stays in the clinic, attend three clinic visits, one phone call and a follow up visit.
NCT07322887
The main goal of the study is to investigate how well the new drug SUL-238 works in Parkinson's Disease (PD). This is done by means of an MRS scan. An MRS scan is similar to a regular MRI scan. It will also learn about the safety of new drug SUL-238. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does new drug SUL-238 improve the mitochondrial function in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD)? * What medical problems do participants have when taking new drug SUL-238? Researchers will compare new drug SUL-238 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if SUL-238 works to improve mitochondrial function in patients with PD. Participants will: * Take new drug SUL-238 or a placebo every day for 28 days * Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests during the treatment period and finally 28 days after the last dose of SUL-238 * Keep a diary of their symptoms and the number of times they use oral new drug SUL-238
NCT07417280
Low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUS) has the potential to be used as a means of non-invasive neuro-modulation. To this day, the use of LIFUS is under investigation. Studies in healthy subjects have shown that application of LIFUS to the motor region of the brain can mildly decrease neuron excitability in healthy controls. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effects of LIFUS on brain tissue excitability in patients with movement disorders in order to elucidate the therapeutic potential of LIFUS.
NCT06107426
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. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective ABBV-951 is in treating adult participants with advanced PD in real world setting. ABBV-951 (foslevodopa/foscarbidopa) is an approved drug for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. The main ROSSINI study will have approximately 450 adult participants with PD (300 participants new to ABBV-951, up to 150 participants transitioning from open-label extension study) will be enrolled across approximately 60 sites. Decision to treat with ABBV-951 (or continue the treatment in Cohort B) will be made by the doctor prior to any decision to approach the participant to participate in this study. There will be a sub-study that will enroll 40 naïve participants who initiated Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa treatment for the first time (Cohort A of the ROSSINI parent study only) from 6 to 15 centers in the United States, Germany and Spain. All participants will receive subcutaneous infusion of ABBV-951 for approximately 3 years. Participants will attend regular clinic visits during the course of the study. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, and completing questionnaires.
NCT07213999
The purpose of this research is to test a new recorder that can measure brain activity when stimulation is turned on during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. To continue to improve DBS therapy, the investigators need to better understand the changes in the brain of people with Parkinson's disease (PD). They also need to know how this is affected by DBS. Current recorders measure activity immediately after, but not during, stimulation. Standard-of-care DBS already includes the electrical recording of brain activity during movement of arms and legs. These recordings occur during the microelectrode recording part of the surgery and are used by the medical team to determine where to place the DBS electrode.
NCT03781167
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and tolerability of ABBV-951 (Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa) in participants with Parkinson's disease (PD). This was a single-arm study with preplanned analyses conducted by dose subgroup (Low Dose or High Dose) based on the modal total daily dose (most frequent dose) over the treatment period.
NCT02381444
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of LCIG (levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel) on HRQL (Health-Related Quality of Life) of participants and compare the Health-Related Quality of Life between participants continuing to levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel treatments versus participants continuing on oral therapy for Parkinson's Disease.
NCT01883973
Most leading academic centers including Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) perform deep brain stimulation surgery in the awake patient using microelectrode recording to guide final electrode placement. Microelectrode recording is a means of analyzing the electrical activity of the brain, and assessing whether we have found the target for the deep brain stimulator electrode. However, no evidence exists that microelectrode recording improves patient outcomes. The use of microelectrode recording does extend the duration of surgery and there is evidence to suggest that microelectrode recording may increase the risk of bleeding in the brain during surgery.
NCT02103894
The goal of this study is to assess \[18F\]MNI-777 PET imaging as a tool to detect tau pathology in the brain of individuals who carry a clinical diagnosis of a tauopathy, including: Alzheimer's Disease (AD),Parkinson's disease (PD) Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Frontal Temporal Dementia (FTD) and age- and gender-matched healthy subjects.
NCT02778594
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of three single oral doses of nebicapone (50 mg, 100 mg and 200 mg) on the levodopa pharmacokinetics when administered in combination with a single-dose of controlled release levodopa 100 mg/benserazide 25 mg (Madopar® HBS 125).
