Early Parkinson's Disease Monotherapy With CVN424
Recruiting
This is a multicenter, 12-week, placebo-controlled clinical trial of CVN424 150 milligrams (mg) tablets in early, untreated Parkinson's Disease (PD). Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to CVN424 150 mg or placebo at the Baseline Visit. The purpose of this study is to measure effect on motor features with CVN424 tablets compared to placebo in early, untreated PD and to evaluate the potential of CVN424 to improve motor and non-motor functions in participants with early PD who are not t...

Study in Parkinson Disease of Exercise
Recruiting
This study is a Phase 3 multi-site, randomized, evaluator-masked, study of endurance treadmill exercise on changes in the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III score at 12 months among persons with early stage Parkinson disease. 370 participants will be randomly assigned to 2 groups: 1)60-65% HRmax or 2)80-85% HRmax 4 times per week. The primary objective is to test whether the progression of the signs of Parkinson's disease is attenuated at 12 mon... Read More

Parkinson's Disease in Asian Americans
Recruiting
The ultimate goal of this project is to use the findings to develop culturally appropriate programs and resources that can be disseminated to key stakeholders to improve access to PD care and increase inclusivity in PD research for Asian Americans. This study will serve as a first step towards developing broader community and patient education programs and active outreach campaigns to increase PD-specific literacy among Asian Americans. The results from this study will elucidate the role that la... Read More

An RCT of a Telemedicine Intervention for Hypokinetic Dysarthria in PD
Recruiting
Nearly 90% of people with Parkinson's disease have speech and voice disorders that negatively impact their ability to communicate effectively in daily life. This study will test the hypothesis that a combined speech and exercise intervention will improve speech intelligibility in people with Parkinson's disease and speech impairment. This approach would offer an affordable way to continue to both instruct and encourage training by Veterans virtually indefinitely through the remote access technol... Read More
