The state of Minnesota currently has 24 active clinical trials seeking participants for Parkinson's Disease research studies. These trials are conducted in various cities, including Minneapolis, Rochester, Saint Paul and Duluth.
Identification of Prodromal Neurodegeneration in Serotonergic-Induced REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
Recruiting
This project will test the hypotheses that people with 5-HT RBD have systemic alpha- synuclein pathology, prodromal DLB signs, and brainstem lesions in regions that control REM sleep. AIM 1 will seek to detect abnormally phosphorylated alpha- synuclein aggregates on targeted skin biopsy in a cohort of people with 5-HT RBD and matched controls (taking SSRIs but without RBD). Aim 2 will use ultra-high field MRI at 7T to examine the pontine region of the coeruleus/subcoeruleus complex for evidence... Read More

Udall Project 1 Aim 4
Recruiting
By defining the strength and direction of connectivity patterns at rest and during movement across the basal ganglia-thalamocortical (BGTC) network we will characterize the role of individual circuits in motor performance and cognitive function, paving the way for future development of optimization algorithms for DBS that take advantage of this understanding.

Pathways Mediating Impaired Postural Control in Parkinson's Disease
Recruiting
The purpose of this project is to use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to explore the state of excitability of corticocortical and corticofugal (cortex to spinal cord, cortex to brainstem to spinal cord) pathways that project to muscles that control the legs and trunk in people with Parkinson's disease. The outcome variables will be further analyzed to understand their relationship to quantitative measures of postural instability and gait dysfunction. As such, the project can be classifie...

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...

Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacodynamics, and Pharmacokinetics of BIA 28-6156 in GBA-PD
Recruiting
The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to assess the efficacy of BIA 28-6156 over placebo in delaying clinical meaningful motor progression over 78 weeks in subjects with Parkinson's disease who have a pathogenic variant in the glucocerebrosidase 1 (GBA1) gene (GBA-PD).

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

Multiple Objective Particle Swarm Optimization Postural Instability Gait Disorder
Recruiting
Sixty patients will be enrolled in this study who are treated for Parkinson's disease (PD) with bilateral deep brain stimulation of subthalamic nucleus (STN) or globus pallidus (GP), who have a pre- operative 7 Tesla MRI including diffusion tensor imaging for tractography and a postoperative head CT for electrode localization, and in whom at least 3 months have passed since activation of their neurostimulators, for stabilization of clinical stimulator settings. Using their MRI and CT, the invest... Read More

Recruiting
In Parkinson's disease (PD) patients undergoing standard-of-care Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy, to compare the effect on Parkinson's symptoms of two different neurostimulator settings designed to differ from each other as much as possible with respect to how much they activate two different neuroanatomical structures: the axonal pathway from Globus Pallidus (GP) to Pedunculopontine Nucleus (PPN), and the axonal pathway from PPN to GP.

A Study of Caregiver Connections Via Technology in Dementia
Recruiting
This research is being done to develop a unique matching process for caregivers of persons living with dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal degeneration, or other dementia syndromes. Dementia caregivers often assume greater caregiving burden than do non-dementia caregivers, and the caregiving duration tends to be longer. Many caregivers do not have the adequate support they need. Peer-to-peer support has been shown to improve quality of life, more engagement... Read More
