Parkinson's Disease Paid Clinical Trials in New Jersey

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).

This study investigates the safety and tolerability of drug IkT-148009 in untreated Parkinson's disease volunteers (30 to 80 years old). It also looks at the pharmacokinetics of IkT-148009 in the body and evaluates the effect of IkT-148009 on motor and non-motor features of the disease. This 12 week study is designed to be 3:1 randomized across 3 doses of IkT-148009 or placebo. Each participant will self-administer one of 3 doses or placebo of IkT-148009 once daily (QD) with food for 12 weeks. For more information, visit our website: www.the201trial.com Read Less

Learning deficits are frequent in individuals with Parkinson's Disease. Clear feedback is integral because through feedback individuals know whether they should stick with an action that they have been doing (if the feedback is positive), or change their course of action (if the feedback is negative). Learning though immediate feedback has been shown to be depended on the brain chemical dopamine that is disrupted in individuals with Parkinson's Disease. During learning, feedback can also be presented after a delay. The investigators propose that learning through delayed feedback will lead to greater learning in individuals with Parkinson's Disease, since learning through delayed feedback does not rely on dopamine. During the proposed paradigm, participants with Parkinson's Disease complete a multiple-choice test. After making their selection on the multiple-choice test, they either see feedback immediately or are given feedback 25 minute later after reviewing their selection on the multiple-choice test. The investigators hypothesize that participants will learn better when they are provided with delayed feedback. Read Less

This study asks three questions about Persons with Parkinson Disease that use a bicycle for exercise. 1. Does the use of virtual reality increase the intensity and and enjoyment of the experience compared to bicycling without virtual reality? 2. Does the way in which the bicycling (interval compared to continous) is performed affect the experience? 3. How does the way the virtual reality is delivered (with goggles or projected on a screen) affect the experience? Read Less

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.

The purpose of the research is to better understand the motor behavior of individuals in health and disease. The specific purpose of this project is to identify if we can utilize a smartphone to diagnose different movement disorders and monitor their symptoms. A. Objectives Estimate symptom severity of Essential tremor (ET), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), Primary focal dystonia (PFD), spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), and Functional movement disorders (FMD) using a smartphone-based application Differentiate individuals with the different movement disorders from healthy controls based on features from the smartphone data Differentiate individuals with a specific movement disorder from people with other movement disorders based on features from the smartphone data B. Hypotheses / Research Question(s) We hypothesize that we can estimate the severity of symptoms using a smartphone application and that, using those estimates, we can differentiate individuals with movement disorders from healthy controls and from people with other movement disorders.

IMPORTANCE: Rehabilitation games have been shown to improve cognitive function among people with various disorders but they have not been explored in home settings for patients with Parkinson's disease. OBJECTIVE: To collect pilot data regarding the therapeutic benefits of self-administered rehabilitation games among patients with Parkinson's disease. METHODS: The investigators will recruit 20 patients with Parkinson's disease into a pilot randomized controlled trial. Patients will be asked to perform two 30-minute sessions per week of training using serious games over a 3-month period in addition to conventional care or undergo only usual care. Patients will be evaluated at baseline, after 12 weeks of treatment, and at 24 weeks. Improvements in cognitive function, depression, quality of life, and mobility will be assessed. RELEVANCE: Identifying whether self-administered rehabilitation games can lead to clinical improvements could have significant implications for the management of the disease. Read Less

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dipraglurant in PD patients with dyskinesia (randomized 1:1 to receive active or placebo) for 12 weeks (1 week at 150 mg per day and 11 weeks at 300 mg per day). The primary efficacy assessment will be based on the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS). Patients who complete the 12-week blinded treatment period may have the option to roll into an open-label safety extension study for an additional 12-month treatment period. Read Less

This open-label study is designed to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of dipraglurant in PD patients for up to 52 weeks (at doses of 150-300 mg per day) for patients that have completed an Addex sponsored double-blind clinical trial of dipraglurant. Read Less
