Evaluation of Tau-Pathology in Sporadic and LRRK2 Parkinson's Disease

Studying Tau-Pathology in Parkinson's Disease patients.

Recruiting
45-85 years
All
Phase 2

This study checks for a problem called tau pathology in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD) using a special imaging method. Tau pathology is when a protein, called tau, builds up in the brain and may lead to problems like memory loss and movement issues. The study uses a tool called a PET scan, which is a type of camera that takes detailed pictures of the brain. They are testing a new PET camera called the NeuroEXPLORER. This study will take two years. In the first year, 30 people with different conditions, including PD, will be recruited. The second year will focus on following up with participants to see changes over time.

  • The study lasts for 2 years with multiple visits for imaging.
  • Participants may be scanned with new and old PET cameras for better comparison.
  • Participants must be between 45-85 years old and follow specific guidelines for safety.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
