About this study

Official title: Ongoing, Web-Based Genome-Wide Association Studies for Targeted Disease Initiatives

The purpose of this study is to examine how genes and environment affect risk for Parkinson's disease.

Read the detailed description

23andMe has created a web-based Parkinson's research initiative to understand the genetic associations found between Parkinson's patients' DNA and their disease. To learn more, visit: https://www.23andme.com/pd/. You can participate in this research initiative without leaving home. If you are eligible to participate, we will send you an in-home 23andMe DNA kit at no cost. We will ask you short online surveys (15-20) about your Parkinson's journey, symptoms, and response to treatment. Enrollment is on-going and open to individuals who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and are residents of the U.S. Participants receive access to ancestry information and uninterpreted genetic data. Participants will also receive regular updates on our research efforts and findings.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Saliva DNA test and online surveys with questions about Parkinson's disease experience, symptoms and response to treatment

    We want to learn how genes and environment could play role in Parkinson's disease risk and progression

    Measured: Intermittent surveys every 6 months for up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease, run by 23andMe, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Saliva DNA test and online surveys with questions about Parkinson's disease experience, symptoms and response to treatment (time frame: Intermittent surveys every 6 months for up to 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01351467, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Nov 2022.
