About this study

Official title: PROGENI (Parkinson's Research: The Organized Genetics Initiative) Family Study

The PROGENI Family Study is part of a larger consortium that is studying a gene shown to be important in Parkinson's disease, called LRRK2. People who have a defect in the LRRK2 gene will often develop Parkinson's disease. Eligible participants will be asked to complete a single Study Visit at an affiliated research facility closest to their home.

Read the detailed description

Participants will be asked to complete a family history questionnaire, which will gather information about their family history of Parkinson's disease and related disorders. They will be asked to complete a single Study Visit, during which they will be asked to do some or all of the following:

  1. Complete questionnaires regarding Parkinson's disease symptoms, medical history, mood, sleep, mental status, and activity level.
  2. Be given a brief standard neurological examination.
  3. Be given a scratch and sniff smell identification test.
  4. Be asked to give a sample of approximately 2 tablespoons of blood.
  5. Be asked to give a urine sample of approximately 1 tablespoon of urine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Indiana University at 10 sites in 2 countries.

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 0 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 16 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, Canada. 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?

Observation and biological specimen collection (time frame: 1 time). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 16 Dec 2013.
