Trial summary

In this investigator-initiated study, we will compare changes in brain cognitive biomarkers assessed by diffusion tensor imaging over 2.5 years among 12 patients with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) receiving rasagiline, 20 IPD patients not receiving MAO-B inhibitors and 25 age-matched healthy controls.

About this study

In this investigator-initiated study, we will compare changes in brain cognitive biomarkers assessed by diffusion tensor imaging over 2.5 years among 12 patients with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) receiving rasagiline, 20 IPD patients not receiving MAO-B inhibitors and 25 age-matched healthy controls. Will also compare the changes in Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores and plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) with changes in brain cognitive biomarkers in all IPD patients and HC over 2.5 years.

  2. Comparison of change in cognitive biomarkers with change in MMSE and MoCA scores

    Measured: 2.5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparison of Baseline plasma BDNF with magnitude of change in brain cognitive biomarkers and MMSE and MoCA scores

    Measured: 2.5 years

  2. Comparison of changes in plasma BDNF with changes in brain cognitive biomarkers and MMSE and MoCA scores

    Measured: 2.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease, run by State University of New York at Buffalo at 1 site in United States.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2023. 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?

Change in cognitive biomarkers assessed by DTI (time frame: 2.5 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Feb 2023.
