Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Parkinson's Disease defined by UK Brain Bank criteria Siblings of cases of Parkinson's disease

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, based on UK Brain Bank criteria and made within the preceding 3 years ('recent onset cases') or diagnosed at under 50 years ('under 50 years cases')
  • Age ≥18 to <90years
  • Subject is able and willing to provided informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Patient has severe comorbid illness that would prevent full study participation
  • Patient has features indicating another type of degenerative parkinsonism, e.g. progressive supranuclear palsy
  • Drug-induced parkinsonism (Drug-unmasked PD is allowed)
  • Symmetrical lower body parkinsonism attributable to significant cortical and/or subcortical cerebrovascular disease (patients with 'incidental' small vessel disease on brain imaging are allowed).
  • Negative or normal functional imaging of the presynaptic dopamine system
  • The presence of UK Brain Bank exclusion criteria will be recorded at baseline, allowing for the presence of 1 or 2 exclusion criteria (e.g. dopamine antagonist Drug used; more than one affected relative) (if justified e.g. by abnormal SPECT).

About this study

Prospective observational study of Parkinson's disease with repeat clinical assessment and biobanking of blood samples.

Read the detailed description

To identify genetic and biomarker factors which affect the expression of Parkinson's Disease.

Primary objective: To define the severity and rates of progression of clinical features of Parkinson's Disease.

Secondary objective: To relate clinical phenomenology of Parkinson's disease to genetic and biomarker changes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of participants with Parkinson's who have gene mutations and variations

    Genotyping for leucine rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), Glucocerebrosidase (GBA) (all cases) and Parkin, Phosphatase and tensin homolog-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)(onset<50years)

    Measured: Up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Categorisation of subtypes of Parkinson's using cluster analysis

    Clustering of motor and non-motor features measured using Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (MDS-UPDRS), Montréal cognitive assessment (MoCA), Non-motor symptom Scale (NMSS), Scale for outcomes in Parkinson's autonomic (SCOPA-AUT), Olfaction testing using University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) or Sniffin' sticks, and Leeds anxiety and depression scale (LADS).

    This will use sequential factor analysis of the results of the above assessments, followed established methods, firstly exploratory factor analysis and secondly confirmatory factor analysis. Factor scores and other clinically important variables will then be combined to construct a single dataset for carrying out the cluster analysis. Hierarchical clustering will then be applied, and models with between 2 and 5 clusters will be described and compared.

    Measured: At 4 years

  2. Proportion of cases with Parkinson's who have vascular comorbidity and risk factors

    Prior history of vascular events, or calculated using Quantification of Risk version 2 (QRISK2) vascular risk score

    Measured: At 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease, run by South Glasgow University Hospitals NHS Trust.

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 3 inclusion and 12 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 29 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Proportion of participants with Parkinson's who have gene mutations and variations (time frame: Up to 36 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 NCT02881099, which also lists 2 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 29 Nov 2024.
