Trial summary

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most frequent neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease. It is characterized by motor symptoms (rigidity, tremor, slowness of movements), and non-motor symptoms (neuropsychological, psychiatric, pain ...). Read more about this study

About this study

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most frequent neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease. It is characterized by motor symptoms (rigidity, tremor, slowness of movements), and non-motor symptoms (neuropsychological, psychiatric, pain ...). Neuronal death initiates in the brainstem and extends progressively through the entire cortex. The processes leading to cell death are poorly understood. Pathological cells exhibit abnormal deposits, called Lewy bodies, which contain numerous proteins. A major constituent of these protein deposits is alpha-synuclein. It has recently been demonstrated, in the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics of the CNRS (Scientific Research National Center) in Orleans, that α-synuclein interacts with Cytogaligin, a protein produced by the proapoptotic GALIG gene. Cytogaligin could thus be a factor regulating α-synuclein activity or aggregation. It is postulated that the level of expression of the GALIG gene is different in Parkinson's disease patients compared with control subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sampling in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans at 1 site in France.

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 2 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 1 Sep 2020. 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 France. 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?

RNA (ribonucleic acid) assay of GALIG gene (time frame: Day 0). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02923297, which also lists 3 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 1 Sep 2020.
