About this study

Official title: Functional and Metabolomic Biomarkers of Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease

This study evaluates metabolic and functional parameters in the skeletal muscle of Parkinson's disease patients for comparison to a set of healthy age-matched controls.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this study is to identify the unique signature of bioenergetic markers and mitochondrial (dys)function in muscle of individuals with PD, who are 65-85 of age, read and speak English, have a Hoehn \& Yahr score between 2 and 3 (bilateral disease, not severely disabled) and have a clinical diagnosis of PD. Bioenergetic markers and muscle functional properties will be compared to a control dataset collected over the last few years from healthy elderly subjects in the same age range to provide a foundation for future intervention studies.

What is being measured

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

  1. ATPmax

    Maximal mitochondrial ATP production rates measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy

    Measured: baseline

  2. NAD(H) metabolites

    Measurement of relative NAD(H) metabolite concentrations in resting skeletal muscle by magnetic resonance spectroscopy

    Measured: baseline

  3. Muscle force and endurance

    Maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) force in Newtons and fatigue resistance assessed by the ability to maintain repeated contractions at 70% MVC will be measured in the hand (flexor digitorum interroseus) and leg (tibialis anterior) using isometric contractions in a custom made apparatus.

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Mitochondrial metabolites

    Separate measurement of NAD(H) metabolite concentrations in cytosol and mitochondria by magnetic resonance spectroscopy in resting skeletal muscle

    Measured: baseline

  2. Relationship between self report function and mitochondrial energetics

    Correlation between self report of fatigue, balance, and muscle pain (PRO-PD) with ATPmax rates and NAD(H) metabolite concentrations measured using magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

    Measured: baseline

  3. Relationship between clinical assessment and mitochondrial energetics

    Correlation between UPDRS with ATPmax and NAD(H) metabolites

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, Mitochondrial, run by University of Washington 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Sophia Liu, PhD (206-685-3533, sophia21@uw.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ATPmax (time frame: baseline). The study lists 3 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 5 Nov 2020.
