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 20 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Pearson correlation analysis is planned, and the sample size is calculated with PASS 15.0 software. 121 participants required after sample size calculation. The calculation parameters are as follows: Power = 0.90, α=0.05, ρ0 = 0.0, and ρ1 = 0.3.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients aged between 20 and 80 years and whose laboratory results included the levels of serum Cystatin C within a month from the PET-DAT were recruited.

Who cannot join

  • To make the study cohort more homogeneous, PD patients with either a long-standing duration (≥5 years) or advanced Hoehn and Yahr (H\&Y) staging (≥3) were excluded.

About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Serum Cystatin C and PET-DAT Study in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

To investigate the relationship between serum cystatin C and dopamine receptor(DAT) loss in patients with parkinson's disease(PD)

Read the detailed description

Number of people suffered from Parkinson disease (PD) is increasing every year. PET imaging of dopamine transport receptors(DAT) serves as the gold standard for the diagnosis and monitoring of PD development. However, due to high costs and radiation reasons, it is not suitable for long-term follow-up. Serum cystatin C can be easily obtained and cheap as an indicator. In recent years, studies have gradually found that it is related to the progression of H\&Y staging of Parkinson's disease. To this extent, we want to further explore whether it can reflect the loss of DAT in the brain. Explore whether it can partially replace the role of DAT imaging for future clinical evaluation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 1 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 15 Jun 2021. 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 China. 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 BaoRong Zhang, MD (13958167260, brzhang@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cystatin C assesses the loss of dopaminergic neurons (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 15 Jun 2021.
