Trial summary

The goal of this project is to identify objective, sensitive, and convenient measures for assessing early signs of Parkinson's disease in an at-risk population at home. We will do so by using a wireless sensor and analyzing the radio signals that bounce off patients' bodies, while patients go about their normal life… Read more about this study

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 50 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: We will enroll LRRK2 G2019S carriers without self-reported or clinician-determined Parkinson's disease (PD) from the VALOR-PD study. VALOR-PD is an observational study following and characterizing a remote, nationwide cohort of LRRK2 G2019S carriers with (n = 59) and without PD (n = 218). Individuals who have a diagnosis of PD will not be eligible to participate, since we aim to explore the device's sensitivity in detecting early symptoms/signs of PD.

Who may be able to join

  • At least 50 years of age
  • Able and willing to provide informed consent
  • English fluency
  • U.S. resident
  • LRRK2 G2019S gene carrier, determined by participation in VALOR-PD
  • Mild parkinsonian signs, determined by modified Movement Disorder Society-Unifeid Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) score from the most recent VALOR-PD visit
  • Have WiFi in their residence
  • Access to a smartphone or tablet

Who cannot join

  • Inability to complete study activities, as determined by the study team
  • Any medical or psychiatric condition that, in the study team's judgement, would preclude participation
  • Self-reported or VALOR-PD investigator determined Parkinson's disease
  • Any movement disorder (e.g. essential tremor)
  • Currently taking neuroleptics or other drugs known to cause parkinsonism
  • Pregnancy

  • Non-ambulatory status
  • More than one ambulatory pet in the household*
  • More than two individuals in the household (not including participant)*

About this study

The goal of this project is to identify objective, sensitive, and convenient measures for assessing early signs of Parkinson's disease in an at-risk population at home. We will do so by using a wireless sensor and analyzing the radio signals that bounce off patients' bodies, while patients go about their normal life without needing to wear sensors, answer questionnaires, or actively perform any tests.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Emerald deviceDevice

    The Emerald device is a wireless sensor that can track the motion, breathing, and sleep of participants without touching or requiring any interaction with the participants, allowing them to go about their normal lives. The Emerald device operates by transmitting and receiving low power radio signals that reflect off of the participant and return back to the device. The power of these signals is 1,000 times lower than what a typical Wi-Fi device transmits. The ability of the device to monitor gait, breathing, sleep, and other metrics has been validated and documented. Studies of the Emerald device in individuals with Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and rare diseases have demonstrated the feasibility of monitoring at home and the ability to characterize gait, breathing, and sleep in these populations specifically. In this study, the Emerald device will be used to characterize the mobility, breathing and sleep of the participant.

What is being measured

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

  1. Gait speed

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by University of Rochester 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 8 inclusion and 10 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 28 Jun 2024. 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?

Gait speed (time frame: 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 28 Jun 2024.
