About this study

Official title: An Observational Study to Explore the Role of Alpha-Synuclein-related Biomarkers in the Diagnosis and Disease Evaluation of Parkinson's Disease and Other Synucleinopathies

The study is a multi-center, observational study to evaluate the feasibility of α-synuclein-related biomarkers and imaging data in the disease diagnosis and prognosis evaluation in Synucleinopathies and healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

In the study, a total number of no more than 100 subjects are planned to be enrolled.

Subjects who are eligible for enrollment will be enrolled in the study after signing the informed consent form (ICF) and undergo 3 visits, including the baseline visit (the day of first blood sample collection), visit 1 (day 183 post-enrollment), and visit 2 (day 366 post-enrollment).

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the difference of α-synuclein-related biomarkers between patients and healthy subjects

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Attempt to evaluate the correlation between α-synuclein and disease progression by comparing α-synuclein levels at baseline

    Measured: 6 months, and 12 months

  2. To evaluate the differences of imaging-related indicators in PD, MSA, and their correlation with the disease by brain positron emission tomography (PET)

    Measured: 12 months

  3. To evaluate the correlation between α-synuclein levels and imaging data.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease and Multiple System Atrophy, run by SciNeuro at 4 sites 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 14 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 22 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

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?

To evaluate the difference of α-synuclein-related biomarkers between patients and healthy subjects (time frame: 12 months). 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 22 Nov 2023.
