About this study

The goal of this observational study is to define digital biomarkers of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients using wearable devices. The main questions it aims to answer is:

  • Is there a biomarkers that allows the identification of PD from healthy controls?
  • Is there a biomarkers that can identify the severity of the disease?
  • Is there a biomarkers with clinical and therapeutic application that can be used in clinical and free living conditions to monitor the evolution of the disease?

Participants have to perform a set of guided exercises related to the MDS-UPDRS guide and daily living tasks, in supervised and unsupervised conditions.

Read the detailed description

The participants must perform a set of exercises related to the MDS-UPDRS III scale and some free-living activities. These tasks must be performed wearing a smartwatch.

The activities will be done in supervised clinical and unsupervised free-living environments. The participants must perfom a baseline and a final assesment in supervised conditions and a week of free living monitoring.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT06817772
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Parkinson's disease groupThe inclusion criterion to this group is a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease based on the UK Brain Bank criteria.
Healthy control groupThe inclusion criterion is participants without movement disorders.

What is being measured

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

  1. Biomarkers for the identification of PD patients

    A set of biomarkers will be defined for the identification of PD patients by comparing their data with that of healthy subjects.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. biomarkers for the prediction MDS-UPDRS scores in PD patients

    A collection of biomarkers will be calculated to predict MDS-UPDRS scores in PD patients

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Biomarkers in supervised and unsupervised conditions

    A comparation between the biomarkers defined in supervised settings versus those defined in free-living environments.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease and Parkinson, run by Universidad Politecnica de Madrid at 1 site in Spain.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2025. 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 Spain. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Biomarkers for the identification of PD patients (time frame: 1 year). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06817772, 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 20 Feb 2025.
