Clinical trials

The study aims to evaluate the burden of tau pathology in people with Sporadic and LRRK2 PD via in vivo imaging using the tau tracer, \[18F\]PI-2620, and a high resolution PET camera, NeuroEXPLORER.

The Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI) is a longitudinal, observational, multi-center natural history study to assess progression of clinical features, digital outcomes, and imaging, biologic and genetic markers of Parkinson's disease (PD) progression in study participants with manifest PD, prodromal PD, and healthy controls. The overall goal of PPMI is to identify markers of disease progression for use in clinical trials of therapies to reduce progression of PD disability.

BLAAC PD is a research study to understand what Parkinson's disease looks like for Black and African American communities. BLAAC PD is happening at research centers around the United States. The study is part of the Global Parkinson's Genetics Program (GP2). GP2 is a research project working to transform understanding of the genetics of Parkinson's disease and make that knowledge globally relevant.

The study is a longitudinal, multi-center study to assess progression of \[18F\] AV-133 imaging in Prodromal PD participants. Participants will be followed for up to 24 months. Approximately 100 Prodromal participants will be recruited from up to 10 sites. Participants will be comprehensively assessed at baseline and follow up. Participants will undergo imaging assessments with \[18F\] AV-133 and clinical (motor, neuropsychiatric, cognitive and imaging and biomarker) assessments (conducted under the PPMI Clinical protocol).

Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative Online (PPMI Online) is an observational study collecting participant reported information from people with and without Parkinson's disease (PD), for the goal of better understanding risk and predictive factors for PD. PPMI Online is part of the broader Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative aimed at identifying markers of disease progression for use in clinical trials of therapies to reduce progression of PD disability.
