• Imaging PD progression with [18F]AV-133 using high- and standard-resolution PET

  This study tests how [18F]AV-133 PET imaging changes over 12 months in people with Parkinson's disease and a small group of healthy controls.

  Recruiting Phase 2 Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research · New Haven, Connecticut · NCT07830654

• Comparing High vs Standard Resolution PET Imaging in Prodromal Parkinson’s Disease

  We’re testing whether a high-resolution PET camera provides clearer images than a standard one for people in the prodromal phase of Parkinson’s disease.

  Recruiting Phase 2 Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research · New Haven, Connecticut · NCT07809438

• Early longitudinal AV-133 PET imaging in people with prodromal Parkinson's

  This study will try repeated 18F-AV-133 PET scans over two years to track early brain changes in people with prodromal Parkinson's.

• Tau PET imaging in sporadic and LRRK2 Parkinson's disease

  Using the tau PET tracer [18F]PI-2620 and a high-resolution NX PET camera, this will see if people with sporadic or LRRK2 Parkinson's disease have more tau protein in their brains than healthy and disease controls.

  Recruiting Phase 2 Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research · New Haven, Connecticut · NCT07020026

• Understanding Parkinson's Disease in Black and African American Communities

  This study is trying to learn more about the genetic factors of Parkinson's disease in Black and African American communities to help improve diagnosis and treatment for those affected.

  Recruiting at 11 sites Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research · Birmingham, Alabama and 11 other locations · NCT06719583

• Understanding risk factors for Parkinson's disease through participant reports

  This study is trying to find out what factors might increase the risk of getting Parkinson's disease by gathering information from people with and without the condition.

  Recruiting Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research · San Francisco, California · NCT05065060

• Long-term observation of Parkinson's disease progression and biomarkers

  This study is trying to track how Parkinson's disease changes over time in people with the condition, those at risk, and healthy individuals to find signs that can help in future treatments.
