Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with idiopathic early-stage Parkinson's disease (Hoehn and Yahr stage 1–2) on stable levodopa monotherapy who meet the study's weight/BMI and screening score requirements.
✕Probably not a fit
People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have non-idiopathic parkinsonism or other significant neurological disease, or have uncontrolled chronic hypertension are excluded and unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trial testing intravenous prasinezumab compared with placebo in participants with early-stage idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Adults must be on stable symptomatic monotherapy with levodopa, meet Hoehn and Yahr stage 1–2 off medication, and have an MDS-UPDRS Part IV score of 0 at screening. The study will collect efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic (PK) data over the treatment and follow-up periods. Key exclusions include non-idiopathic parkinsonian syndromes, other significant neurologic diseases, pregnancy/breastfeeding, and uncontrolled chronic hypertension.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, prasinezumab could slow disease progression in early Parkinson's and improve longer-term clinical outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Earlier clinical programs of prasinezumab and other anti–alpha-synuclein antibodies have been conducted with mixed or inconclusive results, so this Phase 3 trial is testing the approach at larger scale.
