Test of RO7568282 in early Parkinson's disease
Official title: A Phase II, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of RO7568282 in Participants With Early-stage Parkinson's Disease
Run by Hoffmann-La Roche · NCT07781644 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether RO7568282, compared with placebo, is safe and helps people with early Parkinson's disease who are already taking levodopa.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 40–85 with idiopathic Parkinson's disease, on stable levodopa monotherapy, and specific disease-stage criteria (MDS-UPDRS Part IV = 0; H&Y ≤ 3 off medication).
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with alternative parkinsonian syndromes, PD dementia, significant cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or structural brain abnormalities may not benefit and could be excluded.

What this trial studies
This interventional Phase 2 trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and potential efficacy of RO7568282 vs placebo in adults with early-stage Parkinson's disease who are on a stable levodopa regimen. Participants will be randomized to receive RO7568282 or placebo and will be monitored for changes in symptoms and safety over a defined period. Eligibility includes age 40–85, idiopathic PD, stable levodopa monotherapy, and a low MDS-UPDRS Part IV score, among other criteria. The study is conducted at sites in Boca Raton, Shanghai, and Dundee, with Hoffmann-La Roche as lead sponsor.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, RO7568282 could offer improved symptom control or disease modification beyond current levodopa therapy.
How similar studies have gone: Prior efforts in similar disease-modifying strategies in Parkinson's have shown mixed results; this trial explores a novel agent with a structured Phase 2 design to assess safety and potential efficacy.
