Quantification of Phosphorylated Alpha-synuclein in Cutaneous Biopsies as a Prospective Biomarker in Parkinson's Disease

Measuring Alpha-synuclein in skin biopsies for Parkinson's research.

Recruiting
50 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study is looking at a protein called phosphorylated alpha-synuclein or P-SYN, which may help doctors understand Parkinson's disease better. This protein is found in the skin, so they will use a skin punch biopsy, a small procedure to take a bit of skin. The study will last 18 months with check-ups every six months. They want to see if the amount of P-SYN changes over time in people with Parkinson's disease or REM Behavior Disorder. This might help in tracking the disease's progress.

  • Participants need to be between 50 and 100 years old and have Parkinson's disease or REM Sleep Behavior Disorder.
  • The study includes regular medical exams and skin biopsies every six months.
  • People with certain health issues like severe vascular disease or allergies to Lidocaine cannot join.

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
