A Study of CREXONT (Carbidopa and Levodopa) Extended-Release Capsules in Participants With Parkinson's Disease
Testing a carbidopa and levodopa extended-release capsule in people with Parkinson’s
📍 Barrow Neurological Institute · Phoenix, AZ · +26 more US sites · Get directions →
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of CREXONT under real world conditions in participants with Parkinson disease (PD).
- Obesity / overweightHigh blood pressure
Impact GLP-1 Agonists Following Bariatric
Testing whether GLP-1 medicines after bariatric surgery affect weight and blood sugar
📍 University of Missouri Hospital · Columbia, MO · Get directions →
Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose levels through improved insulin sensitivity and release of insulin from the pancreas, control hunger, induce satiety and plays a role in the metabolic health of a person. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have been shown to be effective in achieving weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes while improving blood glucose control.

Cortical Electrophysiology of Response Inhibition in Parkinson's Disease
Studying how deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s affects brain control of stopping actions
📍 Emory University Hospital · Atlanta, GA · +1 more US site · Get directions →
Patients with Parkinson's Disease will be studied before, during, and after a deep brain stimulation implantation procedure to see if the stimulation location and the size of the electrical field produced by subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS determine the degree to which DBS engages circuits that involve prefrontal cortex executive functions, and therefore have a direct impact on the patient's ability to inhibit actions.

Optimizing Portal Hypertension With TIPS and Interval Metabolic Surgery for Advanced Liver Disease
Testing treatments to lower high pressure in liver veins in people with advanced liver disease and
📍 Cleveland Clinic Main Campus · Cleveland, OH · Get directions →
Cirrhosis is a form of advanced liver disease that can lead to serious complications, especially when combined with severe obesity. Many patients with cirrhosis also develop a condition called clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH), which is increased pressure in the veins of the liver.
- Parkinson's disease
BOOST-PD A Naturalistic Study on IPX-203 for Parkinson's Disease
Testing a new long-acting levodopa dose to improve “on” time in Parkinson’s
📍 Cleveland Clinic · Cleveland, OH · Get directions →
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of IPX203 (Crexont®) - the newest extended-release levodopa formulation - on the duration and quality of good on time, using a wearable device to monitor symptoms. 'Good on time' refers to a period (minutes to hours) when a patient experiences optimal symptom control due to effective medication and has better overall functioning without troublesome dyskinesias.

Pimavanserin vs. Quetiapine for Treatment of Parkinson's Psychosis
Comparing treatments to see which works better for hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease
📍 Southern Arizona VA Health Care System, Tucson, AZ · Tucson, AZ · +23 more US sites · Get directions →
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) sometimes experience symptoms affecting their movement, such as slowness, tremor, stiffness, and balance or walking problems. Many patients also have other symptoms not related to movement, called non-motor symptoms, which may affect one's mood or emotions, memory or thinking, or cause one to see or hear things that aren't real (hallucinations) or believe things that aren't true (delusions).
- Dementia / Alzheimer'sParkinson's disease
Elucidating the Role of Cholinergic Degeneration in Cognitive Fluctuations in Lewy Body Dementia
Studying how nerve cell loss affects thinking ups and downs in Lewy body dementia
📍 Virginia Commonwealth University · Richmond, VA · Get directions →
The proposed study aims to address the critical gaps in understanding the mechanisms of CF (Cognitive Fluctuations) by leveraging recently emerged molecular biomarkers, advanced neuroimaging techniques to assess measures of cholinergic degeneration, and synchronous EEG and assessments of attention. One of the overarching innovations of study is combining all of these assessments into one integrated research plan
- Parkinson's disease
Personalized Real-Time DBS and PD Mechanisms
Studying how closed-loop deep brain stimulation and levodopa affect Parkinson’s motor symptoms
📍 Cleveland Clinic · Cleveland, OH · Get directions →
A prospective cohort of patients scheduled to undergo deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantation surgery for the treatment of Parkinson's disease as per standard of care will be invited to participate in this study. This mechanistic study is aimed at better understanding the role of basal ganglia beta band (11-35 Hz) oscillations and resonance in the manifestation of Parkinson's disease (PD) motor signs using closed-loop electrical neurostimulation, levodopa medication, and computational modeling.

Characterization of the Serotonin 2A Receptor Selective PET Tracer [18F]MH.MZ in Patients With Neurodegenerative Diseases
Measuring serotonin 2A brain receptor activity in people with Parkinson’s
📍 Vanderbilt University Medical Center · Nashville, TN · Get directions →
It is hypothesize that patients with clinically diagnosed neurodegenerative diseases will have significantly different receptor occupancy of 5HT2A receptors compared to a healthy age/sex-matched control group. This will be tested by measuring 5HT2A receptor density using the PET radioligand (R)-\[18F\]MH.MZ in both populations.
- Dementia / Alzheimer'sParkinson's disease
Comparing Antipsychotic Medications in LBD Over Time
Comparing medicines to see which works better for hallucinations or delusions in Lewy body disease
📍 University Health System · San Antonio, TX · +1 more US site · Get directions →
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether treatment with pimavanserin or quetiapine is associated with a greater improvement in psychosis when used in a routine clinical setting to treat hallucinations and/or delusions due to Parkinson's disease (PD) or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) - collectively referred to as Lewy body disease (LBD).
