Study of causes and progression of synuclein-related nerve conditions

Study for early signs of Parkinson-related brain changes

Study for early RBD as a possible Parkinson’s risk
This study looks at people with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), confirmed by a sleep test, who may be in the early “prodromal” stage before Parkinson’s or related diseases. It also enrolls healthy controls to compare results from brain and body testing to better understand who is at risk.

PET imaging study for Parkinson's and related disorders
This study uses a new PET scan tracer called [11C]SY08 to take pictures of the brain in people with Parkinson's, multiple system atrophy, or dementia with Lewy bodies. It aims to see if this tracer can help better understand and tell apart these conditions.

Donanemab for Early Cognitive Decline with Lewy Bodies

What taking part in a lewy body disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
