Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT06719583Recruiting
Black and African Americans Connections to Parkinson's Disease
This study is building a research registry to learn more about how Parkinson's disease affects Black and African American communities. If you have Parkinson's or are a healthy volunteer, you can join by giving a saliva sample for genetic research.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06285643RecruitingPhase 2
Gene therapy for moderate Parkinson's disease
This trial tests a gene therapy (AAV2-GDNF) to see if it can slow or improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It is for people who have had moderate Parkinson's for 4 to 10 years and still respond to levodopa therapy.
Houston, TexasAges 45–75 - NCT06944522RecruitingPhase 3
Cell therapy for Parkinson's symptoms
This study tests a new cell therapy called bemdaneprocel to see if it can reduce Parkinson's symptoms and “off” time. The treatment involves transplanting special cells into the brain to help replace lost dopamine-producing cells.
Houston, TexasAges 45–75 - NCT06765668RecruitingPhase 4
Study of CREXONT for Parkinson's with wearing-off episodes
This study tests how well CREXONT, an extended-release form of carbidopa-levodopa, controls symptoms in people with Parkinson's who experience predictable 'off' periods when their regular medication wears off. The goal is to see if it can reduce the daily hours of poor mobility.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07176286RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan study for diagnosing Lewy body dementia
This trial is testing a special PET scan that uses a radioactive tracer (18F-mFBG) to see how much it is taken up by the heart. The goal is to help tell Lewy body disease (Parkinson's or Lewy body dementia) apart from other brain disorders.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04373317RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two medicines for hallucinations in Parkinson's disease
This study compares two drugs, pimavanserin and quetiapine, to see which works better for hallucinations or delusions caused by Parkinson's disease. The goal is to help patients manage these symptoms more effectively.
Houston, TexasAges 40 years+ - NCT06680830RecruitingPhase 2
Testing NEU-411 for early Parkinson's with LRRK2 gene change
This trial tests an experimental drug called NEU-411 for people with early Parkinson's disease who have a specific genetic change (LRRK2). It aims to see if the drug can slow the disease progression.
Houston, TexasAges 40–80 - NCT02071134Recruiting
Registry study for Vercise deep brain stimulation patients
This study keeps a record of people who receive the Vercise deep brain stimulation system. It helps doctors learn how the treatment is used in real-world care and how patients do over time.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07330258Recruiting
Observing Parkinson's over time in people still having movement symptoms
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease who still have movement symptoms despite taking medication. It aims to understand how the disease changes over time, which could help improve future treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 45–75 - NCT04477785Recruiting
Study to track Parkinson’s signs using imaging, spinal fluid, and genes
This study is building a large, detailed group of people—some with Parkinson’s and some at higher risk—to understand early changes over time. It uses brain imaging (DaTscan SPECT), sometimes spinal fluid tests (lumbar puncture), and genetic information to help researchers better measure disease and develop future treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 30 years+ - NCT04994015RecruitingTeam says not enrolling
Genetic registry for people with Parkinson’s
This study builds a genetics “registry” of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease who agree to genetic testing. Your information may help researchers understand why Parkinson’s happens and improve future treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07432958RecruitingPhase 2
Study of AP-472 with levodopa for Parkinson's motor fluctuations
This trial tests an experimental drug called AP-472, taken alongside your regular Parkinson's medications, to see if it can reduce the amount of "OFF" time you experience each day when symptoms return between doses of levodopa.

What taking part in a parkinson’s 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
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
