Recruiting studies near San Diego
- NCT04735627Recruiting
Real-time monitoring of levodopa levels in Parkinson’s
This study checks whether measuring levodopa (a Parkinson medicine) in real time can help better understand Parkinson medication effects. You may be asked to wear/perform study monitoring while taking your usual carbidopa/levodopa tablets.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 40–85 - NCT05400174Recruiting
How blood pressure changes affect thinking and brain flow in Parkinson’s
This study measures how your blood pressure affects thinking skills and how blood flows in the brain in people with Parkinson’s. It may help researchers understand what blood-pressure changes could mean for cognition in Parkinson’s.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06344026Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
A cell therapy trial for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests a new treatment made from your own cells to replace damaged brain cells, aiming to improve movement and reduce symptoms. It's for people who have had Parkinson's for at least 4 years and respond well to levodopa.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07174310RecruitingPhase 3
Prasinezumab for early Parkinson's disease
This study tests a new medication called prasinezumab, given through a vein (IV), to see if it can slow the progression of early-stage Parkinson's disease. It is for people who are on only one Parkinson's medication and have not yet developed motor complications.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 50–85 - NCT06482268RecruitingPhase 1
Cell transplant for advanced parkinson's disease
This trial tests a new type of cell transplant for Parkinson's disease. The cells are made from stem cells and are meant to replace damaged brain cells that produce dopamine, which may improve your motor symptoms.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 30 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.
Carlsbad, CaliforniaAges 30–80 - NCT07284823Recruiting
Cionic sleeve study for walking problems in Parkinson's
This trial tests a wearable sleeve that uses gentle electrical signals to help improve walking in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if the sleeve is safe and easy to use.

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.
