Recruiting studies near San Francisco
- 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 30–80 - 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 45–75 - NCT07567794Recruiting
Gut-Brain Connection Study in Parkinson's Disease
This research examines how the gut and brain are connected in Parkinson's disease and aims to better understand the disease. You'd participate in visits and tests over three years, including some involving your digestive system.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 21–80 - NCT05504902Enrolling by invitation
Device training for advanced Parkinson’s using touch feedback
This study tests whether coordinated touch (vibrotactile) training can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson’s. You may be asked to use a special device and attend virtual check-ins, with some visits requiring stopping Parkinson’s meds for short periods.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05968703Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation study for mild memory trouble in Parkinson’s
This trial looks at a specific type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) to see if it can help people with Parkinson’s who have mild cognitive problems (mild memory/thinking changes). You may also be asked to temporarily stop Parkinson’s medications around research visits to measure effects more clearly.

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.
