Study of ALN-SNCA for early Parkinson's disease
This trial tests a new experimental drug called ALN-SNCA, given as an injection into the spinal fluid, for people with early Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if it is safe and well-tolerated.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 50–80 - NCT05576818RecruitingPhase 3
Synbiotic add-on for people with Parkinson’s disease
This trial tests whether adding a synbiotic (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) along with standard Parkinson’s medicines can improve symptoms or health outcomes. It’s mainly for adults with Parkinson’s disease at earlier to mid-stages who take dopamine replacement therapy.
Tanta, El GharbiaAges 45–65 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 50–85 - NCT07170475RecruitingPhase 1
Study of febuxostat and inosine for Parkinson's disease
This trial tests whether a combination of two supplements, febuxostat and inosine, can help people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and may improve symptoms.
Toyoake, Aichi-kenAges 18–80 - NCT07105787Recruiting
Parkinson's exercise study: Tel Aviv and Bologna
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program can improve walking and movement in people with early to moderate Parkinson's disease. If you have trouble with your gait or balance, this study may offer a supervised exercise program to help manage symptoms.

GM101 injection for advanced Parkinson's disease
This trial tests an investigational gene therapy injection called GM101 for people with advanced Parkinson's disease whose symptoms are not well controlled by standard medications. The study will see if this treatment can help improve movement and quality of life.
ChangshaAges 40–70 - NCT07064005RecruitingPhase 1
Boosting glutathione with a supplement in Parkinson's
This study tests whether a supplement called gamma-glutamylcysteine can increase levels of a natural antioxidant called glutathione in the brain of people with Parkinson's. If you are between 50 and 80 and have mild cognitive symptoms, this trial may help researchers understand a new way to support brain health.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 50–80 - NCT05968703Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation study for mild memory trouble in Parkinson’s

Speeding up walking in Parkinson's with brain stimulation
This trial tests if a special type of brain stimulation (called TMS) can help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait—when your feet feel stuck to the floor. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve walking and reduce those freezing episodes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for parkinson’s disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 723 recruiting parkinson’s disease studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a parkinson’s disease trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a parkinson’s disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
