Lithium for Parkinson's: an extension trial
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial extends a previous study to see if lithium can help Parkinson's symptoms. It's for people who already took part in a related study at the University at Buffalo.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have completed one of the earlier Parkinson's studies (STUDY00007253 or STUDY00008239) at the University at Buffalo.
- No unstable heart, medical, nerve (like Parkinson's itself), or mental health problems that the study doctor thinks could be unsafe.
- No current use of illegal drugs or alcohol abuse as judged by the study doctor.
- No past brain surgery or need for brain surgery (including deep brain stimulation) within the next 24 weeks.
- If you can become pregnant, you need a negative pregnancy test and must use birth control (barrier method or hormonal).
- You must be willing to sign a consent form and follow the study's rules.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests an investigational drug called LBT-3627 to see if it is safe and how the body processes it. It includes healthy volunteers and people with Parkinson's disease, and may help determine if the drug could be a future treatment.
This trial tests an investigational drug called GT-02287 in people with early-stage Parkinson's disease (diagnosed within the last 7 years). The goal is to see if it is safe and how the body processes it, with a special focus on people with certain genetic changes (GBA1 mutations) that may be linked to Parkinson's.
This trial tests a new oral medicine, GT-02287, to see if it can help people with early Parkinson's disease. It aims to improve symptoms and slow the disease, and it also tracks how the medicine affects certain markers in the body.
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.
This study is looking to improve how Parkinson’s and related brain conditions are identified and treated sooner. You may be asked to share your health information and provide blood or other samples, and possibly have procedures like a spinal fluid test or a small skin sample.
This study tests a new way to deliver lithium, a common treatment for bipolar disorder, using tiny gold particles. It aims to see if this method is safe and effective in laboratory models, which may lead to better treatments with fewer side effects.
