Cancer risk in parkinson's patients with GBA gene mutation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people with Parkinson's disease who have a specific gene change (GBA mutation) have a higher chance of developing cancer. It will help doctors understand the link between these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by a doctor using standard criteria.
- You have a change (mutation) in a gene called GBA.
- Your diagnosis of Parkinson's is certain, not unclear.

This registry collects information about people with Parkinson’s who have specific changes in the GBA gene. The goal is to better understand how these gene changes affect Parkinson’s and support future research.
This study looks at early (before full disease) Parkinson-like symptoms in people who carry a specific genetic change called GBA1. It may help researchers understand who could develop Parkinson’s and how early signs can be tracked.
This trial tests a new gene therapy for Parkinson's disease in people who have a specific genetic change (GBA1 mutation) that may be causing their symptoms. The treatment aims to fix the root cause by delivering a corrected gene to the brain, which might help improve motor symptoms and reduce 'off' time.
This study looks at how a protein called alpha-synuclein spreads in Parkinson's disease by checking blood and brain scans. It aims to understand why some people develop Parkinson's and to find clues that could lead to better treatments.
This study tests whether an experimental drug called prasinezumab can help prevent memory and thinking problems in people with Parkinson's disease who carry a specific GBA gene change. It aims to slow down cognitive decline and improve quality of life.
This trial tests an experimental gene therapy injected directly into the brain, designed for people with Parkinson's disease who carry a specific genetic change called GBA1. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe, tolerable, and helps improve motor symptoms.
