Parkinson's and MSA study with biosamples and imaging
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study collects data from people with Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy (MSA) to better understand these conditions. You will have blood, saliva, optional spinal fluid tests, and brain scans (MRI, PET/SPECT).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must have a doctor-confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease or multiple system atrophy (MSA).
- Must be willing to provide blood, saliva, and optional spinal fluid samples.
- Must be able to undergo brain scans (MRI, PET/SPECT).
- Cannot have had a stroke, head injury, brain tumor, or brain surgery.
- Cannot have severe mental health conditions like uncontrolled depression or schizophrenia.
- Cannot have other serious health problems that would affect study participation.

This study tests an investigational imaging agent called SST001, which may help doctors see a protein linked to Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) in the body. It will be given to healthy volunteers and patients with PD or MSA to check safety, how it spreads, and how the body handles it.
This study follows people with certain rare brain conditions that affect movement and thinking, such as multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, progressive supranuclear palsy, and corticobasal degeneration. It aims to learn more about how these conditions progress over time, which may help improve future care.
This study uses brain scans and clinical check-ins to better diagnose and predict how Parkinson-related conditions may progress over time. It may help researchers find markers that explain why symptoms change, and could improve future care.
This study is collecting information from patients with multiple system atrophy (a rare neurological condition affecting movement and body functions), Parkinson disease, and healthy volunteers to better understand these conditions. By participating, you help doctors learn more about how these diseases develop and progress.
This study looks at genetic factors in people with PSP, CBS, MSA, or similar brain conditions, and also in their family members. It involves genetic testing to learn more about these diseases and may help find new treatments.
This study uses brain scans (PET, and possibly spinal fluid) to measure changes linked to “synaptic loss” in people with multiple system atrophy (MSA) or progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). It may help researchers understand disease changes and how they relate to symptoms, which could guide future treatments.
