RNA drug study for prion disease safety
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Infections, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests an RNA-based drug designed to turn off the gene that causes prion disease. It aims to see if the drug is safe in people with early-stage symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have symptoms of prion disease that affect your daily life.
- You have been diagnosed with probable prion disease using standard criteria.
- A lab test (either spinal fluid or genetic) confirmed prion disease.
- Your disease is not too advanced — you should be able to do daily activities with some help.
- You have a friend or family member who can come with you to visits.

This study looks for early signs of prion disease in people who are at risk, using blood tests, spinal fluid, and thinking tests. It hopes to find ways to diagnose and track the disease earlier.
This study is a registry for people who may be at risk for genetic prion disease because of their family history. It involves genetic testing and follow-up visits to track health over time.
This first-in-human study tests whether SRP-1005, a new drug, is safe and tolerable in people with early Huntington's disease. The drug is designed to reduce levels of a harmful protein in the brain that causes Huntington's symptoms.
This study tests an experimental drug called PLL001 for people with ALS. It aims to see if the drug is safe and if it can slow the progression of the disease. You may be a good fit if you have been recently diagnosed and are still in the early stages of ALS.
This study tests a new gene therapy (chemogenetics) to see if it is safe and how well it works for people with Parkinson's disease. The treatment involves a one-time infusion of a modified virus into the brain to help control movement symptoms.
This trial tests a new drug, PDR-001, to see if it can safely remove harmful proteins from the brain in people with early Parkinson's disease. It may help slow down the disease.
