How Parkinson's medication moves through the body
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial looks at how the body processes Parkinson's medication, especially in people who have had a stomach biopsy. It may help doctors understand why some people respond differently to treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease
- You have had a stomach biopsy during an endoscopy (a tube with a camera to look at your stomach)
- You are currently taking medication for Parkinson's symptoms

This study tests a new form of Parkinson's medication given through a pump to see how well it works in everyday life for people in the early stages of advanced Parkinson's. It may help control symptoms and improve daily function.
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease who still have movement symptoms despite taking medication. It aims to understand how the disease changes over time, which could help improve future treatments.
This trial tests an experimental drug called RO7568282 to see if it is safe and can help with early Parkinson's disease symptoms. It is for people who have been taking a stable dose of levodopa alone for at least two months.
This study looks at how digestive (gut) problems happen in people with Parkinson’s and whether there are related changes in the nerve tissue in the digestive tract. It may help researchers better understand the cause of these symptoms and find new ways to monitor or treat them.
This trial uses a small piece of colon tissue, taken during a routine colonoscopy, to look for a protein linked to Parkinson's disease and REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). It aims to improve diagnosis for these conditions.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) might affect how well levodopa works for Parkinson's disease. You will swallow a small capsule that collects samples as it travels through your intestine, which helps researchers understand your gut health.
