About this study
In plain language
This study tests how well NEU-411 works and how safe it is for people ages 40–80 with early Parkinson’s disease. It is for people whose DNA test predicts higher activity in LRRK2, a pathway in the body.
The goal of this Phase 2 clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of NEU-411 in men and women aged 40-80 years with early Parkinson's Disease (PD) who have predicted elevations in the activity of the "leucine-rich repeat kinase 2" ("LRRK2" for short) pathway based on their genetic profile. A DNA test will be used to identify the "LRRK2-driven" population with predicted elevation in the LRRK2 pathway.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- You are 40–80 years old at screening.
- You have a confirmed or likely diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.
- The study’s genetic test predicts that your Parkinson’s is linked to higher LRRK2 pathway activity.
- Your Parkinson’s stage is 1 to 2.5 on the modified Hoehn and Yahr scale, which measures how advanced the disease is.
Who can't join
- You have another condition that causes Parkinson’s-like symptoms, rather than typical Parkinson’s disease.
- You have uncontrolled diabetes with an HbA1c above 8%. This blood test measures your average blood sugar.
- You have another major health condition found during screening.
Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
