What to expect

No one can promise a trial will help you personally — that is what the research is trying to find out.

What participation involves

Not stated in the study description — ask the study team about visits and procedures.

Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

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.
