About this study

Official title: Etude Des Facteurs prédictifs de l'Apparition et de l'évolution de la Maladie de Parkinson

Observational, prospective, monocentric study to assess clinical features, imaging and biologic biomarkers in Parkinson disease (PD) patients and rate of progression compared to healthy controls (HC) and subjects at risk to develop PD.

The primary objective of this study is to identify clinical, imaging and biologic markers of PD onset and progression for use in clinical trials of disease-modifying therapies.

Read the detailed description

ICEBERG will be a four-year natural history study of de novo idiopathic PD patients, healthy controls, and subjects at risk to develop PD (idiopathic Rem Behavior Disorder -iRBD, and probants of patients with PD genetically confirmed).

All subjects will be comprehensively assessed at baseline and every year thereafter. Subjects will undergo clinical (motor, neuropsychiatric, sleep, ocular and cognitive evaluations) and imaging assessments. Blood (including a DNA sample), stools, skin biopsy and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) samples will be collected.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Clinical, biological and imaging followupOther

    Assessment of motor and non motor signs every 12 months. Imaging and blood, cerebral fluid, stools and skin samples for identification of biomarkers of disease phenotype and progression.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rates of change of clinical, imaging and biomic outcomes

    Slopes of change of clinical, imaging and biomics compared between PD patients, subjects at risk to develop PD and healthy subjects.

    Identification of predictive factors of these rates of change. As examples, outcomes include: MDS-UPDRS, Mattis dementia rating scale, Non Motor Signs scale, DAT striatal uptake.

    Measured: 4 years (annual visits)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical milestones in PD patients

    Occurence of complications such as falls, freezing, dyskinesias, motor fluctuations, cognitive impairment, dysautonomia.

    Identification of predictive factors of these complications. Rates of progression in sub-groups of patients defined by the presence of these complications.

    Measured: 4 years (annual visits)

  2. Prodromal features in subjects at risk to develop PD

    Prodromal features such as anosmia, dysautonomia, color vision impairment, will be evaluated at inclusion and during followup in subjects with iRBD or first-degree relatives of genetically confirmed PD patients.

    Frequency of these features will be compared between subjects who phenoconvert and those who don't.

    Relation between baseline DatSCAN binding and risk of phenoconversion will be analysed.

    Measured: 4 years (annual visits)

  3. Phenoconversion in subjects at risk to develop PD

    Phenoconversion is defined as occurence of an extrapyramidal syndrome, confirmed 12 months later.

    Exploratory analysis to determine whether rates of progression clinical, imaging and biomic markers may predict phenoconversion in groups of patients with iRBD or probants of patients with PD genetically confirmed.

    Measured: 4 years (annual visits)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rates of change of clinical, imaging and biomic outcomes (time frame: 4 years (annual visits)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jul 2026.
