Trial summary

Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder strongly linked to advancing age that results in decline in mobility and thinking. Based on prior research, the investigators think that small amounts of inflammation in the brain may contribute to the mobility and thinking problems in people with PD. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 50 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: A total of 50 participants with idiopathic PD and up to 30 healthy control participants are to be studied. Some of these participants will be recruited from existing research studies. Others will be recruited from the clinic, the community, and a registry of healthy volunteers.

Who may be able to join

  • Parkinson Disease (PD) participants must be at least 50 years old and meet clinical diagnostic criteria of idiopathic PD.
  • Control participants must be at least 50 years old and not have PD, no first-degree family member with PD, and no evidence of PD or dementia on examination.

Who cannot join

  • any history of other neurologic illness (e.g. stroke, seizure, multiple sclerosis)
  • history of brain surgery or major head trauma
  • major medical/systemic illness
  • severe psychiatric illness (e.g. bipolar disorder, schizophrenia)
  • major drug abuse
  • history of long term use of anti-dopaminergic medication

  • chronic treatment with immunomodulatory or anti-inflammatory medications
  • weight over 300 lbs

About this study

Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder strongly linked to advancing age that results in decline in mobility and thinking. Based on prior research, the investigators think that small amounts of inflammation in the brain may contribute to the mobility and thinking problems in people with PD. They are trying to measure inflammation in the brain in order to understand how this inflammation could be contributing to the symptoms of PD. This study involves a brain positron emission tomography (PET) scan with a new, investigational radioactive tracer called [11C]-CS1P1 to identify inflammation in the brain.The goal of this project is to quantify neuroinflammation with [11C]-CS1P1 PET and compare to motor and cognitive function in participants with various stages of severity of PD compared to controls.

What participants receive

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

  • [11C]-CS1P1Drug

    Participants will receive a single intravenous bolus injection of 10.0 - 20.0 milliCurie (mCi) of the investigational radiotracer [11C]-CS1P1. Participants will then undergo a [11C]-CS1P1 PET scan.

What is being measured

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

  1. PET imaging studies of [11C]-CS1P1 in healthy control participants and participants with Parkinson Disease.

    The investigators hypothesize that specific binding of [11C]-CS1P1 is elevated in participants with neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system compared to healthy control participants.

    Measured: At the time of PET scan

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 9 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 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 United States. 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?

PET imaging studies of [11C]-CS1P1 in healthy control participants and participants with Parkinson Disease. (time frame: At the time of PET scan). 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 2 Apr 2026.
