Description:
The Neurodegeneration and Clinical Trial Groups of the National
Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) request
applications for additional clinical centers to collaborate in clinical
trials to test potential neuroprotective agents in Parkinsons disease
(PD). These studies, the neuroprotection exploratory trials in PD (NET-
PD) include pilot clinical trials and plans for a large, simple phase
III clinical trial. Previous solicitations were issued for the clinical
and statistical coordinating centers
(http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-NS-01-012.html)
and clinical centers
(http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-NS-02-010.html.
Pilot clinical trials are ongoing with over forty
participating sites. The agents under study currently include
creatine, minocycline, Coenzyme Q10, and a neuroimmunophilin ligand.
These pilot studies are expected to complete follow-up in the 3rd
quarter of 2005. Depending upon the results of these studies a phase
III trial with one of these agents may be conducted or additional pilot
studies of different agents may be performed. Sites are sought to join
NET-PD to participate in these future studies.
