In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Parkinson's disease (PD) presents a complex challenge due to its progressive neurodegenerative nature, affecting various bodily systems. Despite decades of research, understanding its onset and progression remains unclear, complicating early diagnosis and treatment. Recent advances in PD pathophysiology suggest promising treatments to slow disease progression, yet reversing cellular degeneration remains elusive. With novel therapies emerging, the need for early detection tools is urgent. However, validated biomarkers for PD diagnosis are lacking, relying on subjective scales like Hoehn and Yahr or costly medical imaging techniques. The accumulation of misfolded α-Synuclein (α-Syn) proteins in PD pathology has sparked interest, but defining diagnostic roles requires further investigation. Recent findings of α-Syn in neuronal-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs) from PD patients suggest

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: * • For PD subjects * PD diagnosis according to MDS-UPDRS criteria and Hoehn and Yahr scale between I-IV (MED ON) for PD subjects * Willing to participate. Participation is always voluntary. * Willing and able to provide written informed consent to participate in the study or having a legal representative responsible for signing; the participant (or the legal representative) must understand the purpose, methods, and all information regarding the study. * For non-PD subjects * Normal neurological examination findings. * Medical record (recent and remote medical history) available and reviewable by clinicians during the entire study period. * Willing and able to provide written informed consent to participate in the study Exclusion Criteria: * • For PD and non-PD subjects * Clinically significant and severe cognitive decline and/or intellectual disability which can lead to impairment not caused by Parkinson's disease or any other disease that could better explain the patient's symptoms; The exclusion criteria involve neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders including disorders of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve, and muscle (e.g. cerebral palsy, epilepsy \[seizure disorders\], stroke, intellectual disability, moderate to severe developmental delay, muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord injury). * Fever (Temperature 38.0 °C (tympanic)). * Acute infection (such as Flu, COVID-19) which could debilitate the patient and affect the data. * Individuals with concurrent infections requiring systemic antimicrobial and/or antiviral therapy at the pre-dose examinations (e.g. HepC, HIV, TB). * Life-threatening co-existing disease with life expectancy, which could lead to premature dropout. * Any other neurological or systemic conditions that could confound results.
