NCT ID NCT07175922

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is looking at a gene called csgA found in gut bacteria of people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers want to see how common this gene is and how it changes over time. The goal is to learn more about the link between gut health and Parkinson's, which could help develop future treatments. The study will involve 200 participants with Parkinson's who have or had gut issues.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could point toward new therapies that target the gut to treat Parkinson's disease.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures a gene in stool samples, so it won't directly test any therapy. Results may not lead to a treatment.
