NCT ID NCT05318937

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a drug called SAGE-718 in 86 people with Parkinson's disease who have mild memory or thinking problems. Participants took either the drug or a placebo pill for a set time. The main goal was to see if SAGE-718 could improve processing speed, measured by a symbol-matching test. The trial is now complete, and results will show if the drug is safe and helps with cognitive symptoms.

SAGE-718

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a treatment for cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease, helping with memory and thinking speed.
