New pill aims to cut Parkinson's 'OFF' episodes

NCT ID NCT06055985

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tested an experimental drug called UCB0022 in 207 people with advanced Parkinson's disease. The goal was to see if adding UCB0022 to standard treatment could reduce the daily hours spent in the 'OFF' state, when Parkinson's symptoms return. Participants took either UCB0022 or a placebo tablet for 70 days and recorded their symptoms in a diary.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

UCB0022 (a drug taken as a tablet)

What this could lead to

If successful, UCB0022 could become a new add-on treatment to help people with advanced Parkinson's spend less time in the 'OFF' state, when symptoms return between medication doses.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 2 trial, so it is still early. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are possible. Results may not apply to all Parkinson's patients.
