Could a synthetic peptide offer a new way to tackle Parkinson's?
NCT ID NCT06466525
First seen Aug 21, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial evaluates the safety and tolerability of an investigational drug called LBT-3627, a synthetic peptide, in healthy adults and in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo, and researchers monitor side effects and how the drug moves through the body. The goal is to determine if LBT-3627 is safe enough to study further as a potential treatment for Parkinson's.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LBT-3627, a synthetic peptide
- What this could lead to
- If safe and well-tolerated, LBT-3627 could become a new treatment option to help manage Parkinson's disease symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial focused on safety, not effectiveness. The drug may not work as hoped or could cause side effects.

Both cohorts (Healthy Volunteers and Parkinson's Disease) Key inclusion criteria * Male or female, 30-89 years inclusive at screening * BMI 18-32 kg/m² * Vital signs, ECG (QTcF \<450 ms male / \<470 ms female), and safety labs without clinically significant abnormality; no orthostatic hypotension * Women of non-childbearing potential, or using highly effective contraception per protocol Key exclusion criteria * Immunomodulators / steroids - HV: any (incl. OTC) within 90 days; PD: systemic within 60 days and topical/nasal-inhaled OTC within 7 days (both waivable only with Sponsor approval) * Vaccine within 60 days (HV) / 45 days (PD) of first dose * CoQ10 within 5 days * Inadequate renal function (CrCl ≤ 60 mL/min; ≤ 79 if HV under 40), or LFTs / bilirubin \> 1.5× ULN * Clinically significant cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, neurological, or psychiatric disease * Active infection requiring systemic anti-infectives within 14 days; positive HBV/HCV/HIV serology Parkinson's Disease participants - additional key inclusion criteria * PD diagnosis by a neurologist/geriatrician, 6 months to \< 11 years before first dose, per MDS clinical diagnostic criteria * Hoehn \& Yahr stage 1-3 * If on levodopa: stable ≥ 2 months and able to withhold ≥ 12 hours (overnight) around dosing/assessments; if not, remain treatment-naïve through end of study Parkinson's Disease participants - additional key exclusion criteria * Prior PD brain surgery, focused ultrasound, or neuromodulation; no anti-amyloid/anti-tau biologics * Antibiotics within 30 days; OTC pre/probiotics; ≥ 3 unexplained falls in 12 months Note: Additional protocol-defined criteria apply.
