Enzyme test could open door to new dementia therapy

NCT ID NCT05304195

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study measured the activity of an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase in 236 people with and without Lewy body dementia. The goal was to see if lower enzyme activity could help identify patients who might benefit from treatments already used for Gaucher disease. The study did not test any treatment, but its results could guide future therapeutic trials.

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 this study shows that glucocerebrosidase activity is lower in people with Lewy body dementia, it could point toward using existing Gaucher disease treatments for this condition.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study that only measures enzyme activity—it does not test any treatment. The results may not lead to a therapy, and any future trials would still need to prove safety and effectiveness.
