What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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

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)

Summary

This study looks at whether a protein linked to Parkinson's disease can be found in colon tissue samples taken during a routine colonoscopy. Researchers will compare samples from people with Parkinson's, those with REM sleep behavior disorder, and healthy individuals. The goal is to see if this method could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment.

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 could lead to a simple, early test for Parkinson's disease using tissue from a routine colonoscopy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study with only 40 participants. It may not prove the test works reliably for everyone.
