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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests whether a supplement called tributyrin can improve memory, thinking, and walking in people with Parkinson's disease who also have cognitive problems. 45 participants will take either tributyrin or a placebo three times daily for about 90 days. Researchers will measure changes through cognitive tests, movement assessments, and brain scans.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
tributyrin (a dietary supplement)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary supplement to help with memory, thinking, and movement problems in Parkinson's disease.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 45 people, so results may not apply widely. The supplement may not improve symptoms and could cause side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or Female, age 45 years and over. * Diagnosis of PD based on the United Kingdom Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank Diagnostic Research Criteria (Hughes et al., 1992) AND evidence of mild cognitive impairment (Litvan et al., 2012) OR Diagnosis of PDD (Emre et al., 2007). * If taking cholinesterase inhibitors, benzodiazepines, memantine, or anti-psychotic medications, on a stable regimen as defined by no medication changes for these drugs in prior 4 weeks. Exclusion Criteria: * Evidence of atypical parkinsonism. * Contra-indications to MR imaging including but not limited to pacemakers, aneurysm clips, intraocular metal, cochlear implant, or severe claustrophobia. * Evidence of large vessel stroke or mass lesion on MRI. * Regular use of typical anti-cholinergic drugs. * Recent history of significant, uncontrolled GI disease such as GERD, colorectal cancer. * Significant metabolic or uncontrolled medical comorbidity. * Pregnant or nursing. * Suicidal ideation, as indicated by a response of 2 or 3 on question 9 of the Beck Depression Inventory. * Any other condition or criterion that would preclude safe and meaningful participation in the study.
