  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

The Parkinson's Genetic Research Study (PaGeR) is exploring genes that might increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD). This study is led by Dr. Cyrus Zabetian and involves experts across the United States, supported by the National Institutes of Health. The main center is at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Participants in the study will complete some activities like filling out a questionnaire, having an interview, a memory test, a neurological exam, and giving a blood sample. It takes about one to two hours, is free, and personal information is kept private. The study focuses on families with two or more members diagnosed with PD, as these families might help discover new PD genes.

  • Participants must be 18 or older and from a family with at least two members diagnosed with PD.
  • The study is free, and arrangements can be made for those unable to travel.
  • All participants' information is kept confidential.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
