Why Other Patients Applied
"It seems my Parkinson’s is progressing more rapidly now. And my meds are lagging behind. My off time is more frequent and the episodes are longer. Trying to figure out what my options are."
"My dad was in a research group for Parkinson's for about 6 years, which was very interesting. I was just diagnosed 1.5 years ago, and started on low dose Sinemet. Doing well on Sinemet, but I'd like to get ahead of the condition. I'm excited about participating in research. "
"I have 5 kids. I'll do anything I can to slow this disease down in hopes that I can stay active with them into their adulthood. I also feel I am serving the greater good for all those who suffer from Parkinson's. Since I'm self employed, my schedule is flexible. "
"I wasn’t diagnosed until February, but I showed symptoms over ten years before. I want to help find a cure. I have lost family members to Parkinson’s and want to contribute to the search for better treatments before my children possibly come down with it."
"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Parkinson's Disease clinical trials in Maine pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Parkinson's Disease clinical trials in Maine work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Parkinson's Disease trials in Maine 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Maine for Parkinson's Disease is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Maine several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Parkinson's Disease medical study in Maine?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Parkinson's Disease clinical trials in Maine?
Most recently, we added High-Intensity Treadmill Exercise for Parkinson's Disease and Tavapadon for Parkinson's Disease to the Power online platform.
