ABBV-951 Infusion for Parkinson's Disease
Austin, Texas
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological condition, which affects the brain. PD gets worse over time, but how quickly it progresses varies a lot from person to person. Some symptoms of PD are tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. This study will assess how safe and effective ABBV-951 is in adult participants with PD. Adverse events and change in disease activity is evaluated.
ABBV-951 is an investigational (unapproved) drug containing Levodopa Phosphate/Carbidopa Phosphate (LDP/CDP) given as an infusion under the skin for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. Adult participants with advanced PD and who have completed M15-736 or M20-339 study will be enrolled. Approximately 130 participants will be enrolled in the study in approximately 60 sites in the United States and Australia.
Participants will receive continuous subcutaneous infusion (CSCI) (under the skin) of ABBV-951 for 96 weeks during the Primary Treatment Period and during the optional Extended Treatment Period.
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical and remote telephone assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects, and completing questionnaires.

Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) sometimes experience symptoms affecting their movement, such as slowness, tremor, stiffness, and balance or walking problems. Many patients also have other symptoms not related to movement, called non-motor symptoms, which may affect one's mood or emotions, memory or thinking, or cause one to see or hear things that aren't real (hallucinations) or believe things that aren't true (delusions). Hallucinations or delusions, together called psychosis, occur in up to 60% of PD patients at some point in time. Parkinson's disease psychosis can sometimes be associated with decreased quality of life, increased nursing home placement, increased rate of death, and greater caregiver burden. There are approximately 50,000 Veterans with Parkinson's disease receiving care in the VA, and up to 30,000 (60%) of them will experience psychosis at some point in time.
Quetiapine is an antipsychotic drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that is the most commonly used medication to treat PD psychosis, but more studies are needed to determine if it works for this condition and is also well tolerated and safe. Pimavanserin is a newer antipsychotic drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically to treat PD psychosis, but more studies are needed to determine if it works and its safety.
The purpose of this research is to gather additional information on the safety and effectiveness of both Quetiapine and Pimavanserin. By doing this study, the investigators hope to learn which of these medications is the most effective course of treatment for people with PD psychosis.

Deep Brain Stimulation for Apathy in Parkinson's Disease
Houston, Texas
Apathy is a disabling neuropsychiatric symptom marked by reduced goal-directed behavior, including diminished interest, motivation, emotional expression, and social engagement. Though not formally defined in the DSM-V, apathy is common in several neurological and psychiatric disorders and significantly affects quality of life. In Parkinson's Disease (PD), it affects about 40% of patients and is associated with increased caregiver burden, reduced functional ability, and nearly threefold higher mortality.
PD affects over 680,000 Americans today and is projected to impact more than 1.2 million by 2030. It presents with both motor symptoms (e.g., bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity) and non-motor symptoms like depression, anxiety, and apathy. While motor symptoms are often managed with dopaminergic medications and deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting motor regions (e.g., subthalamic nucleus, globus pallidus internal), apathy typically persists or worsens following these treatments. No FDA-approved or consistently effective treatments exist for apathy in PD. Dopamine agonists may help but have side effects that limit long-term use. SSRIs and cholinesterase inhibitors may be tried for co-occurring depression or cognitive decline, but they are not indicated for apathy and can worsen symptoms or cause adverse effects in PD.
This protocol proposes targeting apathy in PD using DBS of the ventral capsule/ventral striatum (VC/VS), a region involved in reward processing and goal-directed behavior. VC/VS DBS is FDA-approved under a Humanitarian Device Exemption for OCD and has shown promise in treating depression, addiction, and other disorders involving motivational deficits. Neuroimaging and preclinical models strongly implicate this region in the regulation of goal-directed behavior, reward sensitivity, and cognitive control-mechanisms disrupted in apathy. Stimulating VC/VS may improve motivation through fibers connected to orbitofrontal and anterior cingulate cortices (reward sensitivity) and dorsal prefrontal regions (cognitive control).
Support for this approach comes from a case report where a patient with PD and OCD received both STN and VC/VS DBS. In addition to motor and OCD symptom improvement, the patient showed a significant reduction in apathy. Apathy worsened when stimulation ceased and improved again when resumed, suggesting a causal relationship. VC/VS DBS was safe, did not impair motor symptoms, and appeared to enhance motivation.
This study aims to test the safety and efficacy of VC/VS DBS for apathy in PD. Building on extensive animal, imaging, and clinical data, it addresses a major unmet need using an existing DBS platform. The approach is supported by established neurocircuitry, prior clinical experience with VC/VS targeting, and early evidence suggesting potential benefit. It does not duplicate prior studies but extends DBS to a new, underserved indication within PD.

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease
Houston, Texas
Parkinson Disease (PD) patients experience a variety of motor issues such as walking difficulties, loss of balance, and freezing while walking, which impacts their quality of life. Some symptoms, like freezing of gait (FOG), do not respond to medications typically used to treat PD. Current surgical procedures used to alleviate PD symptoms also do not always improve FOG. Since many traditional therapies have failed for the treatment of FOG, researchers have proposed the use of newer treatments. Recent research in animal models and clinical human data using SCS has produced promising results, specifically showing improvement in FOG with the use of SCS in patients with PD.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for the management of freezing of gait (FOG) that does not respond to conventional treatments in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD). The investigators hypothesize that SCS significantly decreases FOG episodes in patients with PD.
1. Assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary evidence of effectiveness of upper thoracic spinal cord stimulation for freezing of gait in Parkinson's (PD) patients.
2. Explore the effects of two SCS programming paradigms on motor, nonmotor and quality of life measures in PD patients with freezing of gait.

Subcortical Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease
Dallas, Texas
Humans can rapidly regulate actions according to evolving environmental demands, however, impairments of action regulation have been identified across a number of neurological disorders including Parkinson's Disease (PD). A key component of action regulation is action inhibition that occurs when stopping unwanted or inappropriate actions. There is mounting evidence that action inhibition also plays a critical part in selecting between competing alternative actions and switching to new actions in response to environmental changes. The investigators hypothesize that stop circuitry (involving frontal-subthalamic nucleus (STN) pathways) are involved in inhibiting unselected actions during action selection with competing alternatives (in the absence of overt stopping) and that switching motor plans also engages stopping circuitry (involving prefrontal-STN pathways) for cancelling the ongoing action, before changing to new one. The overall goal is to delineate the neural circuitry underlying a broad array of action regulation functions that involve inhibitory control, how these functions interrelate, and how they are implemented within brain networks. In this research, the investigator will take advantage of the unique opportunity provided by awake deep brain stimulation surgery to learn more about how the brain functions in a diseased state and how deep brain stimulation changes these networks to make movement more normal. The investigator will simultaneously assess cortical and subcortical electrophysiology in relation to clinical symptoms and behavioral measures and in response to deep brain stimulation in patients undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) implantation surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Parkinson's Disease clinical trials in Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas 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 Texas?
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 Texas?
Most recently, we added Deep Brain Stimulation for Apathy in Parkinson's Disease, NE3107 for Parkinson's Disease and TB006 for Parkinson's Disease to the Power online platform.
