LUMA Trial Summary

This trial will help researchers learn more about a study drug called BIIB122 in participants with early-stage Parkinson's disease (PD). The drug is taken 1 time a day for up to a minimum of 48 weeks and a maximum of 144 weeks. The goal is to see if the drug slows the worsening of symptoms more than a placebo.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 30-80 with early-stage Parkinson's disease, diagnosed within the last two years. Participants should have mild symptoms (stages 1 to 2 on a specific scale) and score ≤40 on a PD symptom questionnaire. They can't join if they have other significant neurological issues, atypical parkinsonism, drug-induced parkinsonism, or cognitive impairment as indicated by a MoCA score <24.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests BIIB122 tablets against placebo to see if it slows down symptom worsening in early Parkinson's over a period of up to three years. Patients will take either the drug or placebo daily and attend clinic visits every three months. The effectiveness will be measured using the MDS-UPDRS questionnaire assessing PD symptoms' impact on daily life.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of BIIB122 are not listed here, clinical trials typically monitor for any adverse reactions ranging from mild (like headaches or nausea) to severe (such as allergic reactions). Safety information will be gathered throughout the study.

Why did patients apply to this trial?

I’m slowly getting worse and current medications suck. Had a DATscan and my neurologist said I had the beginning stages of Parkinson’s. He prescribed Carbidopa Levidopa and found it made me sick. He discontinued my usage over four months ago and now do not talke any medication.
