Study Summary

This is a Phase I clinical trial of the FDA approved drug Glycerol Phenylbutyrate to see if phenylbutyrate can increase the removal of alpha-synuclein from the brain into the bloodstream. Alpha-synuclein forms abnormal protein deposits in dopamine neurons and is believed to cause the death of brain cells, leading to Parkinson's Disease.
