RECRUITING Early Phase 1

Sustained Release Oral Formulation for Treatment of Parkinson's Disease

NCT05471609 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

Achieving sustained blood levels of carbidopa/levodopa has been a challenge in the treatment of PD and although levodopa remains the most commonly used drug, motor fluctuations remain a major disability especially in advanced Parkinson's disease. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of a novel oral carbidopa-levodopa formulation in achieving a sustained blood level of levodopa and carbidopa in normal volunteers.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05471609

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05471609 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Early Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 6 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Minnesota, which has 919 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Healthy Volunteers appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which levodopa/carbidopa oral formulation A is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05471609 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Minnesota. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
