PD Clinical Trials

Clinical trials offer people with Parkinson’s the opportunity to access new treatments, contribute to research, and help advance scientific understanding of the disease. By participating in clinical studies, individuals play a vital role in improving future care and developing therapies that may slow progression or improve quality of life. PD GENEration is a global research study that provides genetic testing and genetic counseling at no cost for people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD). People can participate by enrolling online and completing an at-home blood collection kit or in-person at one of the participating PD GENEration clinical sites. Unlike traditional research studies, participants not only contribute to scientific advancement but also participants can discover new knowledge about their genetic makeup, understand their family’s risks and help benefit generations to come.
