Clinical Trials
NET-PD LS-1 Parkinson's Disease (PD) Study
Neuroprotective Exploratory Trials in Parkinson's Disease, Large Study 1
Principle Investigator: Ted Dawson, M.D.

Are you currently being treated for PD?
Would you be willing to participate in a study of an investigational drug?
If you have answered YES to each of these questions, or know someone who may be interested in participating in this research study, please call Becky Dunlop, RN at 410.955.8795 or email rdunlop@jhmi.edu for more information about this National Institutes of Health study.
Parkinson’s Disease Clinical Trial
Brain Donation Registry
Principle Investigator: Laura Marsh, M.D.
Parkinson's Disease Research Center Principal Investigator/Director: Ted Dawson, M.D., Ph.D.
Protocol Number: 98-05-08-06
Individuals with Parkinson’s disease or related movement disorders (such as Lewy Body Disease) are being recruited to participate in a brain donation program funded by the NIH through the Morris K. Udall Parkinson's Disease Research Center of Excellence at Johns Hopkins. Individuals with no history of a brain disorder may also participate as a control.
Registration in the brain donation program enables the individual to donate their brain, at the time of their death, for scientific research on the underlying mechanisms of Parkinson's disease. The program, including the actual brain donation program, is free for participants. Families also receive a diagnostic report.
To learn more, please call Melissa Gerstenhaber, R.N.C., M.S.N. at 410.614.1242
Depression in PD Clinical Research Trial
Site Prinipal Investigator: Laura Marsh, M.D.
Protocol #20040690
Investigators are seeking volunteers with Parkinson's disease, over 30 years old, for participation in a study funded by NIH/NINDS. If you feel sad, withdrawn, have appetite and/or sleep changes, concentration or lack motivation you may qualify for this study. The study offers evaluation and study medication.
If interested, call Melissa Gerstenhaber, R.N.C., M.S.N. at 410.614.1242.
Early Onset PD - Consortium On Risk for Early-onset (CORE) PD Study
Principal Investigator: Laura Marsh, M.D.
Protocol # NA_00002271
Do you have Parkinson’s disease (PD)? Did you experience onset of motor signs at or before age 50? Did you receive your diagnosis of PD from a neurologist? If you answered yes to all three questions, you may be eligible to participate in a research study to investigate genetic and environmental risk factors that increase susceptibility to the development of PD. Participation in this research study involves a blood draw, questionnaires collecting information on family and medical history, and a neurological exam. If you think you are eligible and are interested in learning more information about the study please contact Melissa Gerstenhaber, R.N.C., M.S.N. at 410.614.1242.
DNA Repository for PD
Principal Investigator: Laura Marsh, M.D.
Protocol # NA_00001079
Blood samples are need from participants with Parkinson’s Disease. The DNA samples will be collected, stored, and distributed to investigators. You must be 18 years of age or older. Please call study coordinator Melissa Gerstenhaber R.N.C, M.S.N. at 410.614.1242.
