# Facilitate research to slow progression

**Goal (in five words):** Facilitate research to slow progression

**Official Title:** University of Delaware Participant Recruitment Registry for Parkinson's Disease Research

**Trial ID:** [NCT04496973](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04496973)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** RECRUITING
- **Study Type:** OBSERVATIONAL
- **Sponsor:** University of Delaware
- **Target Enrollment:** 1000 participants
- **Start Date:** 2020-05-28
- **Completion Date:** 2030-01-01
- **Conditions:** Parkinson Disease

## Summary For Families

The goal is to create a volunteer registry of people with Parkinson's so University of Delaware researchers can quickly find and invite the right participants for future PD studies. Instead of testing a treatment, the registry collects basic health, diagnosis, and contact information and your interest in research, so investigators can match you to appropriate investigator-led studies; it aims to enroll up to 1,000 volunteers. No drugs or devices are given by joining, you are simply agreeing to be contacted about studies you might qualify for. The registry is for adults 21 and older with a clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's who want to be contacted, and it excludes people with non-primary parkinsonism, atypical parkinsonian syndromes, or a clinical diagnosis of dementia.

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 21 Years
- **Maximum age:** 100 Years
- **Sex:** ALL
