AGB101

Plain-Language Summary

The team is testing whether AGB101, a formulation of levetiracetam, can reduce hallucinations, delusions, and other psychosis symptoms that arise after Parkinson's onset without making motor symptoms worse. AGB101 binds the synaptic vesicle protein SV2A to calm abnormal neuronal hyperexcitability, and because it is not a dopamine blocker it is not expected to interfere with levodopa's benefits. They are enrolling people 40 to 85 years old with Parkinson's disease who have recurrent psychosis at least once a week, who have a study partner, can have repeated MRIs, are on stable PD meds for at least 4 weeks and off antipsychotics for 2 weeks; key exclusions include severe kidney impairment, prior levetiracetam intolerance, other major neurologic or psychotic disorders, or MRI-incompatible implants.
