Reduce toxic brain protein clumps

Trial ID
NCT06565195
Official Title
A Randomized, Double-blind (Sponsor-unblinded), Placebo-controlled, Single-ascending-dose Study in Healthy Volunteers and a Double-blind (Sponsor-unblinded), Placebo-controlled, Multiple-ascending-dose Study in Patients With Parkinson's Disease to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and PK/PD of LY3962681
Goal
Reduce toxic brain protein clumps
Phase
PHASE1
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
Prevail Therapeutics
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Enrollment
108 participants
Conditions
Parkinson's Disease
Interventions
LY3962681, Placebo (aCSF)

Plain-Language Summary

The goal is to test whether LY3962681 can be safely given into the cerebrospinal fluid and alter alpha-synuclein-related biology that is thought to drive Parkinson's progression, by studying safety, tolerability, and how the drug moves and acts in the body. LY3962681 is an experimental agent delivered by lumbar puncture into the CSF, intended to engage and reduce toxic alpha-synuclein seeds in the brain, and it is being compared to placebo while allowing participants to stay on stable Parkinson medications, including levodopa. The trial enrolls healthy adults for single ascending doses and people with early-stage Parkinson's aged 30 to 80, with Hoehn and Yahr stage 1 to 2.5 OFF, a positive CSF alpha-synuclein assay and supportive tests like DaT-SPECT or smell loss, plus a MoCA of 24 or higher. People with other major neurological diseases, unstable medical conditions, or bleeding risks that would make lumbar puncture unsafe are excluded.
