Summary For Families

The goal is to see if short, daily doses of very low‑dose oral carbon monoxide can be given safely and are tolerable in people with Parkinson's, while collecting early drug level data and looking at effects on inflammation and oxidative stress that may harm brain cells. HBI-002 is a liquid that delivers tiny amounts of carbon monoxide, a naturally occurring signaling gas that can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress and support cellular protective pathways, and it is taken for 14 days alongside participants' usual Parkinson's medications with careful monitoring for safety and any interactions with levodopa. The trial is looking for non-smoking adults aged 40 to 80 with a Parkinson's diagnosis within the past five years, Hoehn and Yahr stage 3 or lower, a good clinical response on stable levodopa (at least 100 mg three times daily or equivalent), who meet lab and weight limits and can have a study partner to observe them after dosing.

Who can participate?
Participants must be between 40 Years and 80 Years.
Where is this trial located?
This trial is recruiting at 1 location.
Does it cost anything to join?
No. There is no cost to participate. Study-related care and treatment are provided at no charge.
How long does the trial last?
This Phase 2 trial is estimated to last approximately 8 months.
Can I leave the trial if I change my mind?
Yes. You can withdraw from any clinical trial at any time, for any reason, without affecting your standard medical care. Trials are voluntary by law. The team may ask if you are willing to do a brief exit visit so they can collect safety information, but you are not obligated.
Can my spouse or care partner come with me to visits?
In most cases yes, and it is often encouraged. Care partners can help with notes, questions, and getting home safely after a long visit. Some study assessments do need to happen one on one, but care partners are usually welcome for the rest of the appointment.
Will I get a placebo in this trial?
This trial has 3 groups, and 1 is a placebo group. Because assignment is random, you have about a 1 in 3 chance (roughly 33%) of being in the placebo group, assuming the groups are filled equally. Ask the coordinator to confirm the exact assignment ratio.
