Phase

Interventions
dapansutrile, placebo

Plain-Language Summary

The goal is to slow or modify early Parkinson's by reducing harmful brain inflammation that may drive nerve cell damage and symptom progression. The approach gives oral dapansutrile (OLT1177) versus placebo; dapansutrile blocks the NLRP3 inflammasome to lower inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β and IL-18, aiming to dampen microglial-driven inflammation, and it is tested alongside usual care so people can be drug-naive or remain on a stable dopaminergic regimen. They are looking for people aged 50 to 80 with clinically established early PD under 5 years and Hoehn and Yahr stage ≤2, who have hsCRP >1 mg/L, and who meet safety requirements such as no recent immunosuppressive therapy, no active infections or autoimmune disease, and PET-MRI compatibility.
