Summary For Families

The trial is testing whether a new medication, IRL757, is safe and well tolerated in people with Parkinson's who have apathy, and it will also look for any effects on Parkinson's symptoms compared with a placebo. Participants take the medicine or a matching placebo by mouth for 12 weeks, visit the clinic at five set times for checks and tests, and get a follow-up phone call four weeks after the last dose. They are looking for people aged 50 to 90 with a confirmed Parkinson's diagnosis at stage 4 or earlier, who score at least 20 on a basic thinking test, meet the study’s criteria for moderate to severe apathy, can bring a primary caregiver, and have had stable Parkinson's or antidepressant medications for at least one month.

Can I leave the trial if I change my mind?

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.
