Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether data acquired from a remote monitoring approach can reliably identify and track motor symptoms in prodromal PD and clinical PD.

The study is a one-year longitudinal biomarker study recruiting idiopathic RBD patients, Parkinson's Disease patient and healthy controls. All participants receive a smartphone with the Roche PD Mobile Application, complete a number of active tests daily and their movements will be remotely monitored. Participants will undergo additional neurological exams and DaT-SPECT and MRI imaging in the study.

A second objective of this study will be to validate an immunohistochemistry skin biopsy assay for the detection of pathological alpha-synuclein diagnostic of PD, in the peripheral nerves of the skin.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Healthy Control

Above 40 years of age, sex matched with PD cohort. Participants may consent to additional skin biopsy at baseline and at the one-year follow-up. Skin will be taken paravertebrally at approximately the C8 level.

Observational

Intervention Type OTHER

Observational

Skin Biopsy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Participants may consent to additional skin biopsy at baseline and at the one-year follow-up. Skin will be taken paravertebrally at approximately the C8 level.

RBD Patients

Polysomnographic confirmed RBD, age 50 years or older, male and female. RBD patients only will receive DaT-SPECT and MRI imaging at baseline and Week52 of the study. Participants may consent to additional skin biopsy at baseline and at the one-year follow-up. Skin will be taken paravertebrally at approximately the C8 level.
