At SIU Medicine, our researchers perform clinical trials and research studies with the aim of translating findings into new, more effective treatments.
PROSPECT: This is an observational study and is designed to describe the clinical outcomes and the burden of disease in PD patients with motor fluctuations not adequately controlled by current PD medications.
The objective of the Corrona Psoriasis Registry is to create a national database of patients with psoriasis. Data collected will be used to study the disease and to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of medications approved for the treatment of psoriasis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of the investigational drug, dipraglurant (ADX48621), in subjects with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID).
The RECOVER study is a nationwide clinical trial that has been approved by Medicare to provide additional evidence for the benefits of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Therapy. Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy is an FDA-approved device for treating patients with TRD (Treatment Resistant Depression). It is implanted in the left chest area during a short outpatient procedure. The device delivers mild, intermittently pulsed signals to the vagus nerve in the neck that activate various parts of the brain.
PADOVA: The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, prasinezumab versus placebo has on Parkinson’s disease in people who are taking standard medication to manage the disease symptoms.
