Selnoflast

In order to participate in this study, you must be able to speak and read Dutch fluently.

The goal of this study is to evaluate how safe and tolerable the investigational study drug selnoflast is for the treatment of participants with early stage Parkinson’s disease (with slowness of movement, and resting tremor or rigidity). The study compares the effect of selnoflast with the effect of a placebo (a drug without an active ingredient, a ‘fake drug’). The study drug is administered orally.

Some researchers could show that people with Parkinson’s disease may have more inflammation in the brain. This is thought to be one of the reasons why people get Parkinson’s disease and why it progresses over time. A key part of the inflammation in the brain is a protein called NLRP3. Selnoflast blocks NLRP3, and this blockage might lower the inflammation in the brain.

You will visit the research center approximately 11 times, during approximately 14 weeks. The duration of a visit is not always the same because not every visit has the same procedures. Some of these visits may last 10 hours, others 3.5 hours or shorter. The research takes place in Amsterdam or Zwolle. If you want, someone who knows you well or a family member can come with you during your visits

This research is commissioned by Roche.
