  ## 💡 Quick Summary 

 - Participating in research helps discover new [treatments](/living-with-parkinsons/treatment "Treatment") and improves life for the 10 million people living with Parkinson’s.

- Join opportunities like the [PD GENEration](/advancing-research/our-research/pdgeneration "PD GENEration: Powered by the Parkinson’s Foundation") genetic study and surveys to advance real-world understanding of Parkinson’s.

- Explore current clinical trials that test new therapies.

 

 The only way we will find a cure for Parkinson’s disease (PD) is through research. Your participation in research is critical to finding new treatments and improving life for the 10 million people living with Parkinson’s around the world.

Explore the different opportunities to get involved with Parkinson’s research.

 ###  Become a Research Advocate 

Help us make Parkinson’s research more efficient and effective. Our trained research advocates partner alongside scientists, industry and government on critical PD research studies.

  ##  Parkinson’s Foundation Studies 

  ###  PD GENEration: Powered by the Parkinson’s Foundation 

 This Parkinson's Foundation initiative provides genetic testing for clinically relevant Parkinson's-related genes and genetic counseling at no cost for people with Parkinson’s. Participation can be either in-person or from home.

  ###  Parkinson’s Foundation Surveys 

 Through this initiative, we aim to advance Parkinson’s care through understanding the experiences of people living with this disease, care partners and healthcare workers —and widely sharing those experiences with the PD community.

 ## Parkinson’s Foundation Industry Consortium Member Studies 

Consortium members are companies engaged with the Foundation in support of our mission to end PD. Trials listed here are not endorsed by the Parkinson’s Foundation. [Read more about corporate sponsorship and our consortium here.](/how-to-help/corporate-sponsors "Become a Corporate Sponsor")

  ###  NEULARK Trial 

 The NEULARK Trial, sponsored by Neuron23, is testing a once-daily oral investigational drug called NEU-411 in people between the ages of 40 to 80 who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and who have not yet received dopamine medications. This innovative trial will test whether NEU-411 can slow disease progression in a newly defined population of patients with Parkinson’s disease who match a specific genetic profile based on a blood test.

  ###  PROPEL Trial 

 The PROPEL Study, sponsored by Prevail Therapeutics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly, is testing a one-time gene therapy investigational drug called PR001 in people between 35 and 80 who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and carry a mutation in their GBA1 gene. Mutations in GBA1 increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease and are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson’s disease. PR001, which provides a healthy copy of GBA1 gene by one-time delivery, is being developed as a potentially disease-modifying treatment for PD-GBA.

  ###  Sunrise-PD Trial 

 The Sunrise-PD clinical study, sponsored by the pharmaceutical company BioVie Inc, is testing the oral investigational treatment bezisterim to determine whether bezisterim can improve motor symptoms of Parkinson’s in individuals 45 to 80 years old who are ready to begin but have not started treatment yet. Bezisterim is believed to act by reducing inflammation in the brain that may contribute to symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
