Recruiting now · Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Parkinson's Disease (PD), Mild to Moderate Parkinson's Disease, Early Stage Parkinson's Disease

In brief

The goal of this trial is to learn if MTX325 can be developed as a potential disease-modifying treatment for Parkinson's Disease. Parts 1-4 complete, Part 5 (multiple doses in patients with Parkinson's Disease) in progress.

You may not qualify if…

A clinically significant history of gastrointestinal disorder likely to influence IMP absorption.
Participant has any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, is clinically significant and may put the participant at greater safety risk, influence response to study product, or interfere with study assessment.
Inability to communicate well with the Investigators.
Participation (dosed) in a NCE clinical study within the previous 3 months or five half lives
Donation of 450 mL or more blood within the 3 months before the first dose of IMP.
Female participants who are pregnant, breastfeeding or lactating.
