Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to determine whether a significant reduction in the total level of alpha-synuclein and significant increase in the oligomeric form of alpha-synuclein and therefore the ratio oligomeric:total alpha-synuclein occurs in patients with Parkinson disease compared to patients with drug-induced parkinsonian syndrome.
