Clinical Trial Summary

Gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying) is a common feature of Parkinson's Disease. Levodopa (Sinemet), a common medication for Parkinson's Disease, can make gastroparesis worse. Gastroparesis effects how the levodopa is absorbed and used by the body. This study will explore the possibility of using Erythromycin, a drug commonly used (off label) for gastroparesis, along with levodopa to determine if there is improved levodopa absorption and motor function.


Clinical Trial Description

Participants will be required to make four visits for evaluation. Visit 1 is a screening visit, participants will receive the study drug or a placebo during visits 2 and 3, and visit 4 is a follow up visit. Participants will provide blood and urine samples during the visits. Participants will also be required to complete questionnaires and a series of motor tests. ;
