Parkinson Disease Clinical Trial
— PD-DietOfficial title:
Canadian Parkinson's Microbiome Initiative: A Pilot Phase 2 Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial of the MIND Diet in Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and effects of an 18-month intervention diet compared to an active control diet (standard diet) in those living with Parkinson's Disease (PD), without dementia. Research has shown that eating components of Mediterranean diets are associated with a 30% lower risk to develop PD and a 40% lower mortality rate in those living with PD. Diet may influence the gut and microbiomes, thus may affect PD risk and progression. This study will examine how easy it will be to adhere to a certain type of diet for 18 months and what changes may occur in the gut microbiome and in PD symptoms on a specific diet during that time. The study will involve in-person study visits at UBC as well as online diet coaching sessions and online group cooking classes over Zoom. This is a randomized study, meaning that participants will be assigned by chance to either the Mediterranean-style diet group or the standard diet group for the duration of the 18 months. This pilot study will also examine recruitment rates and retention, in order to prepare for a larger future study.

Primary | Study retention | The rate of study retention and recruitment, by calculating study completion rates and mean recruitments per month. The recruitment goal is 54, with an estimated drop-out rate of 25%, with the expectation of 40 completing the 18-month intervention. | 18 months | |
Secondary | Dietary adherence | Adherence rate will be determined by the target score of 78% on the food diary for the intervention group, and target score of 57% by the standard group. | 18 months | |
Secondary | Optimization | Qualitative outcomes by measuring participant input and feedback on trial design and execution as well as blinding procedures and developing standard operating procedures for clinical data collection, MRI acquisition, biological sample collection, pre-processing, storage, shipping and distribution of samples, and analyzing standard meals for nutrient content. | 18 months |
