- A Trial to Test the Use of Dapansutrile, an Anti-inflammatory Medication, in People With Parkinson’s Disease — Recruiting • Phase II • Neurology • NCT07157735.
- What is being tested: Dapansutrile, an anti-inflammatory medication that inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, is being evaluated to determine whether reducing neuroinflammation can slow disease progression in Parkinson's disease.
- Patient eligibility overview: The trial includes people with confirmed Parkinson's disease diagnoses; specific eligibility criteria typically encompass disease stage, age range, and absence of significant comorbidities or contraindications to the investigational drug.

In Parkinson's disease (PD), there is inflammation in the brain, the gut and the blood, which is thought to contribute to the development and progression of the disease. The Nod-like receptor (NLR) family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a complex of proteins which plays a critical role in mediating inflammation, and there is growing evidence from laboratory research that the inflammasome plays a role in Parkinson's disease. Dapansutrile is a new drug which has a highly specific effect on the NLRP3 inflammasome. In animal models, dapansutrile can protect…
