NAD Supplementation in Parkinson's Disease
Neurovascular Coupling, Clinical Outcomes, and NAD Supplementation in Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether Nicotinamide Riboside, a form of Vitamin B3 also known as NR, can improve blood vessel health in the brain, memory, and physical function in eligible study participants. NR is considered investigational for this study because it is not yet established for this specific use.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can NR improve non-invasive measures of blood vessel health in the brain? Can NR improve memory testing results and physical function?
Researchers will compare participants who receive NR with participants who receive a placebo, an inactive substance that looks like the study drug, to see if NR has beneficial effects. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either NR or placebo.
They will complete 3 study visits over 13 weeks at the Translational Geroscience Laboratory at the University of Oklahoma Health Campus. During the visits, participants will complete questionnaires, memory testing, non-invasive blood vessel measurements, physical function tests, and a blood draw.

Description détaillée
This is a single-site, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating oral nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, in adults over 55 years of age with Parkinson's disease. NR is commercially available as a dietary supplement, however, its use in this study for Parkinson's disease is considered investigational because it is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a treatment for Parkinson's disease.
The purpose of this study is to explore whether daily NR supplementation over 12 weeks may improve measures related to brain health, memory, motor function, physical performance, and vascular function in participants with Parkinson's disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either NR or placebo. Neither the participants nor the investigators will choose the assigned group.
Study participation includes 3 in-person visits: screening, baseline, and follow-up. Study procedures include collection of medical and health information, questionnaires, blood draw, memory and cognitive testing, non-invasive measurements of brain activity and blood vessel function, walking and balance assessments, grip strength testing, and use of a study watch to assess activity and sleep patterns.
The study procedures will be conducted at the Translational Geroscience Laboratory at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.
