Central Nervous System Uptake of Intranasal Glutathione in Parkinson's Disease
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Reduced Glutathione for Parkinson's Disease. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Excessive free radical formation and depletion of the brain's primary antioxidant, glutathione, are established components of Parkinson's disease (PD) pathophysiology. While there is rationale for the therapeutic use of reduced glutathione (GSH) in PD, and even some preliminary evidence to suggest the use of GSH can lead to symptomatic improvement, obstacles surrounding currently employed delivery methods have hindered the clinical utility of this therapy. Intranasal GSH, (in)GSH, is a novel method of glutathione augmentation. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether 200 mg of (in)GSH results in measurable changes in brain glutathione concentrations, as measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in 15 individuals with PD.
