The Parkinson Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI) is a longitudinal, observational, multi-center natural history study to assess progression of clinical features, digital outcomes, and imaging, biologic and genetic markers of Parkinson's disease (PD) progression in study participants with manifest PD, prodromal PD, and healthy controls.
The overall goal of PPMI is to identify markers of disease progression for use in clinical trials of therapies to reduce progression of PD disability.

Clinical Observation
In PPMI Clinical up to 4,500 participants will be enrolled and followed longitudinally once identified, over the course of 5-8 years.
|
- Establish standardized protocols for acquisition, transfer and analysis of clinical, digital, imaging, biologic and genetic data that can be used by the PD research community. [ Time Frame: Baseline to 156 months ]This protocol will build on the existing PPMI infrastructure
- Comprehensive and uniformly acquired dataset [ Time Frame: Baseline to 156 months ]Develop a comprehensive and uniformly acquired clinical, digital and imaging dataset and repository of biological and genetic samples that would be available to the PD research community to test hypotheses of the underlying molecular pathobiology of PD, enable modeling of PD progression to identify clinical and/or data driven PD progression sub-sets, and inform studies testing PD therapeutics (for examples, clinical trials targeting synuclein, LRRK2, GBA as well as other targets)
- Comparison between Rates of Change [ Time Frame: Study intervals ranging from 3 months to 156 months ]Use clinical and biological data to estimate the mean rates of change and the variability around the mean of clinical, digital, imaging, biological and genetic outcomes in study participants with PD diagnosis (including patients with a LRRK2, GBA, SNCA or rare genetic variants (such as Parkin or Pink1) and individuals with prodromal Parkinson's disease (including individuals with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD)), olfactory loss, LRRK2, GBA, SNCA or rare genetic variants (such as Parkin or Pink1) and/or other risk factors for PD with and without dopamine transporter (DAT) deficit and in healthy participants.
- Prevalence of measures of clinical, imaging and biomic outcomes in various subsets [ Time Frame: study intervals ranging from baseline to 156 months. ]Confirm existing and identify novel clinical, digital, imaging, biologic and genetic PD progression markers to identify quantitative individual measures or combinations of measures that demonstrate optimum interval change in study participants with PD diagnosis (including patients with a LRRK2, GBA, SNCA or rare genetic variants (such as Parkin or Pink1)) and individuals with prodromal Parkinson's disease (including individuals with RBD, olfactory loss, a LRRK2, GBA, SNCA or rare genetic variants (such as Parkin or Pink1) and/or other risk factors for PD with and without DAT deficit in comparison to healthy controls or in sub-sets of study participants with PD diagnosis or prodromal PD defined by baseline assessments, progression milestones and/or rate of clinical, digital, imaging, biologic and genetic change, or other measures.
- Establish the probability of phenoconversion to PD [ Time Frame: study intervals ranging from baseline to 156 months. ]Evaluate the probability of phenoconversion to PD for individuals with prodromal PD enrolled in the prodromal cohorts (including individuals with RBD, olfactory loss, a LRRK2, GBA, SNCA or rare genetic variants (such as Parkin or Pink1) and/ or other risk factors for PD with and without DAT deficit).

The specific predictive eligibility criteria for participants recruited through PPMI Remote to advance to PPMI Clinical will be iteratively optimized based on data collected from these studies.
7.5.1 Inclusion criteria (Prodromal)
For Screening:
-
Confirmation that participant is eligible based on centrally determined predictive criteria including the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT).
- For participants in PPMI Remote, referral to the clinical site confirms predictive eligibility.
- For participants identified by the clinical site, predictive criteria are based on generalized risk such as first degree biologic relative, known risk of PD including RBD, or known genetic variants associated with PD risk.
Additionally, confirmation of UPSIT eligibility during the Screening visit prior to SPECT Imaging.
- Male or female age 60 years or older (except age 30 years or older for SNCA, or rare genetic variants (such as Parkin or Pink1) participants).
- Individuals taking any of the following drugs: alpha methyldopa, methylphenidate, amphetamine derivatives or modafinil, must be willing and medically able to hold the medication for at least 5 half-lives before SPECT imaging.
- Able to provide informed consent.
-
Either is male, or is female and meets additional criteria below, as applicable:
• Female of childbearing potential who is not pregnant, lactating, or planning pregnancy during the study and has a negative pregnancy test on day of Screening SPECT imaging test prior to injection of DaTscanTM.
For continuation to Baseline visit and ongoing follow-up:
-
Confirmation that participant is eligible based on *Screening SPECT imaging.
- Screening SPECT Imaging eligibility:
Based on the results of the SPECT imaging test, Prodromal participants eligible to continue their participation in PPMI Clinical will be asked to return for their PPMI Clinical baseline visit. Neither the participant nor the site investigator will be made aware of the participant's DAT status during the study.
- It is anticipated that approximately 6,000 participants will complete a screening visit to undergo DAT imaging. Approximately 2,000 participants will be eligible to continue their participation in PPMI Clinical (those not eligible to proceed will remain in PPMI Remote, as applicable).
- All participants with DAT deficit will be eligible to continue their participation in PPMI Clinical. It is estimated that about 75% of eligible participants will have a DAT deficit (defined by a hybrid of visual assessment and quantitative striatal specific binding analysis).
- Some participants without DAT deficit will also be eligible to continue their participation in PPMI Clinical. These participants will be chosen based on DAT binding that is reduced from age expected but it not outside the normal range and/or from individuals with high-risk of PD including RBD, LRRK2, GBA, SNCA, or rare genetic variants (such as Parkin or Pink1) that do not demonstrate DAT deficit. It is estimated that about 25% of eligible participants will not have a DAT deficit.
- It is anticipated that approximately 30% of the PPMI Clinical prodromal participants with DAT deficit will phenoconvert to motor parkinsonism during a 3 to 5-year follow-up.
7.5.2 Exclusion Criteria (Prodromal)
- Clinical diagnosis of PD at screening, other parkinsonism, or dementia.
- Received any of the following drugs: dopamine receptor blockers (neuroleptics), metoclopramide and reserpine within 6 months of Baseline Visit.
- Current treatment with anticoagulants (e.g. coumadin, heparin) that might preclude safe completion of the lumbar puncture.
- Condition that precludes the safe performance of routine lumbar puncture, such as prohibitive lumbar spinal disease, bleeding diathesis, or clinically significant coagulopathy or thrombocytopenia.
- Any other medical or psychiatric condition or lab abnormality, which in the opinion of the investigator might preclude participation.
- Currently taking levodopa, dopamine agonists, MAO-B inhibitors, amantadine or another PD medication, except for low-dose treatment of restless leg syndrome (with permission of medical monitor).
- Has taken levodopa, dopamine agonists, MAO-B inhibitors or amantadine within 60 days of Baseline visit. except for low-dose treatment of restless leg syndrome (with permission of medical monitor).
- Any other reason that, in the opinion of the investigator, would render the participant unsuitable for study enrollment.
