Clinical Study of HER-096 in Healthy Volunteer Subjects and Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Finland32 participantsStarted 2024-09-23
Plain-language summary
In this clinical study, the safety and tolerability of HER-096 and the way the body interacts with the drug (pharmacokinetics) will be investigated. The clinical study consists of two parts. In Part 1, the drug HER-096 is given as a single dose to healthy volunteer subjects. In Part 2, HER-096 or placebo (physiological saline) is given as multiple doses during a 4-week period to patients with Parkinson´s disease. The doses are given as injections under the skin (subcutaneous injection).

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

. Susceptibility to severe allergic reactions, e.g. history of anaphylactic shock due to any reason.
. Any condition requiring regular concomitant medication (including non-prescriptional over-the-counter (OTC) drugs), or likely to need any concomitant medication during the study. As exceptions, hormone replacement therapy in female subjects and supplementation therapy with thyroxin, iron, calcium, folate and vitamin B12 at recommended doses is allowed. Vitamin D supplementation at doses of 20 µg/day or less is also allowed. The use of other vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products, at recommended doses, may be allowed at the investigator's discretion. Occasional use of paracetamol for pain is allowed.
. Use of any medication that might affect the study results or cause a health risk for the subject within 2 weeks prior to IMP administration.
