The investigators have shown that the secretion pattern differs between PD patients and controls. Beside ghrelin and pancreatic polypeptide other gut-derived peptides (e.g. Glucagon-like-Peptide 1\\[GLP-1\\], Amylin, etc.) might be relevant for PD as well. The rational to investigate gut-derived peptides in the neurological disorder Parkinson's disease (PD) is based on the following considerations:\n\n* Receptors for gut-derived peptides are expressed in Central Nervous System (CNS) structures that are affected by the neurodegenerative process underlying Parkinson's disease\n* Gut-derived peptides are involved in the modulation of higher brain functions (mood, cognition, reward-related behaviour) that are frequently altered in Parkinson's disease.\n* The secretion of gut peptides is (co-)regulated by the vagal nerve that is dysfunctional in Parkinson's disease.\n* Certain gut-derived peptides (ghrelin, GLP-1) stimulate neurogenesis and might be able to prevent cell death in neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease.\n\nObjective:\n\nCollection of CSF and serum samples in a standardized way in order to quantitatively measure the concentration of gut-derived peptides (ghrelin, leptin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide \\[GIP\\], GLP-1, amylin, PP, peptide YY \\[PYY\\], and insulin). Scientific questions:\n\n1. Do CSF (and serum) concentrations of these gut peptides differ between PD patients and controls?\n2. Do CSF (and serum) concentrations of the investigated peptides correlate with clinical and / or epidemiological characteristics of the investigated subjects (age, gender, BMI, disease duration, severity of motor impairments, presence of non-motor symptoms, co-morbidities, medication, etc.)?"}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': "Patients with Parkinson's disease", 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Main Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Informed consent to participate\n* Capability to understand risks of study-related procedures\n* For PD cohort: diagnosis of (idiopathic) Parkinson's disease\n\nMain Exclusion Criteria:\n\n* Pregnancy\n* Subjects incompetent to provide informed consent\n* Subjects that cannot undergo a lumbar puncture for medical reasons (thrombocytopenia, anticoagulation, increased cranial pressure)\n* For control cohort: presence of a neurodegenerative disorder"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01792193', 'briefTitle': "Gut-derived Neuropeptides in Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients With Parkinson's Disease and Healthy Controls", 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Universität des Saarlandes'}, 'officialTitle': "Quantitative Analysis of Gut-derived Neuropeptides in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) of Patients With Parkinson's Disease and Healthy Controls", 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Studie 139/12'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': "Parkinson's disease", 'description': "Patients with Parkinson's disease"}, {'label': 'Control', 'description': 'Healthy controls'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '66421', 'city': 'Homburg / Saar', 'state': 'Saarland', 'country': 'Germany', 'facility': 'Saarland University'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Dr. Marcus Unger', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Consultant / Oberarzt der Klinik für Neurologie', 'investigatorFullName': 'Dr. Marcus Unger', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Universität des Saarlandes'}}}}
