Terazosin and Parkinson's Disease Extension Study
NCT05109364
Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term effects of treatment with the selective post-synaptic a1-adrenergic blocker terazosin on serial in a population of subjects with defined pre-motor Parkinson's disease (PD) risks and abnormal imaging exams. Imaging changes will be correlated to the presence and severity of motor and non-motor symptoms of PD, measured by validated clinical scales and cardiac autonomic function tests.
