Check Eligibility →Description
This is an exploratory phase 2a study to investigate two doses of resveratrol (JotrolTM) vs placebo in individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Participants (n=30) will be randomized 1:1:1 into 3 groups and will receive oral JotrolTM vs placebo. Study drug will be titrated to reach a final maximal dose per group and will be administered orally once daily (QD) for 3 months. The study will primarily evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of JotrolTM.

Trans-Resveratrol
(Drug)
Resveratrol (RSV) - or Trans-resveratrol- is polyphenolic compound in many plants, including grape, peanut, and berries. Biologically, RSV is a Sirtuin (SIRT) 1 activator that stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis; and regulates mitochondrial dynamics via autophagy (referred to as mitophagy). RSV plays a role in parkin-related mitophagy, which is necessary for mitochondrial dynamics but it is deficient in neurodegenerative diseases, including PD. RSV inhibits the activation of the NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3) inflammasome, thereby lowering inflammation. The parallel roles of RSV to inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome, increase autophagy and maintain mitochondrial integrity indicate that RSV is a therapeutic candidate that has strong neuroprotective effects via autophagy and inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome.
