The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, the safety, and the effect on biomarkers of 2 dose levels of oral GT-02287 over placebo after 48 weeks of treatment in treated and untreated participants with early PD.
This is a 48-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2a study testing two doses of oral GT-02287 in people with early Parkinson's disease (PD), both treated and untreated.
The study has three parts:
Approximately 111 participants will be randomized into three groups (high dose, low dose, placebo).
Participants can have idiopathic PD or be heterozygous for a pathogenic variant in the GBA1 gene. Participants who have other PD-associated genetic variants (e.g., leucine rich repeat kinase 2 [LRRK2]) are ineligible. All participants will be genotyped to determine their PD-associated genetic status before enrollment.
At the start, participants undergo screening and baseline tests, including motor assessments, quality of life, sensor measurements, and collection of fluid and blood samples for biomarkers. Some baseline tests may be done just before dosing.
The study will measure efficacy through various motor, quality of life, disease progression, non-motor and other symptoms of PD, and cognitive tests, along with wearable sensor data.
Safety will be assessed by recording adverse events, lab tests, vital signs, body weight, heart monitoring, and questionnaires.
The study will also analyze GT-02287 levels in blood and spinal fluid, and its effects on biomarkers.

| Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test [Effect on motor function] | Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test performed in the practically defined OFF state. The TUG is a clinical test for assessing functional mobility and balance, where a person times how long it takes to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn 180 degrees, walk back, and sit down again. A time of less than 14 to 15 seconds indicates good mobility, while longer times suggest an increased risk of falling, poor physical performance, and potentially neurological issues. | From baseline to Week 48 |
| Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire 39 (PDQ-39) score [Effect on quality of life] | Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire 39 (PDQ-39) score. The PDQ-39 is a 39-item self-report questionnaire, which assesses PD-specific health-related quality over the last month. The questionnaire measures 39 items, which assess 8 domains of health: mobility (10 items), activities of daily living (6 items), emotional well being (6 items), stigma (4 items), social support (3 items), cognitions (4 items), communication (3 items), and bodily discomfort (3 items). Each item is scored on the following scale: 0 = never, 1 = occasionally, 2 = sometimes, 3 = often, and 4 = always. Items in each subscale and the total scale can be summarized into an index and transformed linearly to a scale from 0 (perfect health as assessed by the measure) to 100 (worst health as assessed by the measure). | From baseline to Week 48 |
| Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living (SEADL) scale [Effect on activities of daily living] | Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living (SEADL) scale. The SEADL Scale assesses the capabilities of people with impaired mobility in a range of life activities. The scale uses a percentage score to rate a person's abilities, with 100% indicating complete independence (able to do all chores without slowness, difficulty, or impairment) and 0% indicating full dependence (bedridden and almost completely comatose). | From baseline to Week 48 |
| Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Patient Global Impression Scale - Severity (PGI-S) | Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Patient Global Impression Scale - Severity (PGI-S). The PGI-S is a simple, direct, easy to use scales used to rate the response of a condition to a therapy. It is a transition scale for the participant to rate their condition now as compared with how it was prior to before starting the treatment on a scale from 1 "Very much better" to 7 "Very much worse" with lower scores indicating greater improvement. | From baseline to Week 48 |
| Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Clinical Global Impressions Scale - Severity (CGI-S) | Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Clinical Global Impressions Scale - Severity (CGI-S). The CGI-C scale is a clinician-rated measures of severity of a symptom or condition, using a single item, 6-point-scale. The CGI-S scale ranges from 1 ("None") to 6 ("Very Severe") with lower scores indicating lower severity. | From baseline to Week 48 |
| From baseline to Week 48 |
| Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Cognitive Summary Score (CSS) [Effect on non-motor symptoms of PD] | Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Cognitive Summary Score (CSS). The CSS is a composite score that combines results from several detailed neuropsychological tests into a single, more sensitive measure of cognitive ability. It compares the score to norms to identify deficit in cognitive areas like processing speed, working memory, and verbal memory, and tracks cognitive changes over time. CSS scores can range from 0 to 100. A lower score indicates more significant cognitive impairment. | From baseline to Week 48 |
| Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT) total score | Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT) total score performed in the practically defined OFF state. The PPT is a standardized test to assess fine and gross motor skills and coordination, commonly used to evaluate manual abilities. It measures the ability to move the arms, hands, and fingers quickly and accurately by placing pegs into a board, both with individual hands and with both hands simultaneously, and in an assembly task. The time and the number of pegs inserted is recorded. A faster time is indicative of a better function, i.e., a higher score (more pegs) signifies better performance. | From baseline to Week 48 |
| Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Geriatric Depression Scale 15-item version (GDS-15) | Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Geriatric Depression Scale 15-item version (GDS-15). The 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) is a depression screening tool developed for use in older adults. The GDS-15 has a yes-no format. Scores range from 0 to 15; the higher the score the more likely the individual is experiencing depression. | From baseline to Week 48 |
| Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Movement Disorder Society-Non-motor Scale (MDS-NMS) score | Change from Baseline to Week 48 in the Movement Disorder Society-Non-motor Scale (MDS-NMS) score. The MDS-NMS is a 52-item rater-administered scale to assess a wide range of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease. It measures both frequency (0/never to 4/ >51% of the time) and severity (0/not present to 4/major distress or disturbance) of 13 domains (depression, anxiety, apathy, psychosis, impulse control/related disorders, cognition, orthostatic hypotension, urinary, sexual, gastrointestinal, sleep/wakefulness, pain, and other). Each question is scored by multiplying frequency x severity. All question scores for each domain are summed, and the scores for each domain are summed to provide the Total Score (range = 0-832) with the higher score indicating greater non-motor symptom burden. The higher the total score, the more progressed (i.e., worse) is the disease state. | From baseline to Week 48 |
| Change from Baseline to Week 48 in Neuronal Synuclein Disease (NSD) stage | Change from Baseline to Week 48 in Neuronal Synuclein Disease (NSD) stage. The NSD41 is a research framework that classifies the stages of diseases like PD by combining biological markers and functional impairment. It uses a 7-stage system, beginning with Stage 0 for a genetic variant and progressing through stages based on the presence of abnormal α synuclein protein, dopaminergic dysfunction, and the increasing severity of functional impairment in later stages. Higher stages are indicative of more severe functional impairment. | From baseline to Week 48 |
| Number of participants who require an increase in, or initiation of, dopaminergic treatment | Number of participants who require an increase in, or initiation of, dopaminergic treatment by Week 48. | From baseline to Week 48 |
