The Synuclein-One Study (Syn-One) is a 500-patient, multicenter clinical study carried out by leading neurologists at academic centers across the U.S. The study aims to further validate the sensitivity and specificity of CND Life Sciences’ Syn-One Test to distinguish between the different types of synucleinopathies.
What is this study about?
Synuclein-One Study, an NIH funded research study strives to gather important data to help demonstrate the sensitivity and accuracy of the Syn-One Test. The Syn-One test looks for abnormal proteins inside the nerves in the skin. When this abnormal protein clumps it can cause problems in the way the central nervous system works. Scientists at CND Life Sciences have been working for more than 10 years to create the Syn-One Test to detect abnormal synuclein.
What’s involved?
Play an important role in advancing the science and application of the Syn-One test through participation in this one visit study that takes two hours to complete.
You will have an exam and provide medical history. You will complete questionnaires and a medical professional will take 3 small skin samples (called biopsies).
You will earn $50 for your full participation
Who can participate?
An individual may be able to take part in the study if he/she is either:
- Men or women 40-99 years old
- People with:
- Dementia with Lewy Bodies
- Multiple system atrophy
- Pure autonomic failure
You won’t be able to participate if you:
- Have heart disease
- Have had a stroke
- Are a current smoker or have a history of alcohol abuse disorder
- Use blood thinners (Plavix or aspirin is allowed, not both)
- Have a history of scarring or keloid formation
