The Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers Program (PDBP) was established to advance discovery of biomarkers that will improve the efficiency and outcome of Phase II clinical trials for Parkinson's disease (PD). To accomplish this goal the PDBP supports: 1) hypothesis driven clinical biomarker discovery research and 2) the standardized collection of clinical data and biospecimen samples that will enable biomarker exploratory efforts. Standardized collection of clinical data is accomplished through a required set of clinical research forms and electronic data entry via the ProFoRMS module in the PDBP Data Management Resource (DMR). Each participating clinical site follows a standardized schedule for patient visits and clinical data collection. Standardized biospecimen collection is accomplished through the routine application of biospecimen collection protocols across the clinical sites. Biospecimens are sent to the NINDS Cell and DNA repository for cataloging, quality assessment and distribution.
