This multicenter retrospective observational study investigates the incidence of malignant neoplasms in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients carrying heterozygous pathogenic variants in the GBA1 gene. The study compares these patients to individuals with idiopathic PD and to the general population within a large national cohort. The rationale for the study lies in the growing evidence indicating an increased risk of malignant neoplasms in patients affected by Gaucher disease. The primary objective is to assess whether PD patients with GBA1 mutations have a higher incidence of malignant neoplasms compared to the general population. Secondary objectives include comparing the incidence of malignant neoplasms between GBA1-PD and idiopathic PD patients, as well as between idiopathic PD patients and the general population. Additionally, the study aims to characterize oncological conditions by sex, age, center, and tumor site, with specific attention to distinguishing hematologic tumors from solid tumors. By identifying potential associations between GBA1 mutations and malignancies in PD, the findings could guide more comprehensive patient management, including screening for malignant neoplasms alongside Parkinson's disease care.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
