Average sample size · Parkinson’s across all stages

Planned sample size averages 255 participants

The six randomized Phase III trials have a median target of 121 participants and a range of 60 to 900. PARAISO is the largest and the dedicated early-stage Phase III comparator.

Results for early-stage Parkinson’s:

BHV-8000Phase II/III · Early-stage550 planned participants, analyzed separately from Phase III.

Targets cover the whole trial, including countries outside the EU. TEMPO-4 plans up to 1,200 participants in an open-label extension and contributes to experience rankings, but not the randomized sample-size average.

Coverage: Trial Agents’ CTIS collection as of 15 September 2026. Source: CTIS trial records and protocols, as of 15 September 2026, with PARAISO and BHV-8000 registry records. The broad group spans early-stage disease, mixed-stage extension populations and Parkinson’s with motor fluctuations or freezing of gait.

Rankings count distinct trial listings, including planned and historical involvement. They indicate experience, not recruitment capacity or performance. Separate hospital locations remain separate sites. Ties are ordered alphabetically, including ties at the tenth position.
