Since 2020, annual reports on the clinical development of new drug-based therapies for neurodegenerative condition Parkinson's disease (PD) have been generated. These reviews followed progress both "symptomatic treatments" (ST - improves/reduces symptoms condition) and "disease modifying (DMT attempts to delay/slow progression by addressing underlying biology PD). Additional efforts made further categorize these experimental treatments based their mechanisms action class drug.A dataset...
There is a critical need for careful and independent validation of reported symptomatic efficacy dopaminergic biomarker changes induced by nilotinib in Parkinson disease (PD).To assess safety tolerability participants with moderately advanced PD. Secondary exploratory objectives were to its affect on PD disability, pharmacokinetics, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) penetration, biomarkers.This was 6-month, multicenter, randomized parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Recruitment...
Abstract Background Nilotinib, a tyrosine kinase Abelson inhibitor, exhibits neuroprotective effects in preclinical Parkinson disease (PD) models. Methods This Phase 2A double-blind placebo-controlled study moderate/advanced PD randomized participants 1:1:1 to placebo:150:300 mg nilotinib matching capsules once daily for 6 months. The primary outcomes were safety and tolerability, the latter defined as ability complete on assigned dose. Secondary included change disability (Movement Disorder...

Background: Design of disease modification (DM) trials for Parkinson’s (PD) is challenging. Successful delivery requires a shared understanding priorities and practicalities. Objective: To seek stakeholder consensus on phase 3 trials’ overall goals structure, inclusion criteria, outcome measures, trial understand where perspectives differ. Methods: An international expert panel comprising people with (PwP), care partners (CP), clinical scientists, representatives from industry, funders...
