It’s a very exciting time for Parkinson’s research. With an emphasis on genetics, recognising PD types and matching individuals to specific trials, latest therapies are going beyond addressing the symptoms… Finally we’ve made that leap towards stopping (and even reversing) disease progression. All advocates have a valuable role to play but these PwPs are at the coalface. To read more about clinical trials of drugs that might slow, stop or reverse Parkinson’s, click here or see CPT site below. For our information on how to run a successful clinical trial click here.
To register your interest in clinical trials with Parkinson’s Movement, please fill out our form by clicking the link below and we will contact you when trials come up for which you would be suitable.
The Cure Parkinson's Trust
The Cure Parkinson’s Trust manage and facilitate an innovative research programme called Linked Clinical Trials with the sole aim of bringing forward treatments that biochemically show the potential to slow, stop or reverse Parkinson’s. Each year around 25 compounds are evaluated and prioritised by some of the world’s leading Parkinson’s experts to decide which drugs should be brought forward into trial. The first being brought forward into trial are Deferiprone and Simvastatin. You can find factsheets about the Deferiprone trial and the Simvastatin trial on The Cure Parkinson’s Trust website.
PD Trial Tracker
The goal of PDTrialTracker.info is to provide members of the PD community with analysis of ongoing clinical trials and observational studies globally, so that they can understand the types of trials underway and where they are in the pipeline, completed trial information, improve the trial process; recruitment etc., highlight the most promising avenues of research, and facilitate greater collaboration between PwP, families, researchers, and physicians to accelerate progress towards a cure.
Hope List
The Hope List is a fantastic list of trials for Parkinson’s disease therapies in development organised by Kevin McFarthing. It is updated regularly and can be found here

Fox Trial Finder
The Michael J Fox Foundation has unveiled a new and improved Fox Trial Finder to match volunteers with clinical trials. By matching participants to trials, Fox Trial Finder removes barriers to Parkinson’s research, bringing better treatments to patients faster.

Fox Trial Finder
If you are interested in taking part in other trials you can register with Fox Trial Finder. Fox Trial Finder was created by the Michael J. Fox Foundation to help increase the numbers of people taking part in trials to accelerate the Parkinson’s drug development process. This includes both people living with Parkinson’s and ‘control’ participants who do not have Parkinson’s. There is also more general information about trials.
