Genetic testing isn’t performed on most people with PD. If this or other gene-specific clinical trials show benefit, things will need to change quickly. @EdinburghParki2 @ParkinsonsUKSco @TonySchapira @ParkinsonsDoc @AnneRowlClinic @NRS_NDN @GordonWDuncan @EdinUniBrainSci

(1/3) Cure Parkinson’s is delighted that the large-scale phase 3 clinical trial of ambroxol for Parkinson’s – ASPro-PD – is to start early in 2023. Find out more here: buff.ly/3IChoIf #ambroxolphase3 @VAInstitute @ParkinsonsUK @UCLIoN
