Clinical trials

We are actively recruiting for our Parkinson's disease clinical trials.

Clinical trials

The Australian Parkinson's Mission will conduct an Australian clinical trials program using repurposed drugs (potentially disease modifying drugs that could slow, stop or reverse Parkinson’s progression), integrated with transformative research, to identify and fast-track effective treatments for people with Parkinson’s. The program will run over 5 years.

Clinical Trial Site Locations

The Australian Parkinson’s Mission clinical trial (APM001) is open for participant enrolment and recruitment. To determine whether you are eligible to participate in the clinical trial, please contact the closest site in your state.
