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.
The APM will be available for all people with Parkinson's — those who have been newly diagnosed, and those living with the disease.
Latest update
We are pleased to announce the Australian Parkinson’s Mission clinical trial (APM001) has now commenced, with eight sites across Australia (in NSW, VIC, SA, WA and QLD), opening for participant enrolment and recruitment beginning in the upcoming months. (Please note that some centres have already started screening and recruiting participants while other centres will begin in the near future).
If you would like more information on APM’s clinical trial please see the Participant Information Sheet (PDF).
To determine whether you are eligible to participate in the clinical trial, please contact the closest site in your state.
Please note: more details will be added as additional trial locations become active.
