Dear John,
New therapies progress through the clinical trials testing pipeline each year with the goal of improving the quality of life for people with Parkinson’s and, ultimately, finding a cure. We want to give an overview of the latest updates in treatments. There are clinical trials that focus on non-therapeutic interventions such as exercise, but we really want to focus on what is happening in the therapeutic world. Join us on Wednesday, November 15 as Dr. Camila Aquino and Dr. Lorraine Kalia discuss the Canadian Clinical Trials Pipeline. Topics discussed in this webinar will be:
-
What is a clinical trial?
-
How to get involved in a trial?
-
What is the patient experience/patient engagement in clinical trials?
-
What is the difference between disease-modifying drugs (DMT) vs Symptomatic therapies (ST) [DBS, focused ultrasound]?
-
What is drug repurposing?
-
Where are we in therapeutics today?
