Research and development in Parkinson's disease -
drugs in development.


Atuka continually reviews R&D activity where an indication of use in Parkinson's disease appears to be the intention of the company or institution. We focus on,

  • Dopaminergic therapies in development
  • Non-dopaminergic symptomatic therapies in development
  • Anti-dyskinetic adjunctive therapies in development, and,
  • Neuroprotective/ restorative therapies in development

We regularly publish summaries of our reviews, e.g.
