The Linked Clinical Trials (iLCT) programme aims to repurpose existing drugs that have shown promise in other diseases and test their effectiveness in people with Parkinson’s. Now in its 12th year, the iLCT initiative is the subject of this spring research update meeting focusing on advancements within the programme and featuring two key-note presentations: Professor Olivier Rascol will provide insights into the results from the phase 2 Lixipark study testing a diabetes drug, while Professor Per Svenningsson will present on the upcoming Montelukast phase 2 clinical trial testing an anti-inflammatory drug.
