In honor of Parkinson’s Awareness Month, the Parkinson’s Foundation has launched the #ABCsofPD campaign to raise awareness about the disease. Approximately 1 million Americans have Parkinson’s, and the prevalence is increasing. The campaign focuses on educating the public about the early signs of Parkinson’s and providing resources on its symptoms. In other Parkinson’s news, the FDA approved a deep brain stimulation device, a partnership was announced to advance a digital biomarker platform, and a first-in-human clinical trial for a disease-modifying treatment has commenced. Caregiver depression is linked to patient quality of life, and a phase 2 study of an oral small molecule drug is set to begin.
