If the normal protein clumps , Parkinson ’ s disease is present .
Making Drug Trials More Efficient
PD
Identify the right people for the right studies .
Making trial outcomes clearer , so we can tell if treatments are working .
Earlier detection sets the stage for testing therapies that could prevent PD .
Our Roadmap Forward
Integrate αSyn-SAA into ongoing drug trials .
Develop the first biological staging of Parkinson ’ s to make all trial outcomes clearer . Read more on p . 12
Fund research using the test to deepen understanding of Parkinson ’ s biology and disease subtypes .
