I think it is hugely important that people with Parkinson’s are adequately represented at the WPC 2010 in Glasgow at the end of the month. Attendance, I accept, is not possible for everyone but I am anxious to ensure that those who have the capacity, the resources and the inclination, do come. Please forward this to as many people with Parkinson’s as you know and ask them to do the same. This is a crucial time in the delivery of new treatments and we, as the people living with the condition, must be involved in the process. To achieve this, it is imperative that we are seen and heard at conferences like this. Having been personally involved in the organisation of the Congress, I am confident that PwP’s who do invest the time and the money to go...http://www.cureparkinsons.org.uk/redirect.aspx?module=3&doc=0:37395&tid=rsshttp://www.cureparkinsons.org.uk/redirect.aspx?module=3&doc=0:37395&tid=rssThu, 07 Aug 2008 11:13:47 GMT EXENDIN TRIAL Patient recruitment has now started on the Exendin trial at the Institute of Neurology, Queens Square London Click here to find out more about this pilot study funded by The Cure Parkinson's Trust.   WORLD PARKINSONS CONGRESS. Click here to find out why you shouldn't miss this event which will be hosted for the first time in the UK between the 28th September and the 1st October 2010.

This, in turn, leads to a greater sense of control over your life which is a fundamental ingredient to being able to cope effectively with Parkinson's." The Tool is designed to enable individuals to gain a better sense of the overall pattern of their Parkinson’s and how it affects day to day life.   Using the Tool is very straightforward.  Each participant is asked to identify an activity that they do every day and monitor it for up to two weeks leading up to their next appointment with their healthcare...http://www.cureparkinsons.org.uk/redirect.aspx?module=3&doc=0:46028&tid=rsshttp://www.cureparkinsons.org.uk/redirect.aspx?module=3&doc=0:46028&tid=rssWed, 01 Sep 2010 15:58:02 GMT Phytopharm is initiating a Phase II dose ranging and proof of concept study of Cogane™ (PYM50028). The study will investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Cogane™ administered to approximately 400 patients with early stage Parkinson's disease for 28 weeks. The primary endpoint for the study will be the change in activities of daily living and motor function as measured by the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Parts II and III. Other efficacy endpoints include assessment of cognitive function and quality of life. The study will be conducted in leading movement disorder centres in the USA, UK, Canada, France and Germany. FDA approval has been received and patient enrolment is planned to begin in late 2010, with results of the trial expected in late 2012.
