Clinical trials

The Cure Parkinson’s Trust (CPT) funds work to slow, stop or reverse Parkinson’s (PD).  We fund both clinical trials and preclinical work which seeks to open up new avenues in the search for a cure - all of which have the potential to make a real difference to the lives of people living with Parkinson's.

CPT was founded by four people with Parkinson’s which means that patient experience informs all our work. If you would like to help us drive forward our research, please donate today - thank you.

Stem Cell (Dopamine Cell Replacement) Therapies For Parkinson's

Stem Cell (Dopamine Cell Replacement) Therapies For Parkinson's

When diagnosed, people with Parkinson’s have often had the disease for years and have lost over half of the dopamine producing cells in their brain. Now scientists are searching for a way to replace these nerve cells. Read more
