Therapies for Tomorrow: How Better Clinical Trial Design Leads to Better Treatments (Webinar Audio)

The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson's Podcast

The drug development pipeline is key to bringing new therapies to people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). With major breakthroughs in research in the past year, including a new biomarker for PD, The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) study and other initiatives can be leveraged to create better designed trials. This audio from our Third Thursdays Webinar features a conversation about all the ways clinical trial design is changing, and why leaders in the space believe those changes will lead to better treatments. The webinar includes contributions from a person with PD, a researcher and an industry leader.
