[Editorial] Accelerating research for Parkinson’s disease
Despite considerable ongoing translational and clinical research efforts, no disease-modifying drugs have been approved for Parkinson's disease. The Accelerating Medicines Partnership Parkinson's disease (AMP PD) programme, launched on Jan 30, 2018, is the most ambitious initiative so far to find a cure for Parkinson's disease. Formed by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), five biopharmaceutical and life science companies, and one non-profit organisation, this partnership is focused on discovering novel therapeutic targets and on developing biomarkers to help validate existing therapeutic targets for Parkinson's disease.
