UK launches £26M Parkinson’s trial testing repurposed drugs to slow disease progression.
The UK’s largest Parkinson’s trial, EJS ACT-PD, has launched with £26 million in funding, testing repurposed drugs like a blood pressure medication and prostate treatment to slow disease progression.
Led by UCL and Newcastle University, it uses a flexible design to evaluate multiple therapies at once, potentially cutting years off drug development.
Recruiting up to 1,600 participants across 40+ hospitals, the trial aims to improve access and inclusivity while using real-time data to adapt treatments.
It focuses on disease-modifying therapies, not just symptom relief, offering hope for millions affected by Parkinson’s.
