READ MOREA small clinical trial showed that cancer drug Nilotinib may reverse late-stage Parkinson’s disease, potentially enabling participants to speak and walk again for the first time in years.
President and co-founder of The Cure Parkinson’s Trust, Tom Isaacs, has called for a close follow up of this small study to ensure that any opportunity for a breakthrough in the treatment of Parkinson’s is not missed.
