Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been considerable activity in the clinical development of novel and improved drug-based therapies for the neurodegenerative condition of Parkinson’s disease (PD) during 2020. The agents that were investigated can be divided into “symptomatic” (alleviating the features of the condition) and “disease modifying” (attempting to address the underlying biology of PD) treatments, ST and DMT respectively, with further categorisation possible based on mechanism of action and class of therapy.
