Is Age A Factor For Receiving A Trial Drug For PD?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am a 76 year old male with stage 1 PD. My medication is the Neuropro transdermal patch. My neurologist mentioned very interesting results with experimental trials using stem cells.
when I asked how I can be in these trials, and willing to sign any waiver, the response was that I am too old to be in the trials.

Are these trials or even access to trial drugs restricted due to age?????

I know some cancer treatments are limited for older patients, perhaps because they are very expensive and the lifespan isn't likely to be as long or maybe because older patients don't respond as well to various treatments because their systems slow down. I don't know about PD trials.

You can try this. It’s not a drug. It’s a vitamin that’s being used to great effect in Italy and the UK.
