These trials and studies are for those with PD, those that carry GBA mutations, those with both PD and GBA mutations and those without either (controls). Following the recent update about the ASPro-PD study, we will also be providing some more specific information about how the screening referral process will work.The webinar will be followed by a Q&A session where you can ask any questions you may have about trial and study opportunities, these can be populated in the chat throughout the presentation. Please note that any specific queries about your own eligibility are best directed to the pdfrontline mailbox if you are still unclear following the criteria discussed in the webinar (pdfrontline@ucl.ac.uk).The flyer attached provides some key details and a link to register for the webinar – this can also be found below:https://ucl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3xh_gTLcQrapzSOArEJHiQWishing you a lovely week, |

The study is an online study based primarily at University College London with recruitment sites at a variety of other centres across the UK. It is in collaboration with Wesnes cognition, AAH software, The Gaucher association, Parkinson’s UK and the Cure Parkinson’s Trust. We thank you for your continued support.

Dr Cristina Dias and Dr Ania Koziell, both King’s College London, explain more.
