The Parkinson Pipeline Project and other Interested PWPs have completed a new Parkinson's Clinical Trial Participants Bill of Rights. With all the concern about drug safety and safety in clinical trials, we think this is a timely issue. Please read it and let us know what you think. Background Information at: A New Era in Collaboration: The Road to a Parkinson's Clinical Trial Participants' Bill of Rights http://www.pdpipeline.org/advocacy/anewera.htm "Clinical trials are the stepping-stones to discovering new, more effective treatments for Parkinson’s disease. Research and approval of new treatments cannot be conducted without human volunteers, who agree to take substantial risks in hopes of improving their health and their lives, furthering scientific knowledge, and ultimately finding a cure for Parkinson’s." The Parkinson’s Clinical Trial Participants’ Bill of Rights is at: http://www.pdpipeline.org/advocacy/rights.htm "The purpose of the Parkinson’s Clinical Trial Participants’ Bill of Rights is to: "Acknowledge the rights people with Parkinson’s (PWP) have when participating in clinical research trials. "Educate everyone with a direct interest in these trials about standards that will improve the overall clinical research process, increase clinical trial participation, and help speed discovery and approval of treatments for Parkinson’s disease."
