Could an Iron-Removing drug slow Parkinson's?
NCT ID NCT00943748
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a drug called deferiprone can safely reduce harmful iron buildup in the brains of people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. Forty participants took either deferiprone or a placebo for six months. The goal was to see if lowering brain iron could slow the worsening of movement problems. The results may help decide if a larger study is worthwhile.
