Summary
This program offers continued free access to the experimental drug BIA 28-6156 for people with Parkinson's disease who have a specific change in the GBA1 gene and have already completed the ACTIVATE study. Participants take one 60mg pill daily. The goal is to provide ongoing treatment while more data is collected.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- BIA 28-6156 (a drug taken orally once daily)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide ongoing symptom control for people with a specific genetic form of Parkinson's disease.
- What could go wrong
