Projectdetails

Introduction

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting over 10 million people worldwide, of which 1.2 million are in the EU. This chronic disabling disease affects the central nervous system, causing severe motor and non-motor symptoms.

Economic Impact

The high disease burden for patients and their families also comes with a significant price tag for society, which is expected to increase dramatically with an ageing population. In the EU, the annual cost is currently 14 billion euros.

Pathology and Treatment

The causes of PD are unknown, and there is a broad spectrum of pathologies that ultimately lead to the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. The current dopamine substitution treatments alleviate some of the symptoms; however, there is no cure for PD nor any disease-modifying therapies.

Innovation by Herantis

Herantis has developed a new pharmaceutical, HER-096, with the ability to affect PD pathology and the potential to revolutionize the treatment of PD. This innovation aims to alleviate the huge burden that PD currently imposes on patients and healthcare systems.
