Abstract
The primary neuropathological characteristics of the Parkinsonian brain are the loss of nigral dopamine neurons and the aggregation of alpha synuclein protein. Efforts to development potentially disease-modifying treatments have largely focused on correcting these aspects of the condition. In the last decade treatments targeting protein aggregation have entered the clinical pipeline. In this chapter we provide an overview of ongoing clinical trial programs for different therapies attempting to reduce protein aggregation pathology in Parkinson's disease. We will also briefly consider various novel approaches being proposed-and being developed preclinically-to inhibit/reduce aggregated protein pathology in Parkinson's.
