An early biomarker analysis from this study is anticipated in Q2 2025, with a full analysis expected by Q4 2025. The results will help in planning a Phase 2 study later in the year. The ongoing Phase 1b trial is taking place across seven sites in Australia and has shown a strong enrollment rate. The research has received financial support from several foundations and programs, including The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
