Efficacy and Safety of BIA 9-1067 in Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease Patients.

Summary

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of unknown aetiology with an estimated incidence of 4.5-16/100,000 persons/year. BIA 9-1067 is currently being developed by BIAL (Portela \& Cª,S.A.) to be used in addition to L-DOPA (Levodopa) /carbidopa or L-DOPA (Levodopa) / preparations in PD patients. Promising results have been obtained for BIA 9-1067 in previous studies.
