MDS 2023 | The role of risvodetinib in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease & other CNS diseases

Milton Werner, PhD, Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc., Atlanta, GA, discusses the role of risvodetinib in the treatment landscape of Parkinson’s disease. While several medications are in clinical development for disease modification, only a few ideas show promise, and risvodetinib is one of them. Currently, Parkinson’s disease is their primary focus due to its objective measures, such as analyzing how a person walks and moves. However, if they see clinical benefits of risvodetinib in Parkinson’s disease, it could potentially apply to other CNS diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington’s disease. This transformation in tackling major CNS diseases could pave the way for new treatments and improvement in patient care. This interview took place at the 2023 International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders in Copenhagen, Denmark.
