Article Synopsis
- Treatment strategies for Parkinson's disease can enhance quality of life but don't halt its progression. Recent studies indicate that erythropoietin may have neuroprotective benefits.
- In Cuba, two clinical trials were conducted at the Center for Molecular Immunology to assess the safety and effectiveness of recombinant erythropoietin variants in Parkinson's patients, focusing on cognitive function improvements.
- Results from the trials showed a significant positive response in cognitive functions after treatment, supporting the potential of erythropoietin as a neuroprotective option for Parkinson's disease, with further studies, including a Phase III trial, ongoing to validate these findings.
