What This Trial Is Studying

In Parkinson's disease (PD), there is inflammation in the brain, the gut and the blood, which is thought to contribute to the development and progression of the disease. The Nod-like receptor (NLR) family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a complex of proteins which plays a critical role in mediating inflammation, and there is growing evidence from laboratory research that the inflammasome plays a role in Parkinson's disease. Dapansutrile is a new drug which has a highly specific effect on the NLRP3 inflammasome. In animal models, dapansutrile can protect…
