deferiprone and Parkinson Disease

deferiprone has been researched along with Parkinson Disease in 9 studies

Deferiprone: A pyridone derivative and iron chelator that is used in the treatment of IRON OVERLOAD in patients with THALASSEMIA.
deferiprone : A member of the class of 4-pyridones that is pyridin-4(1H)-one substituted at positions 1 and 2 by methyl groups and at position 3 by a hydroxy group. A lipid-soluble iron-chelator used for treatment of thalassaemia.

Parkinson Disease: A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

Trial Outcomes

Iron Concentrations in the Dentate Nucleus

Assess whether Deferiprone therapy directly affects the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, modify regional brain mineralization (iron concentration) as assessed with T2* MRI in PD patients in the dentate nucleus. In previous animal studies, Deferiprone treatment reduced dentate nucleus iron content, as assessed by MRI. An increase in the T2*MRI value represents an increase in mineralization. (NCT01539837)
Timeframe: 6 months
