New molecules targeting c-Abl protein ... I truely believe this is the real neuroprotective hope for PD. You don't even need to do trials on humans to proof this. If you know a certain protein is causing damage to your neurons, then targeting these proteins will slow down the progression. The only reason to conduct a trial is to verify whether this new product has severe side-effects or not.

And I think these meds are not too far away anymore. According to the CEO of Intellect Neurosciences he expects a disease modifying drug for Alzheimer in 2015:

Very interesting and promising, even though I realize that in past people have been very optimistic with their predictions. But now I do have the feeling that scientist are understanding the mechanisms in PD and AD better and therefore designing medication with more prospects.

This is another very promising neuroprogressive med, again targeting toxic protein involved in the degenaration of the neurons:

It is called ReS9-S7 and is one of the most promising products according to the Michael J fox foundation. Clinical phase 1 already started in 2009/2010.

I think so too. I think we already have such drugs but we just have to wait for them to go through all the phases of clinical trials.
