Alkahest update
 

Simon has recently done a substantial SoPD blog post on this (and related) research:

Young plasma state-of-play
 

From Simon's SoPD blog post, here is my understanding of the current state-of-play regarding "young plasma for PD".

The clinical trial that Nan_Cyclist took part in (NCT02968433), conducted at the Stanford Movement Disorders Clinic, is now coming to an end.

Independently of this, researchers (from Stanford University and Alkahest) who conducted the earlier "young plasma for AD" trial (NCT02256306), have "distilled" young plasma into an injectable "drug" (GRF6021) that is now being tested in a Phase 2 trial involving 90 volunteers with either PD or PD with mild cognitive impairment (NCT03713957).

An earlier version of the drug (GRF6019), consisting of about 400 proteins, is currently being tested on volunteers with either mild-to-moderate (NCT03520998 ) or severe (NCT03765762) Alzheimer's disease.

For anyone who might be interested, the new PD trial is currently recruiting PwPs.

Youngest plasma !
 

I've come across some PD pre-clinical research with mice, using cord blood plasma (CBP). Possible future plans include combining CBP with mesenchymal stem cells.

Mid-2020 update regarding "young plasma for PD"
 

Here is my understanding of the current state-of-play regarding "young plasma for PD" clinical trials.
​
​The "young plasma for PD" trial that Nan_Cyclist took part in (NCT02968433), conducted at the Stanford Movement Disorders Clinic, is now overdue for completion.​
Status: Active, not recruiting
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2019 (no results published AFAIK)

Status (of both): Completed
Results: In December 2019, Alkahest presented data from NCT03520998.

In addition, Alkahest have recently started a trial "Assessing Efficacy and Safety of AKST4290 in Subjects With Parkinson's Disease on Stable Dopaminergic Treatment". AKST4290 (a non-plasma-derived product) is an orally-administered small molecule that acts as a modulator of inflammation. More information on AKST4290 (formerly called ALK4290) is available in this SoPD blog post from Simon (December 2018):

For anyone who might be interested, the new PD trial is currently recruiting PwPs.

Mid-2020 update update!
 

The "young plasma for PD" trial that Nan Cyclist took part in (NCT02968433), conducted at the Stanford Movement Disorders Clinic, has published its results.
