What is the Protect study aiming to do?
The Protect study is testing a new drug called MitoQ which may help to prevent the nerve cell damage that leads to Parkinson's disease. This study is a Phase 2 trial, which will test how well MitoQ works and how safe it is. The drug has completed initial safety studies (Phase 1 trials) in people without Parkinson's disease.

If it works, what will MitoQ do?
It is anticipated that MitoQ will slow or arrest the progression of Parkinson's disease symptoms.
