Protocol of ASPro-PD: a phase 3 trial of ambroxol to slow progression in genetically stratified Parkinson’s disease

This trial is the largest to date to study the effect of ambroxol in PD, utilise a genetically stratified PD population and will provide robust estimates of the efficacy of ambroxol in slowing PD clinical progression.
