Eligibility Criteria

All

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1.Adult Patients
  • 2.Parkinson's disease diagnosed according The Movement Disorder Society Clinical Diagnotic Criteria for Parkinson's Disease (PD).
  • 3.Treatment-naïve, i.e. the best population for assessing a disease-modifying effect without the interaction of dopaminergic treatment (no dopaminergic agonists, L-dopa, anticholinergics, monoamine oxidase B inhibitors (e.g. rasagiline) or deep brain stimulation).
  • 4.Patients covered by a Health Insurance System in countries where required by law
  • 5.Written informed consent dated and signed prior to the beginning of any procedures related to the clinical trial
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range:
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 169
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 169

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1. Disease duration greater than 18 months.
  • 2. Patients with high frequency of comorbidity or vital risks that
  • may reasonably impair life expectancy
  • 3. Subject with handicap required dopaminergic treatment at
  • the inclusion and therefore likely not to bear 9 months without
  • symptomatic treatment
  • 4. Hoehn and Yahr stage 3 or more.
  • 5. Significant cognitive impairment (a Mini Mental State
  • Examination score <24 or an equivalent impairment on a
  • similar scale) or dementia diagnosed in accordance with the
  • Movement Disorders Society criteria (Emre et al., 2007).
  • 6. Atypical or secondary parkinsonism (supranuclear palsy,
  • multisystem atrophy, etc.) or significant cortical or subcortical
  • atrophy (i.e. atypical for PD).
  • 7. Progressing axis I psychiatric disorders (psychosis,
  • hallucinations, substance addiction, bipolar disorder, or
  • severe depression), in accordance with the Diagnostic and
  • Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
  • 8. Subjects undergoing brain stimulation.
  • 9. Due to the high risk of agranulocytosis caused by the IMP
  • and the unknown mechanism by which this agranulocytosis
  • is induced, it is not allowed to combine Deferiprone with other
  • medicinal products causing agranulocytosis (as described in
  • the IB). Such medicinal products are the already mentioned
  • clozapine and also some NSAIDs (e.g. Phenylbutazone or
  • Metamizole), antithyroid agents, sulfonamide antibiotics or
  • metothrexate.
  • 10. A history of relapsing neurotropenia
  • 11. Hypersensitivity to deferiprone.
  • 12. Patients with agranulocytosis or with a history of
  • agranulocytosis.
  • 13. Patients taking a treatment at risk of agranulocytosis
  • (clozapine, Closaril®/Leponex®).
  • 14. Patients with anaemia (regardless of the latter's aetiology) or
  • a history of another haematological disease.
  • Haemochromatosis is not an exclusion criterion.
  • 15. Pregnant or breastfeeding women or women of childbearing
  • potential not taking highly effective contraception.
  • 16. Kidney or liver failure.
  • 17. Other serious diseases.
  • 18. Inability to provide informed consent.
  • 19. Participation in another clinical trial with investigational
  • medicinal product within 3 months prior to inclusion in the
  • 20. Patient who has suffered mild or moderate depressive
  • episode and isn’t in remission and on a stable medication for
  • at least 8 weeks
  • 21. Patient > 130 kg
  • Exclusion criteria for the biomarker study and the ancillary study
  • Subjects for whom MRI is contraindicated (metal objects in the
  • body, severe claustrophobia, pacemaker, incompatible surgical
  • +9 more not shown
