  • Neurodegenerative disorders are a group of related human diseases that share a common pathophysiological feature: progressive degeneration of selective neuronal populations over time. These neurodegenerative disorders include, but are not limited to, Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Lewy body disease and related movement disorders. Each of these disorders has its own unique clinical aspects, including age of onset, time course of progression, neurological signs and symptoms, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and sensitivity to known therapeutic agents. Furthermore, the pathophysiological basis of each of these disorders is caused by a genetic mechanism that is unique to each disorder (Non-Patent Document 1).
  • Non-Patent Documents 4, 5 Although most existing treatments, including antipsychotics and antidepressants, are often effective in these patients, they are very poorly tolerated (Non-Patent Document 6).
  • available Parkinson's disease treatments, including L-dopa and dopamine agonists are generally effective, but cause the appearance of severe treatment-limiting side effects that cannot be addressed by pharmacological therapy at present.
