The completion of all participant activity is a critical step in the Celeste® program.

The Light for PD trial was a fully remote, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial evaluating Celeste in individuals living with Parkinson's disease. The trial enrolled 351 participants across the United States. With all participant activity now complete, the company will proceed with database lock and final data analysis.

PhotoPharmics will present topline results from the Light for PD trial to healthcare professionals at the World Parkinson Congress (WPC), taking place May 25–27, 2026, in Phoenix. The presentation is scheduled for May 26 at 7:45 AM in Room 224. The company will also exhibit at Booth #520 throughout the congress.

PhotoPharmics Announces Publication of Phase 2 Clinical Trial Results in Neurotherapeutics and Its Role in the Company’s Phase 3/Pivotal Clinical Trial https://photopharmics.com/photopharmics-announces-publication-of-phase-2-clinical-trial-results-in-neurotherapeutics/ Tue, 20 Jan 2026 13:00:35 +0000 https://photopharmics.com/?p=6444 PhotoPharmics, Inc. today announced the peer-reviewed publication of results from its Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial evaluating Celeste®, an investigational photo-neuromodulation device, in people living with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The study has been published in the journal Neurotherapeutics. Celeste® has been designated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a Breakthrough Device.

The publication marks an important scientific milestone for the Company and contributes to the growing body of clinical evidence examining circadian-effective photo-neuromodulation in PD. The Phase 2 findings informed the design of the Company’s ongoing Phase 3/Pivotal trial, which is fully enrolled and expected to complete in Q2 2026.

The Phase 2 study evaluated daily photo-neuromodulation delivered via a patented spectral band of light frequencies designed to engage circadian pathways.  The trial assessed both motor and non-motor features in individuals with PD receiving standard-of-care therapies. Celeste was well tolerated over the six-month period, with no serious adverse events reported.
