Largest Phototherapy Trial for Parkinson’s Disease

Largest Phototherapy Trial for Parkinson’s Disease

PhotoPharmics, a pioneer in specialized phototherapy for neurodegenerative diseases, alongside the Center for Health + Technology (CHeT) at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), today announced the initiation of a groundbreaking pivotal trial. The “Celeste Light for PD Trial” (found at lightforpd.com) represents a significant stride in Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment, leveraging innovative Spectramax™ technology through the passive and non-invasive Celeste® phototherapy device.

This pivotal trial will assess the efficacy of Celeste®, the company’s FDA Breakthrough phototherapy device to improve non-motor and motor function and quality of life in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The Celeste device builds on the company’s innovative Spectramax™ technology that has been successfully used in previous human research. This 300-patient phototherapy trial will be the largest trial of its kind.

Kent Savage, President and CEO of PhotoPharmics, underlined the importance and anticipation surrounding the trial. “After overcoming funding challenges and delays caused by the global pandemic, we are thrilled to launch this trial, which holds immense promise for those affected by Parkinson’s Disease,” he stated. The trial follows the FDA’s Breakthrough Device Designation for the Celeste® device in April 2020, acknowledging its potential in treating PD.
