Vipadenant (; developmental code name BIIB014 and others) is an adenosine A2A receptor antagonist which was under development for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and cancer but was never marketed.[1] [2] [3] [4] It is taken orally. The drug was first described in the scientific literature by 2006.[5] [6] It was under development by Vernalis, Biogen, and Juno Therapeutics. Vipadenant reached phase 2 clinical trials prior to the discontinuation of its development.
