Doctors test gene therapy to protect brain cells in Parkinson's patients

NCT ID NCT04167540

Summary

This early-stage study is testing the safety of a one-time gene therapy for Parkinson's disease. The therapy aims to deliver a protective protein (GDNF) directly into a specific brain region to support the cells affected by the disease. The study involves 11 participants with Parkinson's and will monitor them for side effects and any changes in their symptoms.
