Brain injection aims to halt devastating dementia

NCT ID NCT04747431

Summary

This early-stage study is testing a one-time gene therapy called PBFT02 for adults with specific genetic forms of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The therapy is delivered via a single injection into the spinal fluid, aiming to deliver a working copy of a missing or faulty gene to the brain. The main goals are to check if the treatment is safe and to see if it can increase a key protein and potentially slow the disease's progression over a 5-year follow-up period.
