Brain gene therapy tested for devastating neurological disease

NCT ID NCT04680065

Summary

This is a very early-stage safety study testing a new gene therapy for multiple system atrophy (MSA), a rare and progressive brain disorder. The therapy, called AAV2-GDNF, is delivered directly into a part of the brain called the putamen. The main goal is to see if the treatment is safe and well-tolerated in 9 participants, while also checking for any early signs that it might help control symptoms.
