Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of using a modified virus to transfer a gene called GAD into a region of the brain called the subthalamic nucleus in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease. The overall goal of this approach is to ultimately normalize the flow of information in several brain regions responsible for movement, to ultimately improve function in patients with this disorder. The current study is primarily designed to evaluate the safety of this approach, but patients are also being monitored for possible signs of effectiveness as well.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Sites

1 registered facility, with the per-site recruitment status where the registry publishes one. ClinicalTrials.gov does not publish per-site enrollment counts.

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
