Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and potential benefits of CERE-120 in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.


Clinical Trial Description

CERE-120 is an experimental drug that consists of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) that was engineered to carry the human gene for neurturin, a neurotrophic (growth) factor. Similar to other growth factors (such as GDNF), neurturin is capable of restoring function and protecting brain cells from further damage. The virus used in CERE-120 is not known to cause disease in people.

CERE-120 is delivered directly to the brain cells most affected in Parkinson's disease - the dopamine producing neurons. CERE-120 is injected during brain surgery. Once in place, CERE-120 continuously produces neurturin.

During the first, open-label, part of the study (Phase 1), subjects with Parkinson's disease received CERE-120 at one of two dose levels. In the second part of the study (Phase 2), subjects were randomized 1:1 to receive CERE-120 or a "sham" surgery where no medication was injected.

Participants in both phases of the study were followed for up to five years after surgery. ;
