Parkinson's disease is characterized by profound motor deficits that result mainly as a consequence of degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. No current therapy slows or halts disease progression. Neurturin (NTN) and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor have potent neuroprotective and neurorestorative effects on dopaminergic neurons, but their use in treating Parkinson's disease has been limited by significant delivery obstacles. In this study, we examined the long-term expression, bioactivity, and safety/tolerability of CERE-120, an adeno-associated virus type 2 vector encoding human NTN, after bilateral stereotactic delivery to the striatum of nonhuman primates.
