Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease
  • Disease duration of at least 5 years or more
  • Adequate duration of levodopa therapy
  • Modified Hoehn and Yahr Staging of at least 2.5 in the OFF state
  • Candidate for surgical intervention because of disabling motor complications.
  • UPDRS Part III (total motor) score ≥ 25 and a maximum of 60 in the OFF state.
  • Unequivocal responsiveness to dopaminergic therapy.
  • Stable Parkinson's symptoms and medication regimen for at least 4 weeks prior to screening examination.
  • Ability to comprehend and sign the informed consent.
  • Normal Laboratory values prior to surgery.
  • Neutralizing AAV2 antibody titer ≤ 1:1200
  • Ability to travel to study visits alone or able to designate a caregiver.
  • Subject agrees to defer any neurological surgery, including deep brain stimulation, until after completing the 12 month study visit (unless recommended by study neurologist).
  • Subject agrees to not participate in any other therapeutic intervention study for 12 months after surgery.
  • Subject agrees to not have any vaccinations within 30 days of surgery.

You may not qualify if:

  • Atypical or secondary parkinsonism, including but not limited to symptoms believed to be due to trauma, brain tumor, infection, cerebrovascular disease, other neurological disease, or to drugs, chemicals or toxins.
  • Presence of dementia as defined by a Mattis Dementia Rating Scale-Second Edition (MDRS-2) of less than 130 at screening.
  • Presence or history of psychosis, with the exception of mild, benign hallucinations believed in the judgment of the investigators to be related to Parkinson's medications.
  • Presence of severe depression as measured by Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) \> 28 or a history of a major affective disorder within 5 years of screening examination.
  • Current suicidal ideation or suicide attempt within 5 years of screening examination.
  • History of substance abuse within 2 years of screening examination.
  • Brain imaging abnormalities in the striatum or other regions that would substantially increase risk of surgery.
  • Contraindication to MRI and/or gadoteridol.
  • Coagulopathy or inability to temporarily stop any anticoagulation or antiplatelet prior to surgery.
  • Prior brain surgery including deep brain stimulation, infusion therapies or any other brain surgery.
  • Prior gene transfer.
  • History of stroke, poorly controlled or significant cardiovascular disease, diabetes or any other acute or chronic medical condition.
  • History of malignancy other than treated carcinoma in situ within three years of screening evaluation.
  • Clinically apparent or laboratory-detected infection.
  • Prior or current treatment with any investigational agent within 2 months of screening evaluation.
  • +6 more criteria
