Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 35 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of bilateral idiopathic Parkinson's Disease of at least 5 years duration since diagnosis with motor fluctuations, despite adequate oral antiparkinsonian therapy.
  • Diagnosis of moderate to severe Parkinson's Disease based on clinical rating scales.
  • Males or nonpregnant females 35-75 years of age, inclusive.
  • Stable medication requirements, and clear response to antiparkinsonian medications during the 60-day eligibility evaluation period.
  • No conditions that would render the subject unsuitable for surgery, or that would interfere with any of the assessments of safety or efficacy in this trial.
  • Subject's informed consent prior to the performance of any study-specific procedure.

Who cannot join

  • A history of any clinically significant medical, psychiatric, or laboratory abnormality for which participation in the study would pose a safety risk to the subject.
  • History of treatment of Parkinson's disease by any procedure involving intracranial surgery or implantation of a device.
  • MRI of the brain within 12 months before the anticipated dosing procedure that indicates the presence of an abnormality that may interfere with the assessments of safety or efficacy or would, in the judgment of the investigator, present a surgical risk to the subject.
  • Any disorder that precludes a surgical procedure or alters wound healing.
  • A score of less than or equal to 25 on the Folstein Mini-Mental examination performed during the eligibility evaluation period.
  • Chemotherapy, cytotoxic therapy, or immunotherapy within 6 weeks prior to CERE-120 administration.
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Vaccinations within 30 days prior to CERE-120 administration.
  • History, within two years before the anticipated dosing procedure, of drug or alcohol abuse.
  • Treatment with nonantiparkinsonian agents that may affect symptoms of Parkinson's disease within 60 days before the anticipated dosing procedure.
  • Any medical disability that would interfere with the assessment of safety and efficacy in this trial or would compromise the ability of the subject to undergo study procedures (e.g. MRI, PET) or to give informed consent.
  • History of prior gene transfer therapy.
  • Treatment with an investigational agent within 60 days before the anticipated dosing procedure.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-Label Study of CERE-120 (Adeno-Associated Virus Serotype 2 [AAV2]-Neurturin[NTN] to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of Intrastriatal Delivery to Subjects With Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease

This is a Phase I dose escalating open-label study designed to assess the safety, tolerability and biologic activity of an in vivo AAV2 mediated delivery of the gene encoding NTN (CERE-120).

Twelve (up to 18) subjects will receive one of two open-label doses of CERE-120 via bilateral stereotactic injections targeting the putaminal region of the brain. Subjects will be enrolled in one of two cohorts, a low-dose cohort of six subjects followed by a high dose cohort of six subjects.

The design of this study is such that the primary objective, the evaluation of safety and tolerability, will be assessed by frequent observations for adverse events, clinical laboratory test results, imaging (MRI), neuropsychometric testing, and evaluations of disease status.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CERE-120: AAV2-NTN in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Sangamo Therapeutics at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00252850, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Nov 2022.
