A Study of AAV2-GDNF in Adults With Moderate Parkinson's Disease (REGENERATE-PD)

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Sham Surgery-controlled Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Intraputaminal AAV2-GDNF in the Treatment of Adults With Moderate Stage Parkinson's Disease

The objective of this randomized, surgically controlled, double-blinded, Phase 2 study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AAV2-GDNF delivered to the putamen in subjects with moderate Parkinson's Disease.
