Gene therapy for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new gene therapy called ZR001 for people with Parkinson's disease. It involves a one-time surgery to inject the therapy into the brain, and researchers want to see if it's safe and can help improve movement symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- You have had Parkinson's disease for at least 5 years, but less than 15 years.
- Your symptoms and medications have been stable for the last 3 months.
- You are willing to stay in the hospital for a surgery that delivers a gene therapy drug directly into the brain.
- You have not had gene therapy or cell therapy before, and you are not allergic to clozapine.

This early-stage trial tests a new gene therapy delivered directly into a specific brain region (the subthalamic nucleus) using stereotactic surgery. It's designed for people with advanced Parkinson's disease who no longer respond well to standard medications or have severe side effects.
This study tests a new gene therapy called LY-N001, which is injected directly into the brain. It is for people with moderate to advanced Parkinson's disease who have a specific genetic change in the GBA1 gene. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and can help improve symptoms.
This trial tests a gene therapy (AAV2-hAADC) delivered directly into the brain to help people with advanced Parkinson's disease whose medication doesn't work as well as it used to. The goal is to improve the brain's ability to make dopamine and reduce daily 'off' time.
This study tests a new gene therapy (chemogenetics) to see if it is safe and how well it works for people with Parkinson's disease. The treatment involves a one-time infusion of a modified virus into the brain to help control movement symptoms.
This trial tests a gene therapy for people with advanced Parkinson's disease (at least 10 years since diagnosis). It uses a special infusion to deliver treatment directly into the brain. The goal is to see if it can improve motor symptoms.
This trial tests a new gene therapy called BBM-P002 for Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable, and may help people with moderate to advanced Parkinson's who have had the condition for at least 5 years.
