NLX-P101 Gene Therapy Reduces Movement Impairment in Parkinson’s Patients

NLX-P101 Gene Therapy Reduces Movement Impairment in Parkinson’s Patients

Posted by Umar on March 17, 2011 · View Comments

A new gene therapy that is called NLX-P101 is found to dramatically reduce movement impairment in Parkinson’s patients. The approach introduces a gene into the brain to normalize chemical signaling. These findings were made by a Phase 2 study published in the journal Lancet Neurology. The study is the first successful randomized, double-blind clinical trial of a gene therapy for Parkinson’s [...]
