Study Summary

This trial is testing a new medication for people with Parkinson's disease who have trouble with their medication working consistently.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 40-75 with Parkinson's Disease diagnosed at least 4 years ago, experiencing poor motor control for over 3 hours daily. They must respond to Parkinson's medication and not have had brain surgery or plan to during the study. Individuals with psychiatric conditions, certain brain imaging abnormalities, or recent cancer are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The RESTORE-1 trial is testing VY-AADC02 against a sham (placebo) surgery in individuals with Parkinson’s Disease who experience significant fluctuations in their motor abilities. The goal is to evaluate the safety of this new potential treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, typical risks may include those associated with surgical procedures such as infection, bleeding, and reactions to anesthesia; plus any unique risks from the gene therapy used.
