Phase 1 and Phase 2: Change From Baseline in Motor Examination Part III Total Score in the "Off" Condition for the CERE-120 Group as Compared to the Sham Surgery Control Group at the Last Double-blind Assessment.
Baseline, Months 15, 18, 21 and 24

UPDRS is a tool to evaluate the impact of symptomatic and potential disease modifying treatments. Part III focuses on 14 motor functions, assessing each on a scale from 0 (normal) to 4 (severe) with total score 0 - 56. The 5 Feb 2003 version of the UPDRS Rating was used in this trial. The total score is the sum of 14 motor functions. Change from baseline in total score is reported. The last double blind assessment for each subject is defined as the most recent assessment at the time when the final randomized subject completes the Month 15 Visit. The length of the double-blind follow-up period for each subject ranged from 15 to 24 months, depending on the enrollment rate.

Frequently asked questions about CERE-120: Adeno-Associated Virus Delivery of Neurturin

What is CERE-120 used for?

CERE-120 is an investigational gene therapy being developed for idiopathic Parkinson's disease. It delivers the gene for neurturin, a neurotrophic factor, directly into the brain. It is not approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

Who is developing CERE-120?

CERE-120 is being developed by Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker SGMO. Sangamo is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the therapy in idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

What phase is CERE-120 in?

CERE-120 is in Phase 1 clinical development. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, and no trials are currently active. The program remains investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any use.

What clinical trial has studied CERE-120?

CERE-120 has been evaluated in a single completed Phase 1 trial, NCT00985517, titled Safety and Efficacy of CERE-120 in Subjects With Parkinson's Disease. The trial enrolled 57 participants in the United States and was randomized, double-blind, and sham-controlled.

How does CERE-120 work?

CERE-120 is an adeno-associated virus gene therapy that delivers the gene for neurturin, a neurotrophic factor, to the brain. The goal is to support the survival and function of dopaminergic neurons affected by idiopathic Parkinson's disease. It is administered directly to the brain.
