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 was studied in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in the United States that enrolled 57 participants aged 35 years and older. It is not an approved treatment.

Who is developing CERE-120?

CERE-120 is being developed by Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc., which trades under the ticker SGMOQ. The company is the sponsor associated with the CERE-120 gene therapy program for idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

What phase is CERE-120 in?

CERE-120 has been studied in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for idiopathic Parkinson's disease. That trial, NCT00985517, is completed, and no CERE-120 trials are currently active. CERE-120 remains an investigational gene therapy rather than an approved product.

What clinical trial was conducted for CERE-120?

CERE-120 was evaluated in trial NCT00985517, titled Safety and Efficacy of CERE-120 in Subjects With Parkinson's Disease. The Phase 1/2 study was completed in the United States, enrolled 57 participants with idiopathic Parkinson's disease, and was randomized, double-blind, and sham-controlled.

What does CERE-120 target?

CERE-120 is designed to deliver neurturin, a neurotrophic factor, using an adeno-associated virus vector. The gene therapy approach aims to provide sustained neurturin expression in the brain of patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease through viral vector-mediated gene delivery.
