Findings show that clinical benefits after gene therapy with STN AAV2-GAD in PD patients persist at 12 months, with baseline metabolism in the prefrontal cortex correlated with changes in motor UPDRS scores; the higher the baseline PFC metabolism, the better the clinical outcome.

The efficacy outcomes are encouraging and indicate that the AAV vector-mediated gene transfer of AADC may benefit advanced PD patients, and a similar approach, delivering A AV vector carrying A ADC gene into the putamen ameliorated the symptoms in children with AADc deficiency.

The background for this trial includes a sizable literature of animal studies that found that the neurotrophic factors GDNF and its analogue neurturin protect dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta when exposed to neurotoxins such as 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6tetrahydropyridine (MPTP).

Parkinson's disease gene therapy has moved from purely animal research three decades ago, to initial human studies two decades ago to many applications moving into late stage trials, currently and recent successes and promising new technology should only accelerate the advance of gene therapy into active clinical practice.

The findings suggest that STN AAV-GAD is well tolerated and potentially effective in a primate model of PD, and changes in motor cortical glucose utilization observed after gene therapy are consistent with the modulation of metabolic brain networks associated with this disorder.

Using adeno-associated viral vector–mediated somatic cell gene transfer, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), the enzyme that catalyzes synthesis of the neurotransmitter GABA, is expressed in excitatory glutamatergic neurons of the STN in rats, resulting in strong neuroprotection of nigral dopamine neurons and rescue of the parkinsonian behavioral phenotype.

PET data suggests that modulation of abnormal network activity underlies the clinical outcome observed after unilateral STN AAV-GAD gene therapy, and network biomarkers may be used as physiological assays in early-phase trials of experimental therapies for PD and other neurodegenerative disease.

Patients with Parkinson's disease had similar improvement in motor function after either pallidal or subthalamic stimulation, and nonmotor factors may reasonably be included in the selection of surgical target for deep-brain stimulation.
