| Scientific title | |
| Study objectives | The open-labelled trial has to date established the long term safety and therapeutic benefits of chronic intraputaminal GDNF infusion in the five patients with Parkinson's disease. This trial aims to assess the clinical effect of unilateral randomised double-blinded placebo controlled cessation of GDNF for 6-months. Unilateral cessation of GDNF infusion may result in either contralateral stability or a reduction of the improved clinical state. |
