A Phase 1 Study of Convection-Enhanced Delivery of Intraputaminal AAV2-GDNF in Advanced Parkinson's Disease.
Article in Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundParkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Neurotrophic therapeutic approaches have been limited in part by incomplete delivery to the putamen. We developed image-guided convection-enhanced delivery with real-time monitoring to improve intraputaminal distribution of neurotrophic gene therapy.
objectivesTo evaluate the 5-year safety and tolerability of bilateral putaminal delivery of adeno-associated virus serotype 2 encoding glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (AAV2-GDNF), and to describe exploratory long-term clinical outcomes.
methodsThis was a single-center, open-label, phase 1, dose-escalation study in adults with advanced PD. Thirteen participants received bilateral putaminal infusions across three dose cohorts (six low-dose, six medium-dose, one high-dose) and were followed for 5 years. Adverse events, including serious adverse events, were collected, and their relationship to the study agent was determined. Longitudinal clinical outcomes were analyzed with a mixed-effects model.
resultsAcross follow-up, 562 adverse events were recorded; 45 were considered possibly or probably related to the study drug. The 13 serious adverse events that occurred were not attributed to the study drug. One participant died 45 months after infusion from aspiration pneumonia following cervical spine surgery at an outside institution. The study drug had a mean putaminal coverage of 26% ± 10%. Exploratory clinical measures did not change significantly between baseline and final follow-up.
conclusionsBilateral putaminal neurotrophic gene therapy delivered with real-time image guidance was well tolerated over 5 years, without protocol-defined stopping events. © 2026 The Author(s).
