Announces Positive Interim Results Of Landmark Gene Therapy Clinical Trial For Patients With Parkinson's Disease

Investigators Report Safety Findings and Statistically Significant Improvements in Clinical Measures of Movement, PET Scans Data Presented at 19th Annual Symposia on the Etiology, Pathogenesis and Treatment of Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders on September 25 in San Diego Neurologix, Inc. (OTCBB:NRGX - News) today announced positive interim results of its landmark gene therapy clinical trial for patients with Parkinson's disease. Neurologix's 12-patient, dose-escalating Phase I trial is the world's first study to use a viral vector (the non-pathogenic adeno-associated virus, or AAV) for the treatment of an adult neurological disease. In the Neurologix-funded trial, the vector was injected into a specific target site in the brain in order to transfer a gene to treat Parkinson's disease. The gene encodes glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), an enzyme which synthesizes the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, (gamma)-aminobutyric acid (GABA).Neurologix, Inc.
