What are the potential risks and benefits?
This gene therapy may help to slow the progression of Parkinson’s with GBA1 genetic variants, but this is not guaranteed and there are risks to consider.
Benefits: If effective, this gene therapy may slow the progression of Parkinson’s with GBA1 genetic variants. However, results cannot be guaranteed. If the effects wear off, participants may return to their previous treatments but will not be able to receive an additional dose of the gene therapy as part of this clinical trial. By participating, you will contribute valuable information that could help improve future treatment options for people with Parkinson’s with GBA1 genetic variants.
Risks: All clinical trials involve some level of risk, and individual risks may vary. People who participate in this clinical trial may not be eligible for other gene therapy clinical trials in the future. Researchers take every measure to ensure safety, but each clinical trial carries its own unique risks.
