Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The therapeutic management of Parkinson's disease has not yet been fully resolved, with motor fluctuations and levodopa-induced dyskinesia representing special therapeutic challenges. Furthermore, no disease-modifying therapies are currently available. AREAS COVERED: This review focuses on promising novel therapies that are at present under investigation in Phase I or Phase II trials. Special emphasis is placed on gene therapies: vectors, the utilized gene constructs and the side-effects. Moreover, the main risk factors of the gene therapy (the insertional mutagenesis, the uncontrolled overproduction of the expressed protein and the autoimmune and inflammatory responses) are described. EXPERT OPINION: Gene therapies represent a promising field in the therapeutic palette. In order to mitigate the side-effects of this therapy, the developments focus on the vectors applied. Gene therapy appears to be promising candidate for the management of motor complications in advanced stages of Parkinson's disease. In addition to dopamine replacement therapy, this field may also offer a solution for neurogenesis and neuroprotection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
