Thanks for the update. I had marked this as one to follow. Dr. LeWitt was my very first MDS...I only left because of his partner, but now wonder if I made the right decision? Hmmm....

I too have been watching this one, so glad to hear Phase II went well. It's interesting that the phase II was not at any of the facilities one would expect, like Duke, Vanderbilt, Baylor, etc. Wonder why, anyone know how they choose the sites for these trials?

" In the Neurologix therapy, an ultra-thin wire is inserted through the skull and passes through brain tissue to reach the subthalamic area. The gene, carried by a harmless virus, journeys into brain cells to ramp up production of the chemical GABA, which limits excess activity to reduce abnormal movements."

PD is charecterised as Dopamine defficiency illness. This new treatment proves to me that PD is much more than that and treatment based on only dopamine enhacement is doomed to failure in the long term. This is IMHO.
