Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of treating Parkinson's disease in humans is disclosed, wherein glial cell-line derive neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is chronically administered directly to one or both putamen of a human in need of treatment thereof via convection-enhanced infusion using at least one implantable pump and at least one catheter. In one aspect of the present invention the GDNF is infused directly into one or both putamen through one or more indwelling intraparenchymal mutitiport brain catheters connected to one or moreimplantable pumps wherein the flow rate is pulsed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method of treating Parkinson's disease in a human that comprises administering to a putamen of a human in need thereof via convection-enhanced infusion using a catheter implanted in the putamen providing localized and targeted delivery into the putamen a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of a glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) protein and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, excipient, or diluent, wherein the…
