Previous open-label trials testing glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands in Parkinson disease have shown promising clinical effects.

A new randomized placebo-controlled trial of intraputamenal delivery of GDNF designed to resolve this conundrum has again failed to do just that.
