Two Parkinson’s patients treated with AXO-Lenti-PD, an investigative gene therapy, in an ongoing clinical trial continue to show improvement 12 months later, Axovant, the therapy’s developer, said in a release.

These findings at one year after treatment are important because this timepoint allows for a better assessment of therapy durability, and a more assured differentiation between placebo effects and therapeutic response, the company added.
