Clinical trials testing the trophic factors GDNF and NTRN for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease have had mixed results. Analysis of the differences between the successful and unsuccessful trials strongly suggests that efficacious therapeutic approaches require controlled, site-specific delivery of trophic factors using methodology to optimize target tissue distribution.
