The steps necessary to translate promising new biological therapies to the clinic are poorly documented. For gene therapy there are unique aspects that need to be addressed in biodistribution studies. Notably, spread of the vector beyond the intended target cells or tissue may result in persistent unwanted biological activity or unpredictable biological events, thus it is critical to evaluate risks associated with viral vector-mediated gene transfer prior to embarking on human clinical trials. Here we present a rodent study comprising of a comprehensive assessment of vector biodistribution through the brain, blood and major organs of rats injected into the subthalamic nucleus with recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) expressing glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). In addition, behavioral and histological analyses were also performed. AAV genomes were not detected in blood or CSF, and did not disseminate to organs outside of the brain in the majority of animals. In the brain, an average 97.3% of AAV2-GAD genomes were restricted to the area of the ipsilateral STN. There were no discernable effects of AAV2-GAD on general health and behavioral assessment of the animals did not reveal any alteration in general behavior, exploration, locomotion or motor symmetry. This study met FDA requirements, in addition to efficacy and toxicity studies in rodents and non-human primates, to support and supplement a Phase II clinical trial for gene transfer of AAV2-GAD to the human STN for the potential therapy of Parkinson’s disease.
