Brief Summary
This study is being done to test a new way of delivering AB-1005 into the brain. The goal is to make the procedure easier and quicker to perform, while providing similar amounts of drug to the part of...
Detailed Description
Participants will receive a one-time infusion of AB-1005 directly into the putamen on each side of the brain. This is done during a surgical procedure under general anesthesia. The drug is delivered u...
