Considerations for Neuroscience Trials with Intrathecal Delivery and Other Methods of Direct CNS Administration

XTalks

One of the biggest challenges with developing therapies to treat CNS disorders is the delivery of systemically administered investigational products (IPs) to the brain, which is limited by the blood-brain barrier. Some methods of direct CNS administration include intrathecal, intraparenchymal and intracerebroventricular (ICV) delivery.
