Brief Summary

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by high morbidity due to the limited regenerative capacity of dopaminergic neurons in the brain. Current drug treatments primarily manage symptoms but do not halt or reverse neuronal loss. Cellular replacement therapy has emerged as a potential strategy to restore dopaminergic function and address the underlying neuronal deficits. This study aims to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of transplanting dopaminergic neurons into the brain to improve motor function and quality of life in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence and servility of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Incidence of adverse event (AE), serious adverse event(SAE) is defined as the composite of number and severity of adverse events, regardless of causality, clinical laboratory abnormalities, clinical meaningful changes from baseline

    From baseline to 12 months post surgery

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Changes in motor function

    From baseline to 12 months post surgery

  • Changes in the Hoehn and Yahr scale

    From baseline to 12 months post surgery

  • Changes in quality of life (QoL)

    From baseline to 12 months post surgery

  • Change in PD medication usage

    From baseline to 12 months post surgery

  • 18-F DAT PET uptake

    Baseline, 6 and 12 months post surgery
