Goal
Assess intranasal AlloEx exosome safety
Phase
PHASE1
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
The Foundation for Orthopaedics and Regenerative Medicine
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Enrollment
20 participants
Conditions
Parkinson Disease
Interventions
AlloEx

Plain-Language Summary

Goal: To check whether donor umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes delivered through the nose are safe and well tolerated in people with Parkinson's, with the longer-term aim of seeing if brain delivery of these signals might help. Approach: The treatment uses purified exosomes, tiny packets of proteins and regulatory RNAs from stem cells, given intranasally to reach the brain where they may reduce neuroinflammation and support neuron health; it is an experimental add-on approach and not a replacement for levodopa, and no specific drug interactions are reported. Eligibility: About 20 adults with a diagnosed Parkinson's disease who can give informed consent are being sought, excluding people with active infection or cancer, chronic organ failure, pregnancy, anticoagulant use, prior organ transplant, ongoing drug abuse, sulfur hypersensitivity, or other medical issues that could raise safety concerns.
