Trial ID
NCT07102342
Official Title
A Phase 1 Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Feasibility, and Preliminary Efficacy of NouvNeu001 in Patients With Advanced Parkinson's Disease.
Goal
Improve walking with dopaminergic cells
Phase
PHASE1
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
iRegene Therapeutics Co., Ltd.
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Enrollment
5 participants
Conditions
Parkinson Disease
Interventions
Human Dopaminergic Progenitor Cells

Plain-Language Summary

Goal: to test whether transplanting human dopaminergic progenitor cells can be safely tolerated and might restore dopamine in the brain enough to improve motor symptoms and reduce disabling OFF time in people with advanced Parkinson's. Approach: NouvNeu001 are lab-grown precursor cells placed into the brain by neurosurgery so they can mature into dopamine-producing neurons and supplement the effects of levodopa, participants stay on stable dopaminergic meds so investigators can watch safety and any added benefit. Eligibility: seeking people 30 to 75 years old with 4 to 20 years of PD, moderate to advanced motor disability (Hoehn-Yahr OFF 2.5,4, MDS-UPDRS-III >35) who show a clear levodopa response and are medically fit for brain surgery. This is a small phase 1 study enrolling about five participants, focused first on safety and feasibility with 12 months of follow-up.
