About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety of NouvNeu001 injection in Early-onset Parkinson's Disease (EOPD) patients. It will also learn about the effects of NouvNeu001 treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are:

What medical problems do participants have when transplanting NouvNeu001 into bilateral putamen using stereotactic neurosurgery? Does injection of NouvNeu001 improve the motor function and non-motor function in participants?

Participants will:

Be injectioned the NouvNeu001 into bilateral putamen using stereotactic neurosurgery.

Take immunosuppressants to prevent potential immune rejection for 24 to 36 weeks.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18-70 years old, male or female

Able to understand the rationale of the clinical trial and sign informed consent form (ICF)

Diagnosis of Early-onset Parkinson's Disease in accordance with the MDS clinical diagnostic criteria for Parkinson's disease, and the age of onset was ≤50 years old

Medically suitable for neurosurgery under anesthesia and able to participate in Computed Tomography (CT)/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan.

Disqualifiers

Atypical Parkinsonism

Patients who have had previous pallidotomy, striatal or extrapyramidal surgery or other brain surgery; as well as other surgical procedures that are judged by the investigator to affect patient's participation in this study; Patients with surgical contraindications or other neurosurgical contraindications

Patients who have a previous head CT/MRI examination showing cerebral trauma, vascular malformation, hydrocephalus, brain tumor, etc., and patients who have brain imaging abnormalities in the striatum or other brain areas leading to a significantly increased risk for surgery

Patients with a history of severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Safety and Tolerability

Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs).

Time frame
Enrollment to 96 weeks post-transplant.

Secondary outcomes

1

The Motor Function and Non-motor Function

Changes in Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part I-IV Score from baseline. A higher score indicates more severe symptoms or worse health.

Time frame
Baseline to 48 weeks and 96 weeks post-transplant

Other outcomes

1

Positron Emission Tomography Imaging

Change in uptake value from baseline using positron emission tomography (PET).

Time frame
Baseline to 48 weeks post-transplant.
2

Dopamine Metabolism

Change in the levels of dopamine and its metabolites from baseline.

Time frame
Baseline to 48 weeks post-transplant.
