About this trial
This study is being done to test a new way of delivering AB-1005 into the brain. The goal is to make the procedure easier and quicker to perform, while providing similar amounts of drug to the part of the brain that needs treatment.
Technical (Stage 0) To test if the new delivery method (prefrontal surgical approach) can consistently deliver AB-1005 to the putamen using MRI monitoring.
Technical (Stage 1) To test if the new delivery method (PIA-based infusion) can consistently deliver AB-1005 to the putamen using brain imaging by MRI.
Technical (Stage 2) To confirm the new delivery method works without brain imaging by MRI, using standard operating room tools including brain imaging by CT.
Safety (Stage 1 and 2) To assess the safety and tolerability of the new delivery method for AB-1005 up to 6 months after surgery

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Amount of the putamen covered by the drug at the end of infusion, assessed by MRI
Investigate the use of PIA-based infusion for consistent intraputaminal administration of AB-1005 via CED under iMRI monitoring
Secondary outcomes
Duration of surgical procedure
Reduce the time the surgical procedure is performed
Change in total volumetric putaminal coverage within approximately 60-120 min from end of infusion
Accuracy of cannula tip placement at targeted first and last infusion stops in putamen
