Stem cell therapy for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial uses special stem cells (made from skin or blood cells) to replace damaged brain cells in people with Parkinson's. The goal is to see if these cells can improve movement and reduce symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had Parkinson's disease for at least 5 years.
- You are between 30 and 70 years old.
- Levodopa used to help your symptoms, but now it wears off or doesn't work as well.
- You have not had deep brain stimulation (DBS) or similar brain surgery.
- You have a caregiver who can help with your care and information.

This Phase 1 study tests whether an “autologous” (from your own body) iNSC-DAP stem-cell treatment is safe and may help symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. It is designed mainly to check safety, while also watching for signs of improvement.
This trial tests a new treatment called DSP-1083 for people with Parkinson's disease whose symptoms are not well controlled with standard medications. The study will check if it is safe and if it helps improve movement and daily function.
This early-stage trial tests a new treatment where specialized cells are injected directly into the brain. It is for people with advanced Parkinson's who have been on levodopa for a while and experience 'off' periods or involuntary movements.
This trial tests a new treatment called XS411 for people with early-onset Parkinson's disease (age 50 or younger at diagnosis). It is for those whose motor symptoms are not well controlled with standard medications and who may benefit from a neurosurgical procedure.
This trial tests whether implanting your own stem cells (made into dopamine-producing brain cells) can improve Parkinson's motor symptoms. You would need to be a candidate for brain surgery and have a stable medication routine.
This study tests a new stem cell treatment for Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and may help improve symptoms when current medications stop working well.
