Parkinson's cell transplant trial using your own cells
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether transplanting special dopamine-producing cells made from a patient's own skin cells can help treat Parkinson's disease. It is for people who have had Parkinson's for at least 5 years and still respond well to medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had Parkinson's disease for at least 5 years and your symptoms improve with medication by at least 30%.
- You are between 55 and 80 years old.
- You have not had any brain surgeries, including deep brain stimulation.
- You have no major memory or thinking problems, and no untreated depression or serious mental health conditions.
- You have no active cancer, serious heart or blood vessel disease, or uncontrolled diabetes.

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 trial tests a new cell treatment for Parkinson's disease. It involves injecting special cells into the brain to see if they can safely replace damaged cells and improve symptoms. It might help people who have had Parkinson's for several years and still respond well to medication.
This trial tests a new treatment made from your own cells to replace damaged brain cells, aiming to improve movement and reduce symptoms. It's for people who have had Parkinson's for at least 4 years and respond well to levodopa.
This trial tests a new cell therapy called NouvNeu001 for Parkinson's disease. It involves a one-time brain surgery to deliver the treatment, and researchers will check if it's safe and helps with symptoms.
This trial tests whether injecting special cells into the brain can improve Parkinson's symptoms. It is for people who have had Parkinson's for at least 5 years, take levodopa but still have times when the medication wears off or causes uncontrolled movements.
This trial tests whether transplanting specially grown cells (DopaCell) into the brain can safely help people with moderate Parkinson's disease whose symptoms aren't well controlled by medication. The cells are intended to produce dopamine, the chemical that Parkinson's affects.
