Stem cell therapy for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 45 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease for at least 5 years.
- Your Parkinson's symptoms improve with levodopa medication, but you still have at least 3 hours of “off” time each day when symptoms return.
- You have not had brain surgery for Parkinson's before (like deep brain stimulation).
- You are otherwise healthy enough for surgery, with no recent stroke, heart issues, or uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes.

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.
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 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 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 early-stage trial tests a new stem cell treatment called NCR201 for people with Parkinson's. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and might help improve symptoms.
