Brain cell injection study for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment for Parkinson's disease where special cells are injected directly into the brain. It aims to reduce 'off' time and improve movement control for people who have had Parkinson's for over 5 years and take levodopa but still experience daily complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Between 55 and 75 years old
- Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease for more than 5 years
- Currently taking levodopa but have 'off' periods or involuntary movements (dyskinesia)
- Experience at least 3 hours of 'off' time each day
- Have moderate to advanced Parkinson's (Hoehn and Yahr stage 3 or 4)
- Show at least 30% improvement in movement tests after taking Parkinson's medication
- Must not have had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery or certain other brain procedures
- Must not have certain other medical conditions like epilepsy, stroke history, or autoimmune disorders

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 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 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.
