The Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of NouvNeu001 for Early-onset Parkinson's Disease

November 4, 2024 updated by: iRegene Therapeutics Co., Ltd.

A Phase I Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of NouvNeu001 Injection in the Treatment of Early-onset Parkinson's Disease

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety of NouvNeu001 injection in Early-onset Parkinson's Disease (EOPD) patients. It will also learn about the effects of NouvNeu001 treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are:

What medical problems do participants have when transplanting NouvNeu001 into bilateral putamen using stereotactic neurosurgery? Does injection of NouvNeu001 improve the motor function and non-motor function in participants?

Participants will:

Be injectioned the NouvNeu001 into bilateral putamen using stereotactic neurosurgery.

Take immunosuppressants to prevent potential immune rejection for 24 to 36 weeks.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Enrollment to 96 weeks post-transplant.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Motor Function and Non-motor Function
Time Frame: Baseline to 48 weeks and 96 weeks post-transplant

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
