Treating Parkinson's Disease Through Transplantation of Autologous Stem Cell-Derived Dopaminergic Neurons: This study is about testing the safety of putting special cells, called dopaminergic progenitor cells, into the brains of people with Parkinson's Disease. These cells come from the participant's own skin cells. The process is called autologous transplantation. It means the cells used come from the same person who receives them. The cells are put into a brain area called the putamen under general anesthesia, which means you are fully asleep during the procedure. Participants will be followed for 2 years to make sure the procedure is safe. This involves regular doctor check-ups and scans like CT and MRI to look at the brain.

  • The study lasts for 2 years with regular follow-up visits.
  • Participants must be willing to follow all study procedures.
  • There are specific health criteria participants must meet.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
