A Study to Evaluate the Safety of Neural Stem Cells in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

General Information

Summary This study will evaluate the safety of an investigational cell transplantation therapy, ISC-hpNSC, in patients with Parkinson's disease. All patients will receive the therapy, which consists of human neural stem cells. Three dose levels will be examined in the study.
Description ISC-hpNSC is a cellular therapeutic consisting of human parthenogenetic neural stem cells (hpNSC). ISC-hpNSC will be injected intracerebrally to the striatum and substantia nigra of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The study will enroll 4 patients for cell injection at each of three different doses. A total of 12 patients with moderate to severe PD will be treated. Each patient receives a single dose. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of the cell transplantation.
