Inclusion criteria
. Males and females, 40 to 75 years of age (inclusive)
. Diagnosis of PD, consistent with United Kingdom Brain Bank Criteria
. Motor responsiveness to dopaminergic therapy, demonstrated by improvement in Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS III score)
. Disease duration from diagnosis of ≥4 years
. An average of ≥3 hours of OFF time (that is, periods of insufficient control of motor PD symptoms) per day over 3 consecutive days as confirmed by the PD Diary
. A stable, optimal regimen of Parkinson's medications including levodopa for at least weeks prior to screening evaluation. Participants must have a minimum duration of levodopa treatment of ≥1 year
. In the judgment of the Investigator, stable Parkinson's features and symptoms for at least 4 weeks prior to screening evaluation
. Agrees to defer any elective neurological surgery, including deep brain stimulation or ablation procedure for PD, levodopa or apomorphine infusion, or the addition of new dopaminergic formulations until after the study is completed, if medically appropriate
Exclusion criteria
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
. Atypical or secondary parkinsonism, including but not limited to symptoms believed to be due to trauma, brain tumor, infection, cerebrovascular disease, other neurological disease, or to drugs, chemicals, or toxins, as determined by the Investigator
. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score \<26
. New or unstable psychiatric conditions (psychosis, depression) within 1 year of screening
. Brain imaging abnormalities in the striatum or other regions that would substantially increase risk of surgery
. Contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or gadolinium-based contrast agents
. Prior brain surgery, infusion therapies or planned treatments that could complicate the study procedure or negatively impact study evaluations as determined from participant interview, screening MRI, or medical records
. History of malignancy other than treated carcinoma in situ within 3 years of screening evaluation
. Prior gene transfer, current treatment with any investigational agent (drug or device) within 2 months of screening evaluation, or participation or plans to participate in another research study
