Inclusion criteria
✓. Age ≥18 years and ≤70 years, male or female.
✓. The subject understands and agrees to comply with the study procedures, voluntarily participates, and signs the informed consent form.
✓. Primary Parkinson's disease (meeting the diagnostic criteria of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society \[MDS\]), and the subject has previously undergone deep brain stimulation (DBS) or deep brain nucleus lesioning surgery.
✓. With DBS turned off, the MDS Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III (MDS-UPDRS-III) motor examination score in the "off" state is ≥30; and the levodopa challenge test is positive (improvement rate in UPDRS-III score ≥30%).
✓. Able to undergo neurosurgery under anesthesia, and able to undergo CT/MRI/PET examinations.
✓. At screening, with DBS turned on, the modified Hoehn and Yahr stage (Appendix 3) in the "off" state is between 2.5 and 4 (inclusive), and with DBS turned on, the daily "off" time is not less than 2 hours.
✓. Has received stable doses of anti-Parkinson's disease medications for at least 4 weeks prior to administration.
✓. Acceptable laboratory values obtained during the screening period and prior to administration (Day 0): Absolute neutrophil count ≥ lower limit of normal (LLN); White blood cell count ≥ LLN; Platelet count ≥ LLN; AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN; Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN; eGFR ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73 m².
Exclusion criteria
✕. Atypical or secondary parkinsonism confirmed by the investigator to be caused by medication, metabolic disorders, or other conditions.
What they're measuring
1
Incidence and severity of Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE V5.0
✕. Presence of persistent active infection in the previous brain surgery area, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, or unhealed wounds; presence of implanted device malfunction, electrode displacement, etc., which in the investigator's judgment poses a significant risk to the subject or affects evaluation; contraindications to MRI (e.g., intracranial implants, cochlear implants, cardiac pacemaker/defibrillator, etc.); any contraindications to surgery or anesthesia as assessed by the investigator; or other surgical conditions that the investigator believes may affect participation in this study.
✕. Significant abnormalities on cranial CT/MRI, including but not limited to: cerebral vascular malformation, vasogenic edema, brain tumor, more than 10 microbleeds, basal ganglia cerebral infarction lesions, etc., which in the investigator's judgment significantly increase surgical risk.
✕. History of severe cardiovascular disease within 1 year prior to screening, including but not limited to: severe heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III or IV, or left ventricular ejection fraction \<35% by any method), unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, clinically significant conduction abnormalities (e.g., unstable atrial fibrillation), etc., which in the investigator's judgment may increase surgical risk or render the subject unsuitable for participation.
✕. History of malignant tumor, or receipt of cell therapy or gene therapy within 2 years prior to screening.
✕. Active disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) or significant bleeding tendency within 3 months prior to signing informed consent, or inability to discontinue antiplatelet or other anticoagulant medications for at least 5 days before surgery.
✕. Long-term (≥14 days) and high-dose (prednisone ≥20 mg/day or equivalent dose of other glucocorticoids) use of glucocorticoids or immunosuppressants (excluding topical use) within 3 months prior to signing informed consent.
✕. History of psychiatric illness that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the subject unsuitable for participation; or history of suicidal ideation or suicidal attempt (including actual attempt, interrupted attempt, or aborted attempt) within the past year or currently.
