Stem cells injected into brain to fight Parkinson's: first human test
NCT ID NCT07572071
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests whether transplanting 10 million special nerve cells made from stem cells into the brain is safe for people with moderate Parkinson's disease. Ten participants will receive the cells in a single surgery. The main goal is to check for side effects and see if the procedure is feasible, not yet to prove it works.
