NCT ID NCT07533591

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new gene therapy for Parkinson's disease. Six participants will receive a virus-based treatment injected into a specific brain area during surgery. Afterward, they take a drug to control abnormal brain activity and improve movement. The main goal is to check safety, not yet to prove it works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
STP-001 (gene therapy with AAV vector and clozapine)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new way to control Parkinson's motor symptoms without long-term medication side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small trial (6 people) focused on safety, not proof of effectiveness. The approach is experimental and may not work or could cause side effects like brain inflammation or movement problems.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age range: 40 - 70 years (inclusive), gender not restricted; * Diagnosed with primary Parkinson's disease, with H\&Y grade ranging from 4 to 5; * Disease duration of at least 5 years; * Response to levodopa treatment lasting for at least 12 months; * Score of the third part of the MDS-UPDRS Part III ≥ 35; * Improvement rate of the Madopar challenge test ≥ 30%; * Stable clinical symptoms and drug treatment for at least 4 weeks before screening; * Capable of understanding and voluntarily signing the informed consent form; * Participants agree to postpone any neurological surgery, including deep brain stimulation, until the completion of 12-month follow-up; * The efficacy of dopamine drugs has significantly decreased, or there are obvious motor complications, or severe drug side effects; * There are no acute adverse reactions to the prescribed olanzapine dose; * Good compliance and willing to complete all the follow-up as stipulated in this protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * Has a past history of brain surgery for Parkinson's disease, such as deep brain stimulation, or other abnormal brain imaging findings; * Hamilton Depression Scale score ≥ 20; * Hamilton Anxiety Scale score ≥ 14 * Has a history of brain injury or central nervous system infection; * MoCA cognitive impairment score \< 26 points, and MMSE dementia rating scale cognitive impairment score ≤ 20 points; * Focal neurological deficits; * Evidence of major medical or mental illness, such as dementia, psychosis, history of drug abuse or severe depression; * Atypical Parkinson's disease or secondary Parkinson's disease caused by factors such as trauma, brain tumor, infection, cerebrovascular disease, other neurological diseases or drugs, chemicals or toxins; * Received other gene or cell therapy drugs; * Has a history of malignant tumors, but not including treated carcinoma in situ, or medical conditions that are poorly controlled and may increase the risk of surgery; * Has a history of stroke, or obvious cardiovascular diseases, diabetes; * Clinically obvious or laboratory-detected infections; * Chronic immunosuppressive therapy, including chronic steroids, immunotherapy, cytotoxic therapy and chemotherapy; * Coagulation disorders or inability to temporarily stop any anticoagulant or antiplatelet treatment before surgery; * Severe liver disease (AST/ALT ≥ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)); * Any factor that may prevent the subject from following the study protocol, including medical or social factors, including geographical inconvenience; * Any other situation that the investigator deems unsuitable for participation in this study.
