NCT ID NCT07212088

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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-stage trial tests a single injection of lab-grown dopamine-producing cells into the brains of 12 people with advanced Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if the procedure is safe and if it can improve motor function and quality of life. Participants must be between 55 and 75 years old, have had Parkinson's for over 5 years, and experience daily 'off' periods despite medication.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ALC01 therapy (iPSC-derived dopamine progenitor cells)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a cell-based treatment that restores dopamine function and improves motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 12 participants, so safety and feasibility are the main focus. The procedure involves brain surgery, which carries risks like bleeding or infection, and the cells may not survive or work as hoped.
