About this study

Official title: The Precise Transplantation of Human Amniotic Epithelial Stem Cells Into the Ventricle Through Surgical Robot in the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of multiple treatments of hAESCs treatments, while exploring the effectiveness of hAESCs treatments for PD.

Read the detailed description

The study plans to use randomized controlled trial and recruit 12 participants with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease. The trial will be divided into two groups, hAESCs treatment group and control group, each group 6 subjects. Through surgical robot technology, hAESCs will be precisely multiple transplanted into the lateral ventricles, that is two times consolidation hAESCs treatments or placebo were added to the four times basic hAESCs treatments. Therapeutic safety and effectiveness of multiple treatments of hAESCs on PD will be evaluated to further develop the optimal stem cell treatment strategy.

Study groups in NCT05435755
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
hAESCs treatmentExperimentalA total of 6 times hAESCs transplants will be performed. 50 million (in 2ml) hAESCs will be transplanted into the ventricle of participants through the Ommaya sac (set as day 0 at the beginning of the trial). Subsequently, hAESCs ventricle transplants will be performed at 1 month ±5 days, 2 months ±5 days, 3 months ±5 days, 6 months ±5 days, and 9 months ±5 days after the first cell transplantation, with a volume of 50 million cells (in 2 ml) each time.

Control groupPlacebo comparatorFour times hAESCs transplants and two times placebo (cell preservation solution) injections will be performed by Ommaya sac. 50 million (in 2ml) hAESCs will be transplanted into the ventricle of participants (set as day 0 at the beginning of the trial). Subsequently, hAESCs will be transplanted into the ventricle for 3 times, respectively, at 1 month ±5 days , 2 months±5 days , and 3 months ±5 days after the first cell transplantation, with a volume of 50 million cells (in 2 ml) each time. Ventricle injection of 2 ml placebo (cell preservation solution) will be performed at 6 months ±5 days and 9 months ±5 days after the first cell transplantation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of participants with adverse event (AE), serious adverse event(SAE) and adverse events of special interest(AESI)

    AE occurring throughout the study period will be evaluated using the CTCAE V5.0 standard. AE/SAE and AESI were evaluated after Ommaya sac installation by laboratory examination, measurement of vital signs, physical examination, and subjects' symptoms to detect new abnormalities and/or deterioration of previous conditions and evaluate the safety of the study.

    AESI is defined as intracranial infection, hemorrhage, rejection, and edema within 7 days after Ommaya sac installation, as well as acute allergic reactions and ectopic mass formation associated with study therapy.

    Measured: 12 Months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Changes in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) in OFF state between the experimental group and the control group at 12 months after the first hAESCs treatment

    UPDRS is used for evaluating the impairment and disability associated with Parkinson's Disease (PD). It consists of four sections: (1) Mentation, behavior, and mood; (2) Activities of daily living (ADLs); (3) Motor; and (4) Complications.

    The UPDRS score ranges from 0 to 199, with higher score indicating greater disability

    Measured: day 0, 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and 12 month.

  2. Changes in the Hoehn and Yahr scale

    Hoehn and Yahr scale is used to provide a general estimate of clinical function of PD patients, combining functional deficits (disability) and objective signs (impairment). The Hoehn and Yahr score ranges from 0 to 5, with higher score indicating higher dysfunction of PD patients.

    Measured: day 0, 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and 12 month.

  3. Changes in the Schwab and England score

    The Schwab and England score develop a scale that describes the capacity of daily living shown by a PD patients. It measures the following three areas: dependence, abilities, and awareness. The Schwab and England score range from o% to 100%, with higher scores indicating greater healthy status.

    Measured: day 0, 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and 12 month.

  4. Changes in the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39)

    PDQ-39 provides the evidence of the quality of life of a PD patient. The higher the score, the lower the quality of life of PD patients.

    Measured: day 0, 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and 12 month.

  5. Changes in the Hamilton Depression (HAMD) Scale

    HAMD is the most widely used scale in clinical evaluation of depression in PD patients. This project takes 8 points as the critical value of depression, and the total score over 35 points is considered as severe depression, more than 20 points is likely to be diagnosed with depression, less than 8 points is not depressed.

    Measured: day 0, 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and 12 month.

  6. Differences in biochemical indicators of cerebrospinal fluid

    Cerebrospinal fluid indicator tests include biochemical indicators and the following parameters: Dopamine (DA), high vanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), norepinephrine (MHPG), α synuclein (α-synuclein), amyloid deposition (Aβ42), Tau protein (Tau) Protein, Neurofilament light (NF-L), and yKL-40 (YKL-40).

    Measured: day 0, 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month and 12 month.

  7. Cranial dopamin transporter measured by positron emission tomography (PET)- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

    Changes of cranial expression of dopamine transporter investigated by PET-MR

    Measured: 4 month, 6 month, 12 month

  8. Glucose metabolism measured by 18F-Fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose (FDG) PET scan

    Changes of cranial glucose metabolism investigated by PET-MR

    Measured: 4 month, 6 month, 12 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing hAESCs treatment in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Shanghai East Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jingwen Wu, Dr (18916111526, wujingwendongfang@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with adverse event (AE), serious adverse event(SAE) and adverse events of special interest(AESI) (time frame: 12 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Oct 2022.
