Brief Summary

The purpose of clinical trials is to evaluate safety and tolerability of Fetal Mesencephalic Dopamine Neuronal Precursor Cells as a treatment for Patients with Parkinson's disease.

Detailed Description

This study is phase I/II clinical trials which is accessible to those involved in the study and conducted by only Bundang CHA hospital.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Presence or absence of cancer foramtion and infection5 years

If not included in the following criteria, the cells are are considered to be safe and tolerable.

* Cells with grade 3 or more in NCI grading system

* Cells contaminated with infectious materials

* Cells with risk of cancer formation

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Score of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)5 years

UPDRS, most commonly used, is designed to assess the severity of parkinson's disease, making the quantitative measurement of the extent. Part III of UPDRS corresponds to motor evaluation and is the most reliable for detecting symptomatic progression.

UPDRS improvement ratio(%) = ((the value of UPDRS before surgery - the value of UPDRS after surgery) / (the value of UPDRS before surgery)) X 100

Detection of positron emission in Putamen using Positron emission tomograph(PET)5 years

In pet analysis, putamen activity is investigated via radioactivity before cell transplantation and 12,24,36,48,60 months after the treatment.

Dyskinesia scale scores(CAPSIT-PD)5 years

Overall inspection was carried out before transplantation and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months after the treatment for determining whether the cells have therapeutic effects.

Pronation-supination test, Hand/Arm movement between two points, finger dexterity, stand-walk-sit-test5 years

Comprehensive clinical assessment for examining the improvements in self reporting and timed testing before the cell transplantation and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24,30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months after the treatment:Pronation-supination test, Hand/Arm movement between two points, finger dexterity, stand-walk-sit-test.

Score of activity of daily living (ADL) scale5 years

Comprehensive clinical assessment for examining the improvements in activity of daily living before the cell transplantation and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24,30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months after the treatment.

Score of Korean mini-mental examination (K-MMSE)5 years

Comprehensive clinical assessment for examining the improvements in mental state before the cell transplantation and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24,30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months after the treatment.

Motor fluctuation scale scores5 years

Comprehensive clinical assessment for identifying the presence of motor fluctuation symptoms before the cell transplantation and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24,30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months after the treatment.

Satisfaction score with patient questionnaire5 years

Measure of patient satisfaction before the cell transplantation and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24,30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months after the treatment.

Dopaminergic drug dose5 years

Measure of dopaminergic drug dose before the cell transplantation and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24,30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months after the treatment.
