Summary

This trial will test the safety of injecting special cells into the brains of people with Parkinson's disease. These cells will eventually produce dopamine, a chemical lacking in Parkinson's patients. The cells will be made

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Parkinson's Disease who are willing to have cells, previously collected from their own bodies, modified and injected back into their brain. The details of the eligibility criteria were not provided.
What is being tested?
The study is testing ANPD001, a treatment involving cells that mature into dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. Participants will receive these specialized cells derived from their own tissues.
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects are not listed, but since this involves brain injections and cell therapy, potential risks may include infection, immune reaction, or neurological changes.

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
Incidence and severity of treatment emergent adverse events (Safety and Tolerability)
Secondary study objectives
