Description
This is a multicenter first-in-human (FIH) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical responses following implantation of dopaminergic progenitor cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (DSP-1083) compared with sham surgery. Safety is measured based on adverse events, changes in neuropsychiatric/cognition status, and serial neuroimaging (ie, engraftment status, graft expansion, rejection) over 104 weeks.
Cohort 1 sentinel subject (SS1) will undergo 2 unilateral surgical procedures separated by approximately 28 weeks, whereas SS2 and all subsequent subjects will undergo 1 bilateral surgical procedure.
