Clinical Study of Chemogenetic Gene Therapy With AAV for Parkinson's Disease Using Stereotactic Surgery in the Subthalamic Nucleus
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
gene therapy: Six participants are planned to be divided into two dose groups in the dose escalation principle. The dose escalation principle is as follows: After 3 sentinel subjects receive 1×10¹² volts of the virus vector, the research team will assess the safety, tolerance and efficacy of the current drug dosage 3 months later. If the test subjects do not show dose-limiting toxicity and have some efficacy, the sample size will be expanded to 6 at the original dosage. If the test subjects do not show dose-limiting toxicity but have no obvious efficacy, the titer will be increased to 3×10¹² volts and three more participants will be recruited for the trial. Four weeks after the injection of STP-001, when the participants recover, clozapine dose escalation treatment will be carried out.
Study summary
The investigators propose a gene therapy strategy for Parkinson's disease - a chemogenetic inhibition technique to intervene in the abnormal activity of the subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson's patients. The investigators design and construct a therapeutic injection agent called STP-001, through an efficient adeno-associated virus capsid (AAV), a neuronal promoter (hSyn), and a chemogenetic effector element (hM4Di). Then, the drug was accurately injected into the bilateral subthalamic nuclei through stereotactic surgery. After the surgery, combined with clozapine, the abnormal activity of the subthalamic nucleus was precisely intervened to improve the core motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- The incidence rates of adverse events and serious adverse events within 3 months after injecting STP-001 into the bilateral subthalamic nuclei. — 3 months after injecting STP-001
Adverse events and serious adverse events will be evaluated through physical examinations, electrocardiogram tests and laboratory tests to assess their safety and tolerability, including routine blood tests, routine urine tests, imaging studies, etc. The main aspects include the occurrence of CRS and GvHD (≥ grade II), as well as injection-induced dyskinesia (GIDs), new-onset allogeneic tumors after injection, and death.
