Arm Intervention/treatment
Mesencephalic Neuronal Precursor Cells Drug: Mesencephalic Neuronal Precursor Cells
All the patients are continuously registered for this study. Data monitoring committee inspects the clinical results of first patient and decides whether the treatment for four subjects are appropriate to proceed. 5 subjects of each group are subject to inspection by Data monitoring committee after the end of tracking fifth patients.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Presence or absence of cancer foramtion and infection [ Time Frame: 5 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 :
  1. Score of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) [ Time Frame: 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


  2. Detection of positron emission in Putamen using Positron emission tomograph(PET) [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    In pet analysis, putamen activity is investigated via radioactivity before cell transplantation and 12,24,36,48,60 months after the treatment.

  3. Dyskinesia scale scores(CAPSIT-PD) [ Time Frame: 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.

  4. Pronation-supination test, Hand/Arm movement between two points, finger dexterity, stand-walk-sit-test [ Time Frame: 5 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.

  5. Score of activity of daily living (ADL) scale [ Time Frame: 5 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.

  6. Score of Korean mini-mental examination (K-MMSE) [ Time Frame: 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.

  7. Motor fluctuation scale scores [ Time Frame: 5 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.

  8. Satisfaction score with patient questionnaire [ Time Frame: 5 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.

  9. Dopaminergic drug dose [ Time Frame: 5 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.

  10. Tremor, postural instability, motor dysfunction, gait disturbance [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Using video recording, assessment for symptoms such as tremor, postural instability, motor dysfunction and gait disturbance before the cell transplantation and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24,30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months after the treatment.

  11. Assessing the extent of recovery with patient's diary [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    Assessing the extent of recovery based on patient's diary before the cell transplantation and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24,30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months after the treatment.
