About the research

To assess the safety and tolerability of single doses of KL002 over 78 weeks in subjects with Parkinson's disease。

Read the full description

This is an open-label, non-randomized, phase 1/2a single ascending dose study, consisting of Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion parts, to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of KL002 in patients with Parkinson's disease. Eligible subjects will enter the dose escalation part of the study, receive a single stereotactic intraputaminal administration of KL002, and be followed for 18 months in the core study and up to 5 years total in long-term follow-up (LTFU) with safety and efficacy assessments.

Who may be able to participate?

The list below is the sponsor’s full registry wording. It can include conditions, prior treatment, test results and other requirements. A match in search does not mean you qualify.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Males or females ≥ 40 and ≤ 75 years old
2. Diagnosis of Parkinson's disease per UK Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank Clinical Diagnostic Criteria
3. Duration of Parkinson's disease motor symptoms: 3-12 years
4. Hoehn and Yahr Stage II-IV (as determined in Practically Defined OFF state)
5. The OFF period MDS-UPDRS III score \> 30 , and the percent improvement in MDS-UPDRS III in the levodopa/carbidopa challenge test is ≥ 30%
6. Must have been on a stable regimen of Parkinson's disease symptomatic therapy for at least 4 weeks prior to KL002 administration, and must remain stable through dosing unless otherwise approved by the Medical Monitor
7. Must agree to postpone any Parkinson's disease-related neurological surgery, including deep brain stimulation, until after completing the 24-month follow-up
8. Patient has the ability to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide written informed consent and authorization to use protected health information in accordance with national and local privacy regulations

Exclusion Criteria:

1. The diagnosis of a significant central nervous system (CNS) disease other than Parkinson's disease that may be a cause for the patient's Parkinson's disease symptoms or may confound study objectives
2. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score of \< 24
3. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) score of \> 17
4. Hypersensitivity or contraindications to corticosteroid use
5. History of previous brain surgery for Parkinson's disease, such as deep brain stimulation or focused ultrasound
6. Clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory test results at screening
7. Atypical Parkinson's disease or secondary Parkinson's disease caused by factors such as chemicals or toxins
8. Use of ambroxol within 8 weeks of dosing
9. Any type of prior gene or cell therapy
10. Contraindications to general anesthesia
11. Any factors that may cause the subject to be unable to follow the study protocol, including medical or social factors, or geographical inconvenience

What researchers are measuring

Outcome measures describe what is being studied. They are not proof that a treatment works.

Primary measures

Adverse event (AE) incidence

Time frame: From administration of KL002 to the end of the follow-up within 78 weeks

To evaluate AEs by CTCAE 6.0

Incidence of procedure or treatment-emergent safety findings

Time frame: within 78 weeks

Assessed by brain MRI

Changes in mood

Time frame: within 78 weeks

Assessed by the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). The range of crisis assessment scores is 1-10 points, with higher scores indicating higher suicidal tendencies.

Secondary measures

Change from baseline in Parkinson's disease medication dosage

Time frame: within 78 weeks

Expressed as levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD)

Motor function

Time frame: within 78 weeks

Determined byMDS-UPDRS III. The highest score is 56 points, and the lower the score, the better the recovery situation.
