Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Presence of persistent active infection in the previous brain surgery area, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, or unhealed wounds; presence of implanted device malfunction, electrode displacement, etc., which in the investigator's judgment poses a significant risk to the subject or affects evaluation; contraindications to MRI (e.g., intracranial implants, cochlear implants, cardiac pacemaker/defibrillator, etc.); any contraindications to surgery or anesthesia as assessed by the investigator; or other surgical conditions that the investigator believes may affect participation in this study.
  • Significant abnormalities on cranial CT/MRI, including but not limited to: cerebral vascular malformation, vasogenic edema, brain tumor, more than 10 microbleeds, basal ganglia cerebral infarction lesions, etc., which in the investigator's judgment significantly increase surgical risk.
  • Active disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) or significant bleeding tendency within 3 months prior to signing informed consent, or inability to discontinue antiplatelet or other anticoagulant medications for at least 5 days before surgery.
  • Long-term (≥14 days) and high-dose (prednisone ≥20 mg/day or equivalent dose of other glucocorticoids) use of glucocorticoids or immunosuppressants (excluding topical use) within 3 months prior to signing informed consent.
  • Use of botulinum toxin within 6 months prior to signing informed consent.
  • Alcohol dependence, or positive drug abuse screening.
  • Receipt of electroconvulsive therapy within 30 days prior to administration.
  • Currently participating in another clinical trial, or having participated in another clinical study and received interventional treatment within 3 months prior to administration.
  • Severe dyskinesia in both medication "on" and "off" states.

Other illness

  • Atypical or secondary parkinsonism confirmed by the investigator to be caused by medication, metabolic disorders, or other conditions.
  • History of malignant tumor, or receipt of cell therapy or gene therapy within 2 years prior to screening.
  • History of psychiatric illness that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the subject unsuitable for participation; or history of suicidal ideation or suicidal attempt (including actual attempt, interrupted attempt, or aborted attempt) within the past year or currently.
  • Active epilepsy or current use of antiepileptic drugs at screening.
  • History of dementia or severe cognitive impairment; or obvious dementia or cognitive impairment at screening; MDS-UPDRS Part 1.1 (cognitive impairment) score \>3 at screening; poor compliance, inability to accurately complete diaries, and/or inability to sign informed consent due to dementia.
  • Other severe systemic diseases, such as cor pulmonale, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (FEV1% \<50%), etc.
  • Presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, syphilis infection, active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, tuberculosis infection, or other active infections that the investigator believes may affect the subject's participation in the study or influence study outcomes.
  • Contraindication or history of allergy to medications used during the study (e.g., tacrolimus, levodopa, etc.) or any of their components; allergy to the above drugs, other macrolide drugs; or allergic constitution (e.g., allergy to two or more drugs or foods).
  • Serious illness, or poor compliance as judged by the investigator, or any other condition that the investigator believes may jeopardize subject safety or affect study evaluation.

Lab values

  • History of severe cardiovascular disease within 1 year prior to screening, including but not limited to: severe heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III or IV, or left ventricular ejection fraction \<35% by any method), unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, clinically significant conduction abnormalities (e.g., unstable atrial fibrillation), etc., which in the investigator's judgment may increase surgical risk or render the subject unsuitable for participation.
  • Any of the following abnormal laboratory findings at screening, including but not limited to: Clinically significant abnormalities in coagulation function (prothrombin time ≥1.5 × ULN, activated partial thromboplastin time ≥1.5 × ULN); Clinically significant immunological abnormalities or autoimmune disease, assessed by the investigator as unsuitable for trial participation; Poorly controlled hypertension (defined as blood pressure still \>160/100 mmHg despite antihypertensive treatment) and severe orthostatic hypotension; Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c \>9.0%, or fasting plasma glucose \[FPG\] ≥11.1 mmol/L).

Age
