E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1.- Atypical or secondary parkinsonism, including but not limited to symptoms believed to be due to trauma, brain tumor, infection, cerebrovascular disease, other neurological disease, or to drugs, chemicals, or toxins, as determined by the Investigator.
2.- MoCA score <26.
3.- Use of tetrahydrocannabinol within 6 months of screening evaluation.
4.- Brain imaging abnormalities in the striatum or other regions that would substantially increase risk of surgery.
5.- Contraindication to MRI and/or gadolinium-based contrast agents.
6.- Prior brain surgery or infusion therapies that could complicate the study procedure or negatively impact study evaluations as determined from participant interview, screening MRI, or medical records.
7.- History of malignancy other than treated carcinoma in situ within 3 years of screening evaluation.
8.- Prior gene transfer, current treatment with any investigational agent (drug or device) within 2 months of screening evaluation, or participation or plans to participate in another research study.
9.- Ongoing treatments or planned treatments that might interfere with interpretation of the study outcome including deep brain stimulation. |
