Summary |
Cell replacement therapies for Parkinson’s Disease (PD) based on transplantation of dopaminergic neurons generated from pluripotent stem cell sources are now entering clinical trials. Here, we present the quality, safety and efficacy data supporting a first-in-human clinical trial in PD using an embryonic stem cell product STEM-PD, as well as the design of the trial itself. The cryopreserved STEM-PD product was manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and fully quality-tested in vitro for regulatory compliance. The product was further tested in an extensive 39-week Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) safety study in immunodeficient rats for toxicity, tumourigenicity and biodistribution, as well as in a 24-week non-GLP efficacy study. These studies showed that the transplanted STEM-PD cells could induce full functional recovery in a pre-clinical rat model of PD, and that the treatment did not give rise to any adverse effects. This cell batch will be used for all participants in the STEM-PD Phase I/IIa clinical trial, where the first of 8 patients with moderate PD have now been transplanted. Furthermore, we observed highly comparable in vivo efficacy results between two different GMP batches of STEM-PD cells, verifying that this product has the potential to be serially manufactured for widespread clinical use.

Overall design |
gDNA from a stem cells (RC17) master cell bank (MCB) and from two different ventral midbrain dopaminergic precursors (STEM-PD) batches (#1 and #3) was purified and analysed using the HumanCytoSNP-12 v2.1. The genetic stability of the MCB and of STEM-PD #1 was tested at thaw and after different passages in culture.
