  1. One typical inclusion criterion may be from idiopathic PD of at least 7 years duration and who is responsive to levodopa. Moderate-to-severe cognitive impairment and depression are normally excluded. The screening visit during an enrollment can be based on participants’ MDS-UPDRS parts II and III scores data. Immunologic responses and serious adverse reactions are some of important safety and tolerability measurement. The summaries include any approved, withdrawn, or registered clinical study representatives with reference number provided
