  • Duration of PD motor symptoms 5-15 years (inclusive)
  • Age 35-75 years (inclusive)
  • Presence of motor fluctuations.
  • At least 5 daily doses of levodopa
  • Ability to reliably distinguish motor states and accurately complete fluctuation diaries
  • UPDRS motor score (part III) in a practically defined OFF-state between 25-50 (inclusive)
  • Hoehn and Yahr ≤ stage III in the OFF-state
  • Responsiveness to levodopa
  • No change in anti-parkinsonian medication for 6 weeks before screening
  • Provision of Informed Consent

Exclusion

  • Diagnosed with atypical parkinsonism or any known secondary parkinsonian syndrome.
  • Signs or symptoms suggestive of atypical parkinsonian syndrome.
  • Drug-resistant rest tremor.
  • Prior neurosurgical treatment for PD, including lesioning or deep brain stimulation
  • Significant neurological disorder other than PD including clinically significant head trauma, cerebrovascular disease, epilepsia, CSF shunt or other implanted CNS device
  • Presence of significant depression as defined as a BDI score ≥ 20
  • Current psychosis requiring therapy.
  • Presence of clinically significant impulse control disorder ((QUIP-RS) score \> 20), or, presence of dopamine dysregulation syndrome.
  • MoCA score \< 24.
  • Use within 3 months of planned catheter insertion of concomitant medications known to affect PD symptoms other than prescribed PD therapy.
  • Any medical condition, which might impair outcome measure assessments or safety measures including ability to undergo MRI or DAT-PET.
  • Hypersensitivity or allergy to gadolinium or to any of excipients of macrocyclic GBCA used for the surgical planning MRI.
  • Screening and/or planning MRI demonstrating any abnormality, which would suggest an alternative cause for patient's parkinsonism or preclude neurosurgery.
  • Any medical condition that would put the patient at undue risk from surgical treatment or chronic implants including but not limited to bleeding disorders, chronic infections, or immunosuppressive illness
  • History within the last 5 years of cancer with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin
  • History of drug or alcohol abuse within 2 years of screening
  • Use of any investigational drug or device within 90 days of screening
