This clinical trial focus on the delivery of Cerezyme® in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients using MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) induced opening of the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
Leveraging the preclinical evidence and clinical experience with MRgFUS BBB opening in human subjects, the investigators propose a phase I open-label study to determine the safety and feasibility of three biweekly delivery of Cerezyme® (an analogue of the human enzyme beta-glucocerebrosidase) via MRgFUS induced BBB opening to unilateral putamen in PD. The putamen contains terminals of dopaminergic neurons from the substantia nigra, and is a critically affected brain region in PD. The primary objective is to determine the feasibility of repeated MRgFUS BBB opening for Cerezyme delivery in unilateral putamen. The secondary objective is to describe the safety and tolerability of the procedure. Another objective is to measure changes in PD relevant clinical scores and Cerezyme relevant biomarkers in the study.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Contrast enhancement on MR imaging | MRgFUS BBB Opening will be determined qualitatively by contrast enhancement in the sonicated putamen on T1-weighted with gadolinium MRI, and quantitatively by the change in intensity relative to contralateral unsonicated putamen immediately after MRgFUS BBBD procedure. | Immediately after MRgFUS BBBD procedure |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Safety --Adverse events | Safety will be assessed by recording all adverse events and/or Serious Adverse Events that are BBBD related. Each Adverse Event will be documented for patterns of occurrence. | Through study completion, an average of 3 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Exploratory effectiveness of Cerezyme delivery via MRgFUS BBB Opening | Exploratory effectiveness of Cerezyme delivery via MRgFUS BBB Opening will be measured by changes in levels of Cerezyme (GCase) and GCase substrates levels (e.g. GL1 and glucosylsphingosine or lyso-GL1) in cerebralspinal fluid (CSF) samples. | 1 day after the final BBBD procedure |

This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, open-labelled study to enroll six (6) patients with Parkinson's disease for three biweekly deliveries of Cerezyme® to the unilateral putamen corresponding to the most affected side using Exablate and Definity®-induced BBB opening. This is a dose escalation study. Each subject will be followed for three months after the final procedure.
