Six participants are planned to be divided into three dose groups in the dose escalation principle. The dose escalation principle is as follows: After the first sentinel subject receives 1×10¹² vg virus vectors, the research team will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the current drug dose after 4 weeks. If this sentinel does not experience dose-limiting toxicity, another sentinel subject will receive a 2×10¹² vg dose; if this sentinel develops dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), this dose will be defined as an intolerable dose, and the Data Review Committee will determine whether to select a lower dose for exploration or terminate dose escalation based on the existing data. If this sentinel subject doesn't experience dose-limiting toxicity, another participant will receive a 4×10¹² vg dose as a new sentinel subject. If this sentinel subject doesn't experience DLT, all of the next three subjects will receive a 4×10¹² vg dose.

DRUG

clozapine

Clozapine ramp-up will be performed four weeks after neurosurgery, when the participants have recovered, and the participants will be treated orally with clozapine. Clozapine is 25mg per tablet, and the oral dose is 1/32, 1/16, and 1/8 tablet twice a day, in the morning and at noon, respectively, with each dose repeated for 3 days for a total of 9 days. If no DLT develops during this time, the participants will continue to take 1/8 pill orally twice a day as a maintenance dose, and they will be monitored for 12 months.
