| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To establish the feasibility and the toxicity of preparation and infusions of third party MSCs for the treatment of steroid resistant acute and acute phases of chronic GVHD grade II-IV.;Secondary Objective: 1. To document the efficacy of MSC infusion in steroid resistant acute and acute phases of chronic GVHD grade II-IV. 2. To document the rate of GVHD recurrence in MSCs infused patients. 3. To document relapse of hematological malignancies post MSC infusions in patients undergoing MSCs treatment for steroid refractory aGvHD. 4. To document the overall survival of MSC infused patients for steroid refractory GvHD;Primary end point(s): To verify the absence of toxicity subsequent to experimental treatment | — |
