Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of the intrathecal infusion of XCEL-UMC-BETA, by: - ASIA punctuation - Electrophysiology tests (motor and somatosensory evoked potentials. H and F waves) - Electrical pain threshold perception - Handgrip Strength by dynamometer - Walk test WISCIII - Numerical scale for neuropathic pain assessment - Modified Ashworth scale for spasticity - SCIM III scale for functionality - Quality of life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) - Psychological examination (IBP, HAD) - Social work survey (CIQ-IG) - AntiHLA antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) - Detection of donor cells in CSF;Main Objective: To assess the safety of intratecal infusion of XCEL-UMC-BETA;Primary end point(s): Safety will be assessed by physical examination, vital signs, laboratory data, and adverse events;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 12 months follow-up

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Changes from baseline in ASIA score at 1, 3, 4, 6 and 12 m, compared with placebo - Changes from baseline in electrophysiological tests at 6 and 12 m, compared with placebo -Changes with respect to the baseline in the threshold of perception of the electrical stimulus and of perception of pain by electrical current (in 7 levels: 1 level above, and -1, -2, -3, -4, -5 and -6 for below the lesion) at 3, 6, and 12 m, compared with placebo. - Changes from baseline in grasping, pressing and pinching strength by dynamometer at 6 and 12 m, compared with placebo. - Changes from baseline in the WISCIII Walk test at 6 and 12 m, compared with placebo. - Changes from baseline in the numerical scale for neuropathic pain at 6 and 12 m, compared with placebo. -Changes from baseline in the modified Ashworth Scale for spasticity at 6 and 12 m, compared with placebo. -Changes from baseline in the SCIM III scale at 6 and 12 m, compared with placebo. -Changes from baseline in the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire at 6 and 12 m, compared with placebo. -Changes from baseline in the psychological examination at 12 m, compared with placebo. -Changes from baseline in the social work survey at 12 m, compared with placebo. - Presence or absence of ab-antiHLA in CSF after infusion of WJ-MSC (1 and 4 months). - The detection of donor cells in CSF will be assessed by detecting the presence or absence of donor cells (product infused) in the recipient CSF at 7 days after each infusion of WJ-MSC.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 7 days and at 1, 3, 4, 6 and 12 months follow-up.
