Brief summary
This trial will study the safety and efficacy of intrathecal injection of cultured autologous adult adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells versus cultured allogeneic adult umbilical-cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of spinal cord injury
Detailed description
Studies have shown that stem cell treatment is safe and efficacious for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). This patient funded trial aims to study the safety and efficacy of intrathecal injection of cultured autologous adult adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) versus cultured allogeneic adult umbilical-cord derived mesenchymal stem cell for the treatment of SCI. Patients with SCI will receive a single intrathecal injection of AD-MSCs. The total dose will be 100 million cells. Patients will be evaluated within one month pre treatment and at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 months post treatment for safety and efficacy.
