Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Safety of autologous bone marrow stem/progenitor cell infusion in enrolled patients
Confirm the safety of autologous bone marrow stem/progenitor cell infusion in enrolled patients by repeated follow-up over one year with clinical and laboratory evaluations.
1 year
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Efficacy of autologous bone marrow stem/progenitor cell infusion in enrolled patients.
1 year
Study Arms (2)
Stem/progenitor cells transplantation.
ACTIVE COMPARATORIntervention: Biological: Cell-based therapeutics Autologous bone marrow-derived stem/progenitor cells will be transplanted intrathecally (via a standard lumbar puncture) into early vs. progressive ALS subjects.
Standard treatment of ALS
SHAM COMPARATORSymptomatic treatment of ALS without biologic cell-based treatment
Interventions
Human autologous bone marrow-derived stem/progenitor cell transplantation in ALS patients.
