NCT03296501

Brief Summary

The goal of our nonrandomized, open label study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of autologous adipose derived mesenchymal regenerative cells (ADRC) transplantation into the individuals with diagnosed amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). All enrolled patients will have a documented at least 3-months clinical and electrophisiological observation of ALS disease course prior to study enrollment. Each patient will recive 3 injections of ADRC every 3 months: an intraspinal injection followed by 2 subsequent intrathecal infusions. Safety, adverse events and efficacy will be confirmed by clinical, elecrophisiological ( EMG, MUNIX), neuroimmaging and spirometry together with functional (ALSFRS-R) and objective motor assesment (MRC and dynamometer).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • clinically definite or probable ALS according to El Escorial criteria
  • life expectancy of more than 1 year

  • Presence of comorbidity that would stand in the way of neurosurgical treatment-
  • previous history of a spinal-cord surgery at the clinically affected level
  • previous/current history of neoplasm or comorbidity that could impact upon patient's survival
  • PEG
  • pregnancy /lactation
  • noninvasive/invasive mechanical ventilation at time of recruitment
  • alcohol abuse, cocaine amphetamine, etc.
