Overview
Brief Summary
The global objective of this study is to establish the safety and investigate the potential treatment effect of an intravenous infusion of HB-adMSCs (Hope Biosciences adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells) on brain structure, neurocognitive/functional outcomes, and neuroinflammation after traumatic brain injury.
Detailed Description
This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2a study of three infusions of autologous HB-adMSCs (Hope Biosciences adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells) (2 x 10\^8 total cells per dose) administered over a 6 week period with 14 day intervals between infusions. Subjects will be monitored and assessed for infusion related toxicity for at least 1 hour after the infusion and by telephone 24hr. after each infusion. Safety assessments will be conducted at the study follow-up clinic visits 6 and 12 months, and 2 years (telephone call) after the last HB-adMSC (Hope Biosciences adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells) infusion, or more frequently if infusion related adverse events are suspected.
