Expanded Access Study of UC-MSC in DMD Patients

• Conditions: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

• Registration Number: NCT06579352
• Lead Sponsor: MED Institute Inc.

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to provide UC-MSC treatment to patients with DMD.

Secondary objectives will be to further evaluate treatment-related adverse events as well as changes in DMD-related functional testing/assessments, blood laboratories, and inflammation related biomarker levels over time.

Detailed Description

The study will enroll ambulatory male participants between the ages of 5 and 10, who will receive four, 3-day intravenous dose cycles of UC-MSC treatment, each administered every three months. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the study period for treatment-related adverse events and changes in DMD-related functional assessments at specific follow-up intervals through 24 months.
