Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells From Adipose Tissue in Patients With Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Multicenter Clinical Trial Phase I / II Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate Safety and Feasibility of Therapy With Two Different Doses of Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Patients With Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Who do Not Respond to Treatment

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of regenerative therapy with mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue, administered intravenously in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis who do not respond to treatment.
