Safety and Efficacy Study of Autologus Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Multiple Sclerosis

May 1, 2017 updated by: Fatima Jamali, University of Jordan

Phase II Study: Use of Autologus Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Multiple Sclerosis Patients Who do Not Respond to Conventional Treatment

  1. Expanding and priming Bone Marrow (BM)- Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) to a clinical scale according to Good Laboratory Practice using xenogenic free media instead of the previously used FCS.
  2. Assessing the safety of injecting autologous BM-MSCs to Multiple Sclerosis (MS)patients who fail to respond to conventional treatment.
  3. Assessing the therapeutic benefits on the participants in the trial as per established methods.
