Reduced-intensity Immunoablation and Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT) for Multiple Sclerosis

May 3, 2017 updated by: Darwin A. Dasig, Makati Medical Center

Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Reduced-intensity Immunoablation and Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT) in Multiple Sclerosis

This is a patient-sponsored study that evaluates the safety and efficacy of reduced-intensity immunoablation followed by a single dose autologous hematopoetic stem cell transplantation in patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Patients are followed-up after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post-transplantation.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosed with progressive multiple sclerosis with or without relapses

  • Patients whose life expectancy is severely limited by another illness
  • Patients with evidence of myelodysplasia or other non-autoimmune cytopenia
  • Patients having received a cytotoxic agent within one month prior to this study
  • Patients who are pregnant or at risk of pregnancy, including those unwilling to practice
  • Patients with psychiatric illness, mental deficiency, or cognitive dysfunction
  • Patients unable to give written informed consent in accordance with research ethics board guidelines
