Detailed Description
Participants that take part in this experimental treatment will receive six HUCBP infusions over a six month period, with a final check-up occuring six months after the last infusion. Blood samples will be collected before receiving each HUCBP infusion, and at the last check-up. Participants will also be asked to complete a medical questionnaire (SF 36) prior to the first infusion, and prior to each subsequent infusion. The medical questionnaire is four (4) pages in length and includes comprehensive questions about previous medical health and history.
Participation in the experimental treatment will involve monitoring by the Principal Doctor for a period of twelve months after the initial infusion of HUCBP. A second infusion is planned for one month after the initial infusion, a third infusion is planned for two months after the initial infusion, a fourth infusion is planned for three months after the initial infusion, a fifth infusion is planned for four months after the initial infusion,and a sixth infusion is planned for five months after the initial infusion. Participants will be asked to undergo the same blood tests and physical examinations performed at the time of the initial infusion at each of the five subsequent infusions (i.e. at one, two, three, four, and five months after the initial infusion). Twelve months after the initial infusion participants will be asked to attend for final blood tests and physical examinations. There will be no HUCBP infusion at the twelve-month visit.
Assessment criteria for the study include: (1) Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF 36); (2) Biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress, and growth factors; (3) Adrenal cortical hormone levels; (4) Telomere length; (5) Hand grip strength; (6) Body fat measurement; (7) DNA damage; and (8) Overall safety of intravenous administration.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Human Umbilical Cord Blood Plasma
Six intravenous infusions of human umbilical cord blood plasma (HUCBP) during a twelve month study period.
The amount of HUCBP being infused on each occasion is 50 mL.
|
Plasma collected from human umbilical cord blood

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF 36)
Time Frame: The investigators will determine changes in SF 36 scores collected at baseline and at 1 month after HUCBP infusion.
|
SF 36 as a measure quality of life improvements compared to baseline
|
The investigators will determine changes in SF 36 scores collected at baseline and at 1 month after HUCBP infusion.
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress.
Time Frame: Blood samples will be collected the day before the first infusion and 1 month after HUCBP infusion
|
Blood samples will be tested for changes in biomarkers - compared to baseline measurements.
|
Blood samples will be collected the day before the first infusion and 1 month after HUCBP infusion
|
Adrenal cortical hormone levels as a measure of efficacy for anti-aging effects.
Time Frame: Testing will occur using blood samples that will be collected the day before the first infusion and 1 month after HUCBP infusion
|
Blood samples will be tested for changes in adrenal cortical hormone as compared to the baseline measurements.
|
Testing will occur using blood samples that will be collected the day before the first infusion and 1 month after HUCBP infusion
|
Telomere length as a measure of efficacy for anti-aging effects.
Time Frame: Testing will occur using blood samples that will be collected the day before the first infusion and 1 month after HUCBP infusion
|
Blood samples will be tested for changes in the length of the telomere as compared to the baseline measurements (in particular, the investigators will be looking to see if HUCBP infusion protects telomere from shortening).
|
Testing will occur using blood samples that will be collected the day before the first infusion and 1 month after HUCBP infusion
|
Hand grip strength as metric of anti-aging effects
Time Frame: Each participant will perform the grip strength test on the day of the first infusion (baseline) and 1 month after HUCBP infusion
|
Hand grip strength will be tested on the day of the initial infusion and 1 month after HUCBP infusion.
The investigators will assess changes in handgrip strength compared to the baseline, collected on the day of the first infusion.
|
Each participant will perform the grip strength test on the day of the first infusion (baseline) and 1 month after HUCBP infusion
|
Body fat measurements
Time Frame: Body fat measurements of each participant will occur one day before the first infusion and 1 month after HUCBP infusion
|
Baseline body-fat measurements will be taken on the day of the first HUCBP infusion using calipers.
These measurements will be compared to additional measurements collected 1 month after HUCBP infusion.
The investigators will assess changes in body-fat measurements compared to baseline.
|
Body fat measurements of each participant will occur one day before the first infusion and 1 month after HUCBP infusion
|
Extent of DNA damage as a measure of efficacy for anti-aging effects
Time Frame: White blood cells isolated from blood samples collected the day before the first infusion and 1 month after HUCBP infusion.
|
Blood samples will be tested to assess changes of 8-hydroxyguanine (a common marker of DNA damage) in whole blood - compared to baseline measurements.
|
White blood cells isolated from blood samples collected the day before the first infusion and 1 month after HUCBP infusion.
