Autologous Stem Cell Therapy in Patients With Multiple System Atrophy

March 9, 2026 updated by: Biocells Medical

A Phase II Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Autologous Stem Cell Therapy in Patients With Multiple System Atrophy

This study investigates the safety and efficacy of autologous stem cell therapy in patients with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a rare and progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by autonomic failure, parkinsonism, and cerebellar ataxia. The trial will evaluate functional outcomes, motor performance, and quality of life compared to placebo/controlled group.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Change in Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS)
Time Frame: At week 48 from baseline
At week 48 from baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Health-Related Quality of Life as Measured by the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)
Time Frame: At week 48 from baseline
Change in Health-Related Quality of Life as Measured by the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Total Score with Range: 0-100 where 0 is the lowest value and 100 is the highest; higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life at Week 48
At week 48 from baseline
