Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: IV-MSC for cALD (Early Disease/Bridge Therapy)
Patients with active, cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (cALD) as a bridge to hematopoietic stem cell transplant or gene therapy.
|
Biological: Mesenchymal stem cells (IV-MSC)
Patients will receive 1 infusion (1 x 106 cells/kg on day 0) then be followed for 8 weeks from the infusion. |
Experimental: IV-MSC for cALD (Advanced Disease)
Patients with active, cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (cALD) who are too advanced for gene therapy or HSCT.
|
Biological: Mesenchymal stem cells (IV-MSC)
Patients will receive 1 infusion (1 x 106 cells/kg on day 0) then be followed for 8 weeks from the infusion. |
- Safety and tolerability of intravenously-administered allogeneic, third-party mesenchymal stem cells (IV-MSC). [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Safety and tolerability of cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (cALD) patients receiving intravenously-administered allogeneic, third-party mesenchymal stem cells (IV-MSC) assessed by incidence of adverse events.
- Incidence of radiographic response in patients receiving intravenously-administered allogeneic, third-party mesenchymal stem cells (IV-MSC). [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Radiographic response is defined as the resolution of intravenous gadolinium contrast enhancement on brain MRI.
