The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and preliminary effectiveness of human central nervous system stem cells (HuCNS-SC®) transplantation in patients with Connatal Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease (PMD).
Enrolled subjects will be transplanted with HuCNS-SC cells into the brain and will receive immunosuppression for nine months. The study observation period is for one year after transplant surgery. Thereafter, subjects will be enrolled in a long-term observational follow-up study for four years.
