Mesenchymal Stem Cells Therapy in Patients With Recent Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Safety and Feasibility of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Therapy in Patients With Recent Intracerebral Hemorrhage

The overall goal of this study is to develop mesenchymal stem cell therapy for treatment of acute spontaneous hemorrhagic stroke.

The overall clinical development strategy of this project is to conduct this Phase I dose escalation study entitled "A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety and Feasibility of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Therapy in Patients with Recent Intracerebral Hemorrhage". This study will be performed under this current IND application and will be limited to the proposed 12 subjects (3 IV and 1 IT dose groups).

In this application the investigators are proposing to evaluate safety and feasibility of allogeneic, bone marrow (BM) derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to induce neuroregeneration, improve neurological function and alleviate inflammation.
