The drug for this submission is Hope Biosciences' autologous, adipose-derived culture-expanded mesenchymal stem cells (HB-adMSCs) for the treatment of a single patient with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Stem cells have become a promising tool for the treatment of inflammatory and neurodegenerative conditions, including autoimmune diseases, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.

Once the eligibility is confirmed, approximately 1-2 weeks after the screening visit, the subject will return for the baseline/first infusion visit. Subsequent treatments will occur 2 weeks apart for 18 weeks, for a total of 10 infusions. Follow-up visits will occur at 22 weeks, 26 weeks and 39 weeks. End of study visit will occur at 52 weeks.

Baseline/Infusion 1 Visit

1. A verification of patient consent will be verbally performed and included in the progress note.

2. Review of medical history, and concomitant medications.

3. Physical exam + ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R)

4. Vital signs (Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Respirations, Temp., SpO2)

5. Weight measurement

6. Blood samples will be collected for safety and efficacy assessments:

   • Hematology
   • Chemistry
   • Coagulation Panel
   • Proinflammatory Cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, TNF-a)
   • C- Reactive Protein (CRP)

7. The HB-adMSCs will be administered and the patient closely observed:

   • One intravenous infusion of HB-adMSCs (2x108 cells) to last 1 hour:

   - Saline Solution.

8. The subject will then be monitored for a minimum of 2hr after infusion as follows:

   • Measure Vital signs at minute 0 of infusion.
   • Measure Vital signs at minute 15 after IV infusion.
   • Measure Vital Signs at minute 30 after IV infusion.
   • Measure Vital signs at minute 60 after IV infusion.
   • Measure Vital signs at minute 120 after IV infusion. (Vital signs will be recorded more frequently if clinically indicated).

9. Adverse event monitoring

10. 24 hrs. Telephone encounter. The subject will be contacted by telephone the following day after the infusion visit to determine if any adverse events have occurred.

11. ALS-specific Quality of Life Survey-revised (ALSSQOL-R)

12. A video recording will be made with the purpose to capture patient's overall status (gait, range of motion assessments, etc.).

One week following infusion, PI will perform an assessment to determine patient status and discuss any changes since previous infusion.

Follow-Up Visit Week 22

1. You will be asked about your current health and medical history (if any changes since last study visit or telephone call).
2. You will be asked if there was any change in the medication list you have previously provided (Concomitant medication list).
3. Your blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, oxygen saturation and weight will be measured.
4. The doctor will perform a physical examination driven by the signs and/or symptoms you experience, if any.
5. The doctor will perform tests including the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) to measure the symptoms of ALS Disease on how you are able to perform.
6. You will be asked to complete the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis-Specific Quality of Life-Revised (ALSSQOL-R) questionnaire to assess the impact of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis on your quality of life.
