A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Exploratory Efficacy of IMS001 in Subjects With Multiple Sclerosis

A Phase 1, Dose-Escalating, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Exploratory Efficacy of Single Dose of IV IMS001 in Subjects With Multiple Sclerosis and Treatment Failure to Prior Disease Modifying Treatments (DMTs)

This is a Phase 1 study of IMS001, given as a single dose to subjects with Multiple Sclerosis who experience inadequate response and/or intolerability to disease modifying treatments. IMS001 is a human embryonic cell derived (hESC) mesenchymal stem cell (MSC). MSCs have the potential to modulate disease course.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Must be clinically stable for 1 month prior to Day 1.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Has a known or suspected hypersensitivity to human serum albumin, diphenhydramine, acetaminophen, methylprednisolone, or any of the components of IMS001.
• Has history of excluded medications, per protocol, prior to Day 1.
• Has a history of neoplastic disease except for basal cell carcinoma, non-metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been excised with clean margins, or adequately treated in-situ carcinoma of the cervix.

• Has other clinically significant laboratory abnormalities during Screening Phase.
• Body weight ≥120 kg.
• Women pregnant, breast feeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study.
