Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main purpose of this study is to estimate change in motor function 12 months after treatment with a single dose of allogeneic umbilical cord blood (AlloCB) or repeated doses of umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hCT-MSC) in children with cerebral palsy. In addition, this study will contribute much needed data to the clinical trials community on the natural history of the motor function in CP over short-term (less than 1 year) time periods relevant to the conduct of clinical trials and assess the safety of AlloCB and hCT-MSC infusion in children with cerebral palsy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a phase I/II, prospective, randomized, open-label trial designed to determine the effect size of change in GMFM-66 score in subjects treated with hCT-MSC or allogeneic CB and assess the safety of repeated doses of hCT-MSC in children with cerebral palsy. Children ages 2-5 years with cerebral palsy due to hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, stroke, or periventricular leukomalacia may be eligible to participate. All participants will ultimately be treated with an allogeneic cell product at some point during the study. Participants will be randomized to one of three arms: (1) the "AlloCB" arm will receive one allogeneic CB infusion at the baseline visit; (2) the "MSC" arm will receive three hCT-MSC infusions, one each at baseline, three months, and six months; (3) the "natural history" arm will not receive an infusion at baseline but will receive an allogeneic CB infusion at 12 months. Motor outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, six-months, and one-year time points. Safety will be evaluated at each infusion visit and remotely for an additional 12 months after the final visit. Duration of study participation will be 24 months from the time of baseline visit. Randomization to treatment arms will be stratified by GMFCS level at study entry and etiology of CP (Stroke vs. Other).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Allogeneic Umbilical Cord Blood

Subjects will receive a single intravenous infusion of a maximum of 10x107/kg allogeneic umbilical cord blood (CB) cells

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Infusion of allogeneic umbilical cord blood

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Subjects will receive a single infusion of allogeneic umbilical cord blood at the baseline visit.

Cord Tissue Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Subjects will receive three intravenous infusions of 2x106/kg human umbilical cord tissue cells (hCT-MSC), manufactured from allogeneic umbilical cord donors

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Infusion of MSCs

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Subjects will receive 3 infusions of MSCs (baseline, 3 months and 6 months).

Natural History

Subjects will not receive any study product infusion until after the 12 month assessment. At the 12 month visit, they will receive an infusion of allogeneic umbilical cord blood cells so that all study participants will receive some type of cellular therapy.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Infusion of allogeneic umbilical cord blood

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Subjects will receive a single infusion of allogeneic umbilical cord blood at the baseline visit.
