A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This trial investigates the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) in patients diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP). Participants will receive a single infusion of 100 million UC-MSCs and will be monitored for safety and efficacy at various intervals over a period of 48 months. The study aims to provide insights into the potential benefits of stem cell therapy for individuals with CP.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for improving outcomes in patients with cerebral palsy.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have indicated that stem cell treatments may be safe and effective for cerebral palsy, suggesting a promising avenue for this approach.
