CNS10-NPC-GDNF delivered into the motor cortex for the treatment of ALS
ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that results in the death of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing the muscles in the body to gradually weaken, leading to…
The CuRe Trial: Cellular Therapy for In Utero Myelomeningocele Repair and The CuRe Trial: Cellular Therapy for In Utero Repair of Myelomeningocele
UC Davis is conducting a clinical trial for in utero repair of myelomeningocele (MMC), the most severe form of spina bifida. MMC is a birth defect that occurs due to incomplete…
A Phase 1b Safety Study for MRI guided delivery of AAV2-GDNF for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson's Disease is a neurodegenerative disease that is thought to be the outcome of the gradual breakdown of dopaminergic neurons in the brain, which are a type of cell that…
Progenitor Cells Secreting GDNF for the Treatment of ALS
ALS is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no cure that specifically affect a patient's motor neurons in the brain. A team at Cedars-Sinai is transplanting millions of genetically engineered stem cells…
A Double-Blind, Controlled Ph 2b Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Modified Stem Cells in Patients with Chronic Motor Deficit from Ischemic Stroke
Stroke is a major cause of long-term disability and there are no proven medical treatments for chronic stroke. SanBio is carrying out a Phase 2 clinical trial using mesenchymal stem…
MSC engineered to produce BDNF for the treatment of Huntington’s disease
A team at UC Davis plans to use bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells to deliver a growth factor, called BDNF, to patients' brains in order to reduce the death…
A Phase I/IIa Dose Escalation Safety Study of AST-OPC1 in Patients with Cervical Sensorimotor Complete Spinal Cord Injury
Up to 12,000 Americans suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI) each year. This condition leads to a high level of permanent disability and decreased life expectancy. Currently, there are no…
Evaluation of Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of Escalating Doses of GRNOPC1 in Subacute Spinal Cord Injury
Geron carried out a Phase 1 clinical trial to assess the safety and preliminary activity of escalating doses of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells for treatment…
A Phase 3, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Multicenter Study to Evaluate Efficacy & Safety of Repeated Administrations of NurOwn® in Patients with ALS
BrainStorm Therapeutics is using mesenchymal stem cells that are taken from the patient's own bone marrow. These stem cells are then modified in the lab to boost their production of…
