What is being tested?
The study tests CELZ-201-DDT's safety and effectiveness against placebo in managing chronic lower back pain through intramuscular injections near the spine. It aims to determine whether this treatment can provide relief when standard care has failed.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, common reactions to injections may include pain at the injection site, swelling, bruising and possible allergic reactions. The trial will assess CELZ-201-DDT's tolerability indicating close monitoring of any adverse effects.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Evaluate safety of CELZ-201-DDT administered as intramuscular injections in subjects experiencing chronic lower back pain at a low, medium, or high dose.
Secondary outcome measures
Evaluate the potential efficacy of CELZ-201-DDT therapy in terms of pain alleviation and improved mobility in subjects experiencing chronic low back pain.

ADAPT Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Medium DoseExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects in the medium dose arm will receive a single administration of either 12x10^6 cells (n=8) or a placebo injection (n=2). Each subject will receive six paraspinal intramuscular injections (three injections per side) of either CELZ-201-DDT or placebo into the lumbar musculature under direct ultrasound guidance.
Group II: Low DoseExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects in the low dose arm will receive a single administration of either 6x10^6 cells (n=8) or a placebo injection (n=2). Each subject will receive six paraspinal intramuscular injections (three injections per side) of either CELZ-201-DDT or placebo into the lumbar musculature under direct ultrasound guidance.
Group III: High DoseExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects in the high dose arm will receive a single administration of either 24x10^6 cells (n=8) or a placebo injection (n=2). Each subject will receive six paraspinal intramuscular injections (three injections per side) of either CELZ-201-DDT or placebo into the lumbar musculature under direct ultrasound guidance.
