Summary

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.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Cord Tissue Mesenchymal Stromal CellsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will receive three intravenous infusions of 2x106/kg human umbilical cord tissue cells (hCT-MSC), manufactured from allogeneic umbilical cord donors
Group II: Allogeneic Umbilical Cord BloodExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will receive a single intravenous infusion of a maximum of 10x107/kg allogeneic umbilical cord blood (CB) cells
Group III: Natural HistoryActive Control1 Intervention
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.
