The trial will explore the safety and efficacy of twenty intravenous administrations of deramiocel, each separated by three months. Subjects will undergo a targeted screening during a 30-day screening period, eligible subjects will then undergo baseline safety and efficacy assessments on Day 1 prior to their first infusion of deramiocel. Subjects will complete trial assessments at Screening; Day 1; Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, and 60. Safety and efficacy assessments will be conducted prior to deramiocel administration at the Day 1, Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, and 57 trial visits, unless otherwise indicated. All deramiocel infusions will be conducted in an outpatient setting at the investigative site on Day 1 and Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, and 57.
