FDA Authorizes Simultaneous Stem Cell Trials for Parkinson’s
This 60-patient trial is the second FDA clinical trial authorization in Parkinsons for HBSCRF, who already has a 24-patient double-blind placebo trial underway utilizing autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
- This 60-patient trial is the second FDA clinical trial authorization in Parkinsons for HBSCRF, who already has a 24-patient double-blind placebo trial underway utilizing autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
- HBSCRF will become the first research organization in the U.S. to conduct simultaneous trials examining effects of administering the patients own cells (autologous) and donor cells (allogeneic) on the same disease condition.
- We have to explore every facet of how adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells act in this disease condition, says HBSCRF Founder Donna Chang.
- Our primary research focus has always been on autologous stem cells, but in COVID, for example, when we ran three simultaneous studies in prevention and treatment, we encountered a situation where people needed cells but did not have their stem cells banked.
