Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of autologous mesenchymal stem cell [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To evaluate effects on MS disease activity measured by: clinical variables, MRI, OCT, immunological analysis and quality of life scales [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 16
Study Start Date: December 2010
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: June 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: autologous mesenchymal stem cell
A single infusion of up to 2 million cells per Kg of autologous mesenchymal stem cells vs suspension media. The treatment will be reversed at 6 months
 Biological: autologous mesenchymal stem cells
A randomized double-blind, crossover study comparing treatment with autologous MSC vs. suspension media on patients with active MS

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years to 50 Years

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Inflammatory forms of MS

    1. Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients
    2. Secondary progressive MS (SPMS) patients with continued relapses
    3. Primary progressive MS (PPMS) patients with enhancing MRI lesions and positive CSF (oligoclonal banding)
  2. Age 18-50 years
  3. Disease duration >= 2 and >= 10 years
  4. EDSS 3.0 - 6.5

  5. Progression, continued relapses or worsening MRI after at least a year of attempted therapy evidenced by:

    1. Increase of >= 1 EDSS point (if baseline EDSS <= 5.0) or 0.5 EDSS points (if baseline EDSS >= 5.5), or quantifiable, objective evidence of equivalent progression
    2. >= 1 moderate-severe relapses in past 18 months
    3. >= 1 Gadolinium enhancing lesions (double or triple dose Gadolinium)
    4. >= 1 new T2 lesion
    5. For PPMS only, >= 1 Gadolinium enhancing lesions
  6. Has given informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. SPMS without ongoing relapses
  2. PPMS without positive CSF or Gadolinium enhancing lesions
  3. <= 3 months since treatment with any immunosuppressive therapy
  4. <=1 month since last treatment with interferon-B or glatiramer acetate
  5. Corticosteroid treatment <= 30 days
  6. Relapse <= 60 days
  7. History of cancer or clinical or laboratory results indicative of severe systemic diseases, including infection for HIV, Hepatitis B or C
  8. Any metallic or electronic device that precludes from undergoing MRI
  9. Pregnancy or lactation
  10. Current treatment with an investigational therapy
