Experimental: Treatment
Administration of four doses of BOOST cells with the first dose between 1-4 years of age and the three additional doses at +4, +8 and +12 months after the first dose. Each dose is 3x10^6 MSC/kg body weight.

- Safety and tolerability measured as seriousness, severity and frequency of treatment related adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: From baseline to 16 months follow up ]
The primary endpoint is safety and tolerability measured as seriousness, severity and frequency of treatment related adverse events (AEs)/Serious AE (SAE)/Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction (SUSAR)with specific focus on the following:
- Vital signs in conjunction with the MSC infusion
- Transfusion reactions (infusion toxicity, embolism, allergy, infections)
