Study summary

This study is a pilot single arm, Phase 1b study of the safety and preliminary efficacy of PSC-05, an adipose-derived autologous mesenchymal stem cell for the treatment of chronic mTBI. This study will focus on United States military special forces operators.

Read the detailed description

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is generally associated with a good recovery; however between 15% and 25% patients develop chronic issues. This is of greater concern in individuals with a history of multiple mTBI's and in contact sports where there is risk for long-term neurological disorders. To date there are no FDA approved treatments for these patients. The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety of an intravenous injection of an investigational biologic product (IBP), PSC-05, the subject's own adipose-derived stem cells, to treat the persistent neurobehavioral symptoms related to chronic mTBI. Safety will be assessed at Day 30 and Termination of the study. The secondary objective is to get initial data on efficacy of the PSC-05 by comparing baseline to Day 30 and Day 90 using cognitive assessment tools and subject self-reported questionnaires. The NSI will be the principal efficacy assessment tool for assessing study endpoint. The purpose of conducting the study is to provide clinical safety data for leading to larger clinical studies to evaluate dose and efficacy and this data will be used for FDA IND filings and pursuit of a BLA.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
