Repeated Infusions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Children With Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Summary

This is a study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of repeated Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSC) infusions to patients with Type II or III osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Participants will receive MSC infusions approximately every 4 months to complete a total of 6 infusions over 20 months. Participants will be followed for 4 months post their last MSC infusion.
