Evaluate the Safety and Feasibility of Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

Summary

To assess the safety and of a single dose of IV infusion of placenta derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (PLMSCs) in patients with secondary progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS) disease. Monitoring will be encompassed baseline assessments and follow-ups over subsequent months, evaluating clinical signs, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), cytokines, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional MRI (fMRI), cognitive \& psychological evaluations, and flow cytometry for B cell markers.
