What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This early-stage trial tests the safety of an experimental stem cell product called MiraMSC in people aged 60 to 85 with mild to moderate frailty. MiraMSC is made from donated umbilical cord stem cells and is given through an IV. The study will look at different dose schedules to see if the treatment is well tolerated.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
MiraMSC-FS-001, a product made from donated umbilical cord stem cells (mesenchymal stem cells), given by IV infusion
What this could lead to
If safe and effective, this approach could point toward a treatment that reduces frailty and improves physical function in older adults.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small Phase 1 trial focused only on safety, not on proving the treatment works. The stem cells may not improve frailty, and there could be unexpected side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects will be eligible for enrollment in the study only if they meet ALL the following criteria at time of Screening: 1. Subjects aged ≥ 60 through ≤ 85 years old. 2. Subjects with clinical diagnosis of mild to moderate Frailty Syndrome as assessed by the Investigator with a Clinical Frailty Scale score between 4 to 6\. 3. Subject will not start any new treatment for this condition during the study. * The new treatment refers to any clinical study of new investigational therapies or any other stem cell therapies. Subject will be allowed to continue ongoing medications and therapies that are not prohibited treatment as listed in Section 6.4.1 and are deemed necessary by the Investigator for appropriate medical care. Minor modifications or dose adjustments to ongoing frailty- related treatments that were initiated prior to study enrollment and are not prohibited by the protocol may be implemented if deemed necessary by the Investigator for appropriate care; such adjustments will not be considered the initiation of a new treatment. \*\* 4. Subjects with body weight between 40 to 90 kg. 5. Subject is willing to provide written informed consent to participate in the study after reading the informed consent form and the information provided. Exclusion Criteria: Subjects meeting ANY of the following criteria at time of Screening will be excluded from enrollment: 1. Subjects unwill ing or unable to perform any of the assessments required by endpoint analysis. 2. Subjects who have a diagnosis of any disabling neurologic disorder including, but not limited to: Parkinson's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, stroke or dementia. 3. Subjects who have a score on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) of 24 or below. 4. Subjects who have a significant comorbid medical condition(s) including, but not limited to: 1. Severe kidney disease requiring hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis; 2. Advanced liver disease such as severe liver cirrhosis; 3. Severe congestive heart failure (NYHA class 3 and 4); 4. Severe pulmonary dysfunction, including severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease stage III or IV (Gold classification) 5. Subjects who have a clinical history of malignancy within 5 years (i.e., patients with prior malignancy must be disease free for 5 years), except curatively-treated basal cell carcinoma or in situ carcinomas. 6. Subjects using chronic immunosuppressant therapy, including corticosteroids (\> 5 mg/day of prednisone, or equivalent), or TNF-alpha antagonists. 7. Subjects on chronic immunosuppressive transplant therapy. 8. Subjects who have participated in another clinical study of new investigational therapies within 6 months prior to screening. 9. Subjects who have received any other stem cell therapy within 12 months prior to screening. 10. Subjects with known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation and cellular therapies (i.e., penicillin or streptomycin). 11. Subjects who have a history of drug or alcohol abuse within the past 3 years. 12. Subjects who are known to be infected with HIV. 13. Subjects currently in hospital stay. 14. Subjects who have a significant illness as judged by principal investigator (PI) including, but not limited to: 1. Psychiatric illness 2. Uncontrolled hypertension or hypotension 3. Unstable cardiac arrhythmia 4. Active Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C infections 15. Subjects who have any condition that in the opinion of the Principal investigator limits lifespan to \< 1 year. 16. Subjects who have any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise the safety or compliance of the patient or preclude successful completion of the study. 17. Subjects with known or suspected bleeding disorders (including but not limited to hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, or platelet function disorders), or clinically significant coagulopathy (including abnormal PT, PTT, or INR) at screening. 18. Subjects receiving medications that may increase the risk of bleeding or coagulopathy (such as anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, or thrombolytics), unless medically necessary and approved by the Medical Monitor on a case- by-case basis.
