Treatment of Severe Adult Traumatic Brain Injury Using Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells
Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Traumatic Brain Injury
In brief
The purpose of this study is to determine if bone marrow harvest, BMMNC separation, and re-infusion in adults with acute severe TBI is safe and will improve functional outcome. 12/09/2015 Update: The study is closed to new enrollment and all follow-up visits have been completed. Data analysis is underway.
