Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the infusion of intrathecal autologous bone marrow total nucleated cells would improve the neurologic evolution of pediatric patients with quadriparetic cerebral palsy.


Clinical Trial Description

There is accumulated evidence that shows that the administration of bone marrow total nucleated cells (TNC) into the brain may produce some benefits by different mechanisms like cytokine production, in several neurological areas such as motor, social, adaptative and cognitive.

It has been found that after introducing TNC in the subarachnoid space of the spinal cord, these cells may be transported through the cerebrospinal fluid and can be delivered more efficiently to the injured area, compared with intravenous route in patients with neurologic injury.

Patients will be stimulated for 3 consecutive days with subcutaneous granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and then their bone marrow will be harvested according to their weight. Bone marrow will be processed in order to obtain the buffy coat and minimize the amount of red blood cells. An inoculum of 10mL of this TNC will be infused intrathecally. Patients will be evaluated with the "Gross Motor Functional Classification System" before the procedure and one, three and six months after that. ;
