1. Primary Objective To determine the safety and tolerability of 12 once monthly transfusions of GMFFP (Granulocyte - Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) Mobilized Fresh Frozen Plasma harvested from young, healthy donors), given to older, frail individuals who are at risk due to unhealthy aging and who will then have a subsequent 12-month follow-up period. 2. Secondary Objective To determine the efficacy in older, frail individuals of 12 once monthly transfusions of GMFFP (Granulocyte - Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) Mobilized Fresh Frozen Plasma harvested from young, healthy donors), and a subsequent 12-month follow-up period, to improve the Immune Risk Profile, ("IRP"), cognitive function (MME), quality of life (OPQOL-35), Frailty Index ("FI"), associated with unhealthy aging in the treated subjects.

Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: - Provide written informed consent. - Be aged between 55-95 years. - Show signs of frailty apart from a concomitant condition as assessed by the Investigator with a score of 4-7 on the Clinical Frailty Scale (Appendix 1) and/or Have an abnormal Immune Risk Profile (IRP) - Not be pregnant or nursing while participating in this trial. Both men and women of reproductive potential must agree to use an effective means of birth control while participating in the trial. Women of childbearing potential should have a negative serum pregnancy test before treatment, if not surgically sterile. - Have a negative neutrophil antibody test. - Have a negative Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Class I and II antibody test. - Have Cytomegalovirus (CMV) negative or positive sero-testing completed. - Have a life expectancy of at least 24 months as judged by the PI at the time of consent. - Have less than 4 weeks since prior medical therapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery - Have adequate organ function including: Hemoglobin greater than 10.0 g/dl Absolute neutrophils must be greater than 1,500/Microliter(uL) Platelet count must be greater than100,000/uL Serum bilirubin must be less than 2mg/dL Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) must be less than 90 units/L Alanine Transaminase (ALT) must be less than 105 units/L Serum creatinine must be less than 2mg/dL Exclusion Criteria: - Have a score of less than 4 or greater than 7 on the Clinical Frailty Scale or Have a score of less than 4 and a No Immune Risk Profile (IRP) - Have used anti-inflammatory medications within 7 days of study treatment,treated subjects may be re-screened after 14 days - Abnormal clinical values including but not limited to: Platelet count less than 100,000/mm3 Absolute neutrophils less than 1500/uL Hemoglobin less than 10 g/dL Aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, or alkaline phosphatase Greater than 3 times upper limit of normal Serum bilirubin greater than 2 mg/dL - Be an organ transplant recipient or have an active listing (or expected future listing) for transplant of any organ. - Have a documented intolerance to plasma or its components, or prior intolerance to intravenous fluids. - Have known serum antibodies to plasma proteins, such as haptoglobin, Complement Component (C3/C4), or alpha-1-antitrypsin. - Previous plasma transfusion within 30 days of signing informed consent. - Serious comorbid illness including, but not limited to: HIV or hepatitis Congenital deficiency of immunoglobulin A (IgA) Pulmonary edema Advanced liver or renal failure Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, Significant and/or symptomatic cardiovascular disease (e.g. any history of myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, unstable angina, uncontrolled arrhythmia) Active serious infection. Hemorrhagic cystitis Cardiac revascularization within last six months Severe obstructive ventilatory defect Renal insufficiency (serum creatinine greater than 177 mol/L or creatinine clearance less than 20 mL/min) Sickle cell disease or hemoglobinopathy Cancer Any other condition that the investigator believes may compromise the safety or compliance of the patient or the study evaluation. - No vascular access - Pregnant or nursing female - Recent ( less than 24 months) history of drug or alcohol abuse - Current participation in an investigational therapeutic or medical device trial - Treatment with any human blood product, including intravenous immunoglobulin, during the 6 months prior to screening or during the trial. - Recent use (within 30 days) of immunosuppressive agents - Inability to perform any assessments or relevant procedures required for the study or to give informed consent Although not considered a part of the formal eligibility criteria, the treating physicians will evaluate additional factors that may increase subject risk, including but not limited to: The presence of serious illnesses that would limit survival to less than two years. The presence of psychiatric conditions that would prevent compliance with study visits or impact informed consent. The presence of uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, age-related or other serious medical conditions, or infection, which, in the opinion of the treating physician, would make study participation unreasonably hazardous. |

Primary | Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by clinical symptoms, laboratory abnormalities, serious adverse events and treatment-limiting adverse events | To determine the safety and tolerability of 12 once monthly transfusions of GMFFP (Granulocyte - Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) Mobilized Fresh Frozen Plasma harvested from young, healthy donors) given to older, frail individuals who are at risk due to unhealthy aging and who will be assessed throughout the duration of treatment. After the one-year treatment period, participants will complete follow-up assessments every 3 months for 1 year. | 24 months | |
Secondary | Efficacy outcomes as measured by changes from baseline at 12 and 24 months assessing Immune Risk Profile (IRP) | To determine the efficacy in older, frail individuals of 12 once monthly transfusions of GMFFP (Granulocyte - Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) Mobilized Fresh Frozen Plasma harvested from young, healthy donors), and a subsequent 12-month follow-up period, to improve the Immune Risk Profile (IRP) as assessed by aging, inflammation and immune function biomarkers. | 12 and 24 months | |
Secondary | Efficacy outcomes as measured by changes from baseline at 12 and 24 months assessing cognitive function (MME) | To determine the efficacy in older, frail individuals of 12 once monthly transfusions of GMFFP (Granulocyte - Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) Mobilized Fresh Frozen Plasma harvested from young, healthy donors), and a subsequent 12-month follow-up period, to improve cognitive function (MME) as assessed by cognitive impairment and to follow the course of cognitive changes in an individual over time. The test examines functions, including registration, attention and calculation, recall, language, ability to follow simple commands, and orientation. | 12 and 24 months | |
Secondary | Efficacy outcomes as measured by changes from baseline at 12 and 24 months assessing quality of life (OPQOL-35) | To determine the efficacy in older, frail individuals of 12 once monthly transfusions of GMFFP (Granulocyte - Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) Mobilized Fresh Frozen Plasma harvested from young, healthy donors), and a subsequent 12-month follow-up period, to improve quality of life (OPQOL-35) assessed by the effect of health, social relationships, independence, psychological well-being, and activities on overall quality of life in older individuals | 12 and 24 months | |
Secondary | Efficacy outcomes as measured by changes from baseline at 12 and 24 months assessing Frailty Index (FI) | To determine the efficacy in older, frail individuals of 12 once monthly transfusions of GMFFP (Granulocyte - Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) Mobilized Fresh Frozen Plasma harvested from young, healthy donors), and a subsequent 12-month follow-up period, to improve Frailty Index ("FI"), as measured by eight frailty factors including nutritional status, physical activity, mobility, energy, strength, cognition, mood, and social support | 12 and 24 months |
