Summary

This study is designed as a prospective, open label, single arm pilot clinical study that will establish the safety and efficacy of a single injection of mesenchymal stromal cells in patients. Each subject will receive one intra-articular injection of autologous mesenchymal stromal cells derived from infrapatellar fat pad (FP-MSC) tissue samples collected from the subject during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery.

Conditions

  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Autologous Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Autologous mesenchymal stromal/stem cells extracted from the subject during a routine standard of care ACL reconstruction surgery and reintroduced in one clinic visit approximately 21 days after completion of the surgery. After being removed from the patient, the cells will be cultured, modified, and harvested to become the final investigational product. Each subject will receive 1.5 ml of the investigative drug. This will contain 5x10\^7 (50 million) autologous MSCs.
